.NET Update failed

[jeffrynov]

Hi everyone :D I would like to ask here first other than looking into it on the net with Google and jump out of nowhere, because I think the same thing with you all although this may be the simplest question I might help others with the same problem as I have also to complete the database of problems and solution here on the forum.
Okay now straight to the problem, I got this situation :

I got few important updates my computer can not download it shows code 643 is there any solution to this ? please take a look at this screenshot below :


That's all for now any intelligent entities can help me ? thanks before.

Thanks Rich46 you are very much helping me here that was a short simple solution explanation thank you for your help

 

[jeffrynov]

and could you tell me why would I need to reset my windows update anyway??

 

[richc46]

Usually they have to be reset because the current or prior update did not install properly. The solution given does not always work.

 

[jeffrynov]

thats it now I should be less worried about those update since now I can use that Reset.bat for the future it sorted out

 

[richc46]

When you update, install a few at a time.
Look at size, large size should install only one or two, smaller can install more each time.

Hi all,

This is a personal question as I have the same issue & by no means a hi-jack of the thread.

Q.
Are you able to activate power shell in Windows features?

I am unable to activate it & believe this is the root cause of the update failure.

What are your findings?

Have tried both those options but this still persists in coming up. Have tried so many times now I am beginning to wonder if there is way of deleting the reminder


Edit: Just as matter of interest the update history is telling me that I have never installed any updates - yet when I cleaned this machine up it downloaded quite a few.

Did the tutorial solve the first problem?

Did the tutorial solve the first problem?

No rich it didn't even come up with a RESET sceen.

With your post, I thought that it was done. Here is my file on fixes.

How do I reset Windows Update components?
Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7, and for Windows Server 2008 R2
Cannot Update Windows using Windows Update

Try these one should get you working, again.

@Lottie, dont think these apply to your situation

Thanks Richard I'll give them a go as the MS Fixit site didn't do anything.

No go mate have done just about everything now including that incredibly long readiness tool install.

I will just have to see if she can find the disk that the machine came with and do a format and reinstall or put Windows 7 on it - this is so very frustrating>:-(

Hi,

If you run the "Reset tool"

How do I reset Windows Update components?

in an agresive mode (It does not recommended it though?), as I did, it reset the windows update history & I am now running Windows update to find the updates I need.

It has found the hiden driver updates (Now hiden again) & the problematic update from ealier.

Trying an update now. I will be back when it has finished!

 

[Lottiemansion]

OK,

Well that achieved nothing! Same fault 643, for me anyway.

1. Turn off User account.

2. Clean boot.

3. Use the .Net framework clean up utility from this link.

4. Restart the computer.

5. Download the latest version of .Net framework 4 and install it.

Hi & thank you.

I have used the instructions above & now have a full version of .Net 4 installed. The only difference to your instructions was to download the "Full" 48MB version of the install file: -

The Web installer pointed me to the Font section of the setup & therefore downloaded the full setup file: -
