with all of the above being stated i remember a major problem for windows 7 sp1 was a file check error where it would check your hdd with a quick drive scan for errors or bad sectors. You may want to run a HDD quick check also...

TS4Bm, I am tried your sfc /scannow solution until id did not find anymore errors. I did not try to download sfcfix. The update fail again. I am going to try two of the other solutions posted and if those work then I will reformat the PC.

Nothing works. It is ok to use a Windows 7 SP1 (the full O/S CD but at the SP1 level) and run a windows upgrade?
One of the steps here was a Windows 7 Repair Install. If truly nothing works, then back up the system, and install Windows 7 fresh. Update drivers and the OS and then install your applications and recover your data.
Yes, Windows 7 In-place upgrade with or without SP1 might fix this problem and if not you have to do a clean Install.

As per John & Ramin's comments, yes that is fine. Either upgrade if it allows for this, or run repair from it.

Everything failed, a fresh install is the solution.
The message above does not look like a Windows message.
