I've been trying to install the service pack 1 update for Windows 7
and when the computer restarts, it starts to install a few things then I get this error in between, and it happens every time i restart my computer

I can restart and run utility partition and use windows restore to get my computer back running again but the SP1 isnt installed

I tried the solution on the microsoft website of installing a hotfix but still no luck

if anyone could help that would be great

You may have some permission problems...

1. Download and run MSFix
2. Download SubinACL
3. Copy this to notepad and save as win7sp1.bat Do not save as Win7sp1.txt.bat

I followed all your instructions and also tried using the standalone installer
this is what I get

I downloaded the tool, it installed a hotfix and i tried running SP1 installer again and I get the same error

During the process did, on the red bar, did you get any errors?
Try this

Yeah i got many errors at the red bar

I followed that guide and it got rid of that error but when the computer restarted it came back to the Cx00000034 error shown in my first picture

Had to restore again to get back into windows

The most likely solution for your problem is to actually format and perform a reinstall. Backup any important data if necessary.
That Windows 7 disc, is it original?

I would rather not reformat and reinstall if needed
yes its original

run sfc/scannow then install SP1
Don't work, you can try first create a slipstream Win7 SP1 disc by using
ImageX tool through MS Win7AIK (Automated Installation Kit).
The kit will also help you create a bootable ISO image. Then perform a repair install.

To do a repair install, insert your Win7 as your still logged in to Windows.
Run the setup and select upgrade.
Seriously instead of wasting all this time, it's better that you save your stuffs and just format for a clean installation.

I did a repair install and i have about 78 updates that wont install
the computer reboots and it says failure configuring updates, reverting changes

Why don't you just listen to kls, reformat, and reinstall windows. It takes like an hour.

rather have this fixed the other way
then having to back up all my files (which would take hours)

Well, comparing a couple hours compared to the couple days you've been trying to fix the problem..

I have recently been getting this error while trying to update Windows 7 64 bit. It fails out when updating. My solution since reformat isn't an option was to disable updates.

Microsofts official solution should their new Windows Integrity Update Checker tool thing fails is a full reinstall, or an in place install.

kls85 is correct for the resolution to this particular issue. This isn't isolated to Windows 7 either. It has existed since Vista.
