Windows 7 SP1 install failed (0x80070003 : error_path_not_found) if missing certain built-in RTM driver

  • Artikel

Recently We are seeing some errors of Windows 7 SP1 installation failure.

The installation will fail on some system(especially system language in ZH-CN) due to missing certain windows RTM driver. We tried to install SP1 but get error message. (Error_Path_Not_Found 0x80070003). Checked on the CBS log:

2010-11-07 13:09:52, Info CBS DriverUpdateUninstallUpdates failed [HRESULT = 0x80070003 - ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND]
2010-11-07 13:09:52, Error CBS Doqe: Failed uninstalling driver updates [HRESULT = 0x80070003 - ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND]
2010-11-07 13:09:52, Info CBS Perf: Doqe: Uninstall ended.
2010-11-07 13:09:52, Info CBS Failed uninstalling driver updates [HRESULT = 0x80070003 - ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND]
2010-11-07 13:09:52, Error CBS Shtd: Failed while processing non-critical driver operations queue. [HRESULT = 0x80070003 - ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND]
2010-11-07 13:09:52, Info CBS Shtd: Rolling back KTM, because drivers failed.

The causes of this failure could be many. For example, some 3rd party applications like anti-virus software or system optimization software could delete the system files.

The solution is simple:

Check the CBS.log under C:windowslogscbs, search for the error 0x80070003 and check what files are missing.

For example:

C:WindowsSystem32DriverStoreFileRepositoryatiilhag.inf_amd64_neutral_951c1812f542740a

Then you can go into the Windows 7 DVD and extract this file and place to the correct folder.

    Symptom: When installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), you could possibly encounter errors 0x800f0a13

    I don't know if this will fix everyone's problem, but I solved this error by selecting "run Microft Update as Administrator".  It seems that, even though my user is an administrator account, some of the system files were hidden to my account and coudn't be changed during the update process.

    The solution to this problem is NOT simple because the god damn CBS.log doesn't specify what files are missing!  See?! 2011-03-23 03:30:06, Info                  CBS    DriverUpdateUninstallUpdates failed [HRESULT = 0x80070003 - ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND] 2011-03-23 03:30:06, Error                 CBS    Doqe: Failed uninstalling driver updates [HRESULT = 0x80070003 - ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND] 2011-03-23 03:30:06, Info                  CBS    Perf: Doqe: Uninstall ended. 2011-03-23 03:30:06, Info                  CBS    Failed uninstalling driver updates [HRESULT = 0x80070003 - ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND] 2011-03-23 03:30:06, Error                 CBS    Shtd: Failed while processing non-critical driver operations queue.

    Is there not yet a fix for error_path_not_found (0x80070003)? I've tried all the fixes but this problem doesn't go away!  So, what say we just skip sp1?

    I was gettin the error and tried the usual right click, properties, unblock and that did nothing.  For whatever reason, copying it from the open network share to my desktop and running it worked.

    Constantly getting this error as well. So fed up with this SP1 issue I am seriously thinking of ditching Windows once and for all. Pure incompetence on the part of Microsoft. They take your money then let you rot when their software fails.
