Windows Update dead as dead in death.

Question

Hi.
I just want to let you guys know about a common defect in windows update that maybe repairable.
It affects users since years and may pop up over and over , depending on the dll installed.
Problem:
A path problem stops the WUD from starting. From the CBS LOG:
A reference to d:\win7sp1_gdr\base\wcp\
I don’t have that drive letter assigned, except for the DVD dive, I can’t recollect installing a Service pack from there. I was using Windows update until then. Read further down –>

Search for “d:\win7sp1_gdr\” and see how common the problem is.
Then I found a reference to
smiprovider.dll
http://www.herdprotect.com/smiprovider.dll-2ed894ff8830b99a6c199d2eac8382ddc76f5b92.aspx
It looks like a bad compilation that someone did. I cannot overcome the problem, because in order to update, I need Windows Update to run.
Installing the latest version of
System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 (KB947821) [October 2014]
did not solve the issue as I hoped. Everyone else that had that issue and reported his/her fix to it ended in reinstalling the system. That is my last resort because I would need to rebuild my system of installed Office and Adobe
suites and all the small tools – this would take days. As for now, I can run all programs that I had installed so far, but getting new programs like new versions of IE is impossible.
Maybe someone can look into that issue and if it is fixable with a patch, let me know about it. I can help with more information as well.
Thanks so much,

Hi,
What error code prompted when you tried to install Windows Updates? Does this issue happen on all updates or a specific update? When did this issue happen? Please share more information about the issue you encountered.
Currently, I would suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:
Run virus scan.

Open an administrative Command Prompt window.
Run the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
Net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
          Net start wuauserv
Try to install updates again.
