Error Code 80240043

[slimlet]

PC can identify the updates that are required but then cannot do anything with them as this code appears. I have searched Microsoft & Google but no joy. Please help as installing them on their own is taking ages!

Try install update from Microsoft Download Center http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
not from Windows Update

If still no result:

1.Uninstall all security software which you have: non-system firewall,antivirus,antispyware
2.Run cmd.exe with administrative previlliges (right click on cmd.exe) as admin and type:

sfc /scannow

When it finish type in cmd.exe

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

on your desktop appear sfcdetails.txt

3.Try reregister WU How do I reset Windows Update components?
4.Run Readiness Tool Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for Windows Server 2008, and for Windows 7
This tool even don't help create CheckSur.log file in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log


5.Download firegenul Altair Technologies Ltd.
place firegenul.exe in C:\Windows\System32

next again run cmd.exe with admin previlliges and type:

firegenul

it creates report from WindowsUpdate.log and is stored in C:\Windows\System32 as FireGenReport.htm

FireGenReport.htm,CheckSur.log and sfcdetails.txt pack and attache to post

I am having the same error code... I have tried everything posted on the internet with no luck. I was able to get as far as step two Favius posted and the cmd says"FINDSTR: Cannot open Wood\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt" My system did say it found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them - Details are in the cbs.log

I checked CBS.log and generated sfcdetails.txt.Your scdetails.txt file is OK this means systems files are OK

View attachment sfcdetails.txt
but you have many corruption in CBS key /C:\Windows\WinSxS /or in C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages

for many hotfixes you have this error:

2009-09-29 10:27:19, Error Failed to find the CixTarget for Container package_156_for_kb970653~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0.cat
2009-09-29 10:27:19, Error DpxException hr=0x80070002 code=0x020109

I need more details:run Readiness Tool Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for Windows Server 2008, and for Windows 7
when you run it it should generate CheckSur.log file in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS -please attache this file to post

Strange.Readiness Tool inform only about one error in components.Maybe it doesn't show at once all errors - I had something in another thread ,we'll see

I attached to post almost all request by CheckSur files,download them and unpack anywhere

1.Navigate to C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages,takeownership of this folder and add your account to have full control
2.Copy my files to this folder -if you have already any file then replace it.
3.Remove your account from permissions to Packages folder
4.Restore ownership of Packages folder back to "NT Service\TrustedInstaller"

Useful links:Take Ownership of file
TrustedInstaller - Restore as Owner
Folder Permissions

if still WU will not work remove CheckSur.log from C:\Windows\Logs\CBS and again run Readiness Tool and attache the new CheckSur.log.We'll contunue procedure untill Readiness Tool stop report any errors.

I tried the WU with no luck. Still showing the same error code 80240043 after restart. I can get some of the updates showing when I turn the computer off. I just received 3 install's of "help" for office but not the "Office suite service pack 2"??

 

[Flavius]

As you can see Readiness Tool report you don't have any problems with components now but of course it is not always equivalent solving all issues with WU.Do you have still trouble with WU or not?Even yes WU can change error code now...

 

[jgriffin1978]

No WU yet still showing Error code 80240043.

 

[Flavius]

Sorry I didn't notice before your post 10 with your comments.

Question:

Do you have these keys:

HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB968389_client_0....

or

HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_156_for_KB970653....
?

 

[jgriffin1978]

For the first one I have:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicin
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB968389_client_1~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.3g\Packages\Package_for_KB968389_client_0~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.3
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB968389_client_2~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.3
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB968389_client~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.3
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB968389~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.3

And the second:
I do not have a Package_156_for_KB9070653

The regestry jumps from Package_15 to Package_159

 

[Flavius]

OK.Not for all packages are CBS keys -it is normal I've just checked now.Suppose Readiness Tool mistake and you still have corrupted files in C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages as say CBS.log.I filtered the whole log and tomorrow I'll attache all files to replace which CBS.log report.There are many -attached file.I think only corruptions are in Packages folder not in CBS key otherwise CBS.log report them too (I checked in google)

 

[jgriffin1978]

Thanks, I just got this computer and I am looking forward to having it run without all the glitches of my last one (was going to questionable sites). Thanks for all your help Flavius.:D

 

[Flavius]

I uploaded required files here: Packages.zip

download them and unpack anywhere

Procedure to raplacing files the same as in post 8

1.Navigate to C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages,takeownership of this folder and add your account to have full control
2.Copy my files to this folder -if you have already any file then replace it.
3.Remove your account from permissions to Packages folder
4.Restore ownership of Packages folder back to "NT Service\TrustedInstaller"

 

[jgriffin1978]

Done:

I have tried the WU and still the 80240043 appears. I also re-started and tried again.

 

[Flavius]

or Microsoft Help and Support

 

[jgriffin1978]
