Fatal error C0000034 applying update operation 282 of ……..

Unfortunately, we’ve had two three four machines so far that have experienced the problem. Its been causing some real headaches for us today. And it appears like this glitch deletes the restore points and thus you are unable to restore to a earlier time.

Warning: Some advanced steps follow. The fix isn’t exactly simple, but it may get you out of a pinch. Your results may vary. Make sure you know what you are doing.

UPDATE: Warning: This fix will get you back into Windows, but the Service Pack will still not be installed properly. As a result, Windows will show that SP1 is installed, when in fact it is not. Or at least not properly.

UPDATE 2: Microsoft has confirmed that there is problem, but they are still investigating.

Microsoft Support Tech Recommended Fix:

  1. Boot into Windows Recovery and choose command prompt then run the following commands:
  2. Reg load HKLM\BaseSystem C:\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM
  3. Reg Delete "HKLM\BaseSystem\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" /v SetupExecute
  4. Reg add "HKLM\BaseSystem\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" /v SetupExecute /t REG_MULTI_SZ
  5. Reg unload HKLM\BaseSystem
  6. Restart the Computer.

 

If the above recommended fix doesn’t work try this:

  1. Reboot your computer while it’s starting up.
  2. When your computer starts up again, choose the option “Launch Startup Repair”When the Startup repair starts, click cancel.
  3. After you click cancel it will show a box. Click “Don’t Send” Click the link “View advanced options for recovery and support”
  4. In the new window click Command Prompt at the bottom.
  5. In Command Prompt type this and press enter: %windir%\system32\notepad.exe
  6. Notepad will open. In notepad go to File–>Open.
  7. Change the type of files notepad views from .txt to All Files
  8. Now in Notepad, go to C:\Windows\winsxs\ (or whichever drive Windows is installed on)
  9. In that folder, find pending.xml and make a copy of it
  10. Now open the original pending.xml (it will load really slow because the file is huge)
  11. Press CNTRL+F and search for the following exactly: 0000000000000000.cdf-ms
  12. Delete the following text (yours may be a little different):
    <Checkpoint/>
    <DeleteFile path="\SystemRoot\WinSxS\FileMaps\_0000000000000000.cdf-ms"/>
    <MoveFile source="\SystemRoot\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames\e56db1db48d4cb0199440000b01de419._0000000000000000.cdf-ms" destination="\SystemRoot\WinSxS\FileMa\_0000000000000000.cdf-ms"/>
    Your PC might not have all 3 sections of code (<Checkpoint>, <DeleteFile>, <MoveFile>). Just make sure you delete section “Checkpoint” and whatever other sections have “000000000000000.cdf-ms”. They will be right next to eachother.
  13. Save the file, close notepad, close command prompt, restart your computer.
  14. Once your computer starts up, do a normal startup (it may stall for 5-10 minutes at the “starting windows” screen, but leave it going) and the Service Pack will install some more stuff and restart a few times and then everything should be working! For some people, it reverts everything and cancels the service pack installation. For other people, the service pack installation completes. Either result is fine.

If anyone has a better solution, please post it in the comments.

Thanks thiswoot for this solution.

I’m new here. http://www.kirbtech.com/blog/2011/02/21/hello-im-new-here/ http://www.kirbtech.com/blog/2011/02/21/hello-im-new-here/#comments Tue, 22 Feb 2011 04:25:14 +0000 http://www.kirbtech.com/?p=2151 Eight years ago I came to central PA to join a small technology company, and started out answering the phone and doing basic technical support. I grew with the company and within a few years had become the Director of Sales and Marketing. In this position I met a lot of small business entrepreneurs. They shared their successes and failures. One thing they all had in common was that they had a dream. They had a vision they believed in and were willing to take a risk for.

I’m proud to be joining a company built on a dream to provide the best customer service through our offering of Business Technology Services to small businesses in central PA.

If you’re an existing customer and you have feedback for how we can make our business better I want to hear it! If you are a part of a small business in Central PA I’d love to hear about your dream.

My name is Nathan Porter and I have officially started working here at Kirbtech, LLC as of February, 2011. Besides filling the position of Technical Consultant, I will be placing special attention on relationship management and customer service. I look forward to working with you. Please send feedback to comments@kirbtech.com

Turns out there is a simple fix. Simply uninstall Internet Explorer 9 RC. :)

The error message that kept coming up was:

There is not enough disk space on C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ to install Service Pack 3. Setup requires an additional 4 megabytes of free space or if you also want to archive the files for uninstallation, Setup requires 4 additional megabytes of free space. Free additional space on your hard disk and then try again.

After double checking that there was indeed enough free space, I discovered that a simple registry edit will solve the problem.

  1. Click Start – Run – And type “regedit” and press enter. This should open the Registry Editor.
  2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
  3. Right click and create a New – String Value.
  4. Set the name to “BootDir” and then change its data value to “C:\”

You don’t even need to restart Windows for this change to take effect. Simply restart your Service Pack 3 setup and it should complete successfully.

Via windowsreference.com which states:

This happens because iMac uses EFI file format which Windows XP does not support.

After upgrading a laptop to Windows 7, the Performance Options window appeared after every startup. Not a huge deal, but still annoying enough. Turns out there is a simple fix. Simply open an Administrator Command Prompt and type the following:

sc config afs start= disabled

Command to fix Performance Options from automatically starting on boot up.
