Windows Update fails with code 80070246 on Windows 7 and other fixes haven't helped so far

[AWS]

I can't install the update "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2792100)". Windows Update ends with error code 80070246. Some other updates succeeded.

 

I had other problems last week, which I finally tracked down to bad expansion RAM, which I then removed. That removed the problems I was having at that time. But now, a week later, I'm seeig this problem with Windows Update, which may or may not be a consequence

of some damage that was inflicted by the earlier RAM problem.

 

Before I discovered that RAM was the cause of the problems I was seeing at that time, I also restored a previous System Restore Point for an update that was being installed at that time the RAM problem started.

Now I was planning to go back to an earlier System Restore Point before the RAM problem, to see if that would fix Windows Update. But now there are no restore points old enough for that remaining.

 

I've searched this forum and read previous answers about code 80070246, but the ones I've been able to try so far haven't helped.

 

I ran the tools in the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 . The problem still remains.

Some answers refer to a GlobalInstallorder.xml in a specific directory in WindowsWinsxs, but those answers seem to pertain to Windows Vista. The directory mentioned does not exist. Other similar directories with that file do exist, but the file GlobalInstallorder.xml

is the same in several of them, so there doesn't seem to be any random damage to only one of them to try fixing.

 

Some answers say install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) to be able to replace some Winsxs files. I haven't been able to download that yet, since I'm on a slow Internet connection and the download is big. And I haven't found out which files

to replace, anyway.

 

I wish Windows Update would tell me which file the error code refers too...

 

I tried the System Update Readiness Tool. The log file windowsLogsCBSCheckSUR.log mentions "Found 30 errors", "Fixed 11 errors". I don't know if that means there are remaining errors that still need fixing? And I don't know what to do about the issues

logged anyway.

 

The log ends with:

  CSI Manifest and S256H Do Not Match Total count: 1  CSI Missing Pinned Component Key Total count: 5  Fixed: CSI Missing Pinned Component Key.  Total count: 5  CSI Missing Deployment Key Total count: 2  CSI Missing Identity Total count: 5  Fixed: CSI Missing Identity.  Total count: 5  CSI Corrupt Identity Total count: 2  CSI Missing C Mark Total count: 3  Fixed: CSI Missing C Mark.  Total count: 3  CSI C Mark Deployment Missing Total count: 14  CSI Located Replacement: Invalid (S256H) Total count: 9  CSI F Mark Missing Total count: 3  Fixed: CSI F Mark Missing.  Total count: 3

I tried invstigating the last mentioned file, but it is identical to the same file on another computer with Windows 7 too, as well as the files in the corresponding Winsxs subdirectory. So I don't quite understand what it is complaining about.

 

If it is of any use, the rest of the log looks like this:
