Is this safe to apply blanketly before an upgrade? I do not want to start the process to only find that it hangs.

I am helping at an install fest on campus. I want things to go well.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975253/en-us which cleary states to *NOT* use the "resolution" until you'll find any hints related to a failing IphlpsvcMigPlugin in the setupact.log

Bye,

Thanks for Info, I was struggling with this problem since last 2 days.

My computer will not rollback to Vista. It gives the option to rollback but if you click on it it just reboots the same as clicking on Windows 7. I have tried sevearl suggestions from many forums but none have worked. I can download your fix toa flash drive but not sure how I could apply it.

Tech told us it was memory compatibility issue.

Hi,

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1.

I am on a small home-based LAN, my internet connection going through a DSL router.

My computer won't go for updates nor will it ping host names via command line interface, but my internet browser is working.

From cmd:

Can send/receive ping packets to IPs ofcomputers on LAN.

Can send/receive ping packets to IP of default gateway/DNS server

Can send/receive ping packets to external website IP.

Can-NOT send/receive internal/external host NAMES.

This leads me to believe it is a DNS problem.

Now, a few Services won't run. Below are the services and the error messages I get from Services and from CMD..

Automatic Update

From Services:

Could not start the Automatic Updates service on Local Computer.

Error 0x8007277a: The requested service provider could not be loaded or initialised.

From cmd:

System error 10106 has occurred.

The requested service provider could not be loaded or initialized.

Background Intelligent Transfer System

From Services:

Windows could not start the Background Intelligent Transfer Service on Local Computer. FOr more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -2147014790.

From Event Viewer:

From cmd:

IPSEC Services

From Services:

Could not start the IPSEC Services service on Local COmputer.

Error 10106: The requested service provider could not be loaded or initialised.

From cmd:

System error 10106 has occurred.

Net Logon

From Services:

Could not start the Net Logon service on Local Computer.

Error 10106: The requested service provider could not be loaded or initialized.

From cmd:

System error 10106 has occurred.

Also, I tried running System integrity Check and Repair 'SFC', but it won't run. :(

Next, I tried installing Microsoft Fixit tool from the Microsoft website, it wouldn't install.

Now, I would guess that these programs aren't running because of this basic DNS problem.

I would very grateful if anyone helps resolve this problem. I want to install the latest updates for my OS.

Thank you,

Austin
