WS08 ·
b. When you install this “Update” a logfile will be generated at c:\windows\logs\CBS with the name CheckSUR.log
The content of this log :

c. This means that from the KB951978 *.MUM files are missing in the packages store (located at c:\windows\servicing\packages)
Step 2. Retrieve the missing files
a. Download the KB Update as we need to extract files from it. In your Update History you can find this update fast as it is listed as the first failed update that happened :
b. Now double click this update.
c. Click on the link to the KB Article, this link will open internet explorer and just scroll down to the download links on the page :
d. Download the related package, rename the extension of the file from MSU to CAB
e. Open the file
f. Extract the CAB file to another location for example c:\temp
g. Open the cab file and search for the files that are listed in the checksur.log, extract those files to another lcoation (C:\temp)
h. Most of the time 1 of the files can not be found : Here it is
Package_for_KB951978~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.1.0.mum
i. Extract the update.mum instead and rename it to the missing name.
j.Now we have a collection of files that need to be copied to a protected location (C:\Windows\servicing\packages)
Step 3. Install the missing files
a. First we need to unprotect the packages directory so we can copy files to it
right click “Packages" Folder and choose properties, select tab security, click advanced and click on the tab “Owner”
b. As you can see the correct owner (trusted installer) is listed, for now you need to change the ownership to your own account. When done, you will be returned to the security overview, add yourself with full control permission to the folder
c. Now we can copy the missing files to the packages directory.
d. Most of the times you need to rerun the update to determine which files are missing and it will list *.CAT files as missing so you need to repeat the steps for extracting and copying the missing files.
e. If Still the check says that one package is missing, rename update.cat & update.mum to that missing package name and copy those files to c:\windows\servicing\packages.
f.Rerun the update detection until the log file does not report any missing files.
