Error C0000034 While installing SP1 for windows 7


While installing SP1 for windows 7 there are specific errors that occur during reboot. If you get error: “Fatal Error C0000034 Applying Update Operation 282 of...” 

Follow the below steps to fix the Error:

1.         Reboot your computer while it’s starting up.
          
2.         When your computer starts up again, choose the option “Launch Startup Repair”
             If you do not have this module installed in the OS, you'll need a Win7 install disc(i.e. 32 
             or 64-bit) as the OS installed. Just boot from CD and start from there. 
  
3.         When the Startup repair starts, click cancel.   
     
4.         After you click cancel it will show a box. Click “Don’t Send”, and then click the link “View  
             advanced options for recovery and support”  
       
5.         In the new window click Command Prompt at the bottom. 

6.         In Command Prompt type “%windir%\system32\notepad.exe” (without Quotes) and 
            press  Enter.      

7.         Notepad will open. Go to File –> Open. 
   
8.         Change the type of files notepad views from .txt to All Files
           
9.         Then go to C:\Windows\winsxs\ (or whichever drive Windows is installed on)
          
10.        In that folder, find pending.xml and make a copy of it and save it in same folder. (This is 
             just in case something happens to the original so you don't lose it.)

11.        Now open the original pending.xml (It will take a while to load because it's a huge file.)

12.        Press CNTRL+F and search for the following: 0000000000000000.cdf-ms

13.       Delete the following text (yours may be a little different):
           
            

14.        Save the file, close notepad, close command prompt, restart your computer.   
       
Conclusion:

Once your computer starts up, do a normal start-up (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 and then everything should be working. Sometime, it reverts everything and cancels the service pack installation. Whatever the result be, the computer will function normally without any data loss.
