"Update installation failed: Error information - 0xC8000247" RRS feed

  • Question

  • I got today a message in a popup window saying that my system is not genuine (I am using it for about two years, had never such problem before).

    According to the displayed information I tried to run a recommended tool (WindowsActivationUpdate.exe) but it crashed with the mesage: "Update installation failed: Error information - 0xC8000247". Unfortunately I cannot run updates (normally they are applied automatically on my system).

    What can I do to make updates again running?

    My system: Windows 7 (64 bit), prof., SP1.

    I know that people with similar problem are asked for the results of MGADiag.exe, I copied them below (without the product key).

    Some files are marked as tampered - how can I restore them to the original state? I saw other people on this forum having problems with exactly these files - maybe the tool checking for system genuity has a bug? (I do not mean that it crashes but another possible bug causing false alerts).

    Best regards

    The problem lies with the file integrity.
    This may simply be caused by a bad set of Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers -  
     
    Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers
     
    Once complete, please reboot twice, then post another MGADiag report.

  • The report looks good, now.

    Try this to reset WU the way it should be

    1) Open Windows Updates

    2) Click on 'Change settings'

    3) pick  'Never Check for updates' from the list and then click OK.

    4) Close Windows Updates

    5) reboot

    6) Open Windows Updates

    7) Click on 'Change Settings'

    8) pick  'Install updates automatically' from the list and then click OK

    Now check for updates.

  • To make compteley sure that things are stable, since you've uninstalled both Norton and McAfee programs, you should also run the dedicated removal tools as well.

    Norton Removal Tool
    McAfee MCPR
    reboot immediately after each uninstall (whether it asks for it or not)

    The problem lies with the file integrity.
    This may simply be caused by a bad set of Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers -  
     
    Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers
     
    Once complete, please reboot twice, then post another MGADiag report.

  • Thank you vary much for quick responses!

    I've installed the driver and rebooted twice. Below is the new report. There is now no information about tampered files now but after reboots again the window about "not genuine Windows" popped out. This time the WindowsActivationUpdate.exe tool went smoothly. Then I tried to start Windows Update. For some reasons it did not start (Windows Update window appeared but it has only border and menu - no contents, just empty white area. The window was not responsive). I closed it through task manager and tried to start again. This time a window with message "The remote procedure call failed and did not execute". Went to services window and checked the Windows Update service - it was marked as running. I've restarted it. Now the Windows Update Window appeared but when I was trying to update I got "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates. because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer". But the service is running (Task manager reports wuauserv as running)! Event Viewer in setup category has: 

      Windows update  could not be installed because of error 2359302 "" (Command line: ""C:\Windows\system32\WUSA.exe" "C:\Users\janusz\AppData\Local\Temp\\{03d56d60-7630-4c95-a4be-a56559eff182}.msu" /quiet /norestart")

    (there are five such entries, starting from yesterday's evening.)

    I removed the files from the temp directory, again restarted the update service - no progress (cannot do windows updates).

    So, I've returned to the starting point - that is the same information I got at the beginning. 

    I rebooted again, but Windows Update again refuse to get updates ("Windows Update cannot currently check for updates. because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer")

    What can I do now?

    Best regards

  • The report looks good, now.

    Try this to reset WU the way it should be

    1) Open Windows Updates

    2) Click on 'Change settings'

    3) pick  'Never Check for updates' from the list and then click OK.

    4) Close Windows Updates

    5) reboot

    6) Open Windows Updates

    7) Click on 'Change Settings'

    8) pick  'Install updates automatically' from the list and then click OK

    Now check for updates.

  • Thank you very, very much for your instant help! I can install updates again!

    I did what you wrote above. Additionally I've found in event viewer an error "The Cryptographic Services service failed to initialize the Catalog Database. The ESENT error was: -583.", which I've googled and found the following hints

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/the-cryptographic-services-service-failed-to-start/34421d55-4eaa-47fe-a7d9-d288f0276ef8

    According to them I've also removed Norton and McAfee applications (I do not know if this was necessary or not). After reboot Windows Update started working!

    Thank you once again!

  • Hi Janusz,

    I just want to confirm, are the Non-Genuine messages gone as well?

    Thank you,


    Darin MS



    Wednesday, May 23, 2012 11:02 PM
  • Yes!

    I mean: I cannot be completely sure in that sense that this window was just popping out unexpectedly on the screen, so I cannot say for sure that it will not happen suddenly again. But I am working on my computer all the time, and there were no more such messages for several hours. Therefore I am pretty sure that the problem was solved. And the updates are working again, which is crucial for me! If you know a way for checking if the "non-genuine problem" has gone for sure then just let me know, I'll be happy to do the needed check.

    Best regards

  • To make compteley sure that things are stable, since you've uninstalled both Norton and McAfee programs, you should also run the dedicated removal tools as well.

    Norton Removal Tool
    McAfee MCPR
    reboot immediately after each uninstall (whether it asks for it or not)

  • I have exactly the same problem. Moreover, I cannot install any updates, and switching off Windows Update, then restart the computer, then switching on was not helpful.

    I  installed windows from an image copy of my system, which in turn was installed from a Windows CD from MSDNAA. Shall I understand that MSDNAA software cannot be genuine since the same copy is used by many users?

    I tried to install the system directly from the CD, but the installation failed: it was impossible to install any drivers for the video card (ATI radeon 5730), even the newest drivers from ATI were rejected by Microsoft as being fake (not digitally signed). I tried to install Intel Rapid Storage Drivers, as pointed above, but the diagnostic tool found on the intel site found that all the drivers are up to date except the video card (which works perfectly, although is a fake driver according to Microsoft), and the driver from the wireless card (again, fake/malware driver according to Microsoft)

    I am quite pissed off, a Linux CD works perfectly, detects everything, has no driver issues, and I might just well wipe out the whole harddrive. I can't spend days struggling with buggy Microsoft software.

    Antivirus used: Avira Free Antivirus. I tried first Microsoft Security Essentials, but, of course, it failed to install (can't remember the error code, but it doesn't matter anymore, I will never go back to MSE).

    This is what mgad.exe can say:
