windows update error 80070643 when upgrading to Windows 10

[69ingChipmunkzz]

On Window 8.1.
Boosetd the install which a lot of people are doing by clearing SoftwareDistrobution/Dowload and running the cmd prompt.

Downloaded the Windows 10 update, as soon as the Preparing to Install dialogue was done, the computer restart, trying to install a normal Windows 8.1 update instead.
Once im booted up again, I get this error

https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/3eyrre/fix_for_the_80240020_error_when_trying_to_install/

and try the fix.

Once I try and redownload the update again, it skips to 100%, then fails the update with the error 80070643 being reported.

Thanks guys 😀

Could just be server-side; Microsoft's servers are being hammered today. You can try to download the iso manually if you want

Yeah Im 52% of the way through te ISO now, was reluctant to as I saw some pretty bad things about it on Reddit, especially "something went wrong" with no error code!

That might actually not be an issue with the download itself. The most frequent cause for that particular error is an issue with the .NET framework installation on your machine. You've got a couple of options.

You could turn the .NET framework feature off and then try the update/install.

Turn .NET framework 3.5 feature off.
• From a Run command box (Windows Key + R) type ‘appwiz.cpl’ and click OK.
• Select ‘Turn Windows features on/off.’
• Uncheck .NET framework 3.5.

Now, make sure it's a clean, functioning framework.
• Get and run the Windows Update Reset tool - http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9665683
• Run the .NET Cleaner tool - http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Components-PostAttachments/00-08-90-44-93/dotnetfx_5F00_cleanup_5F00_tool.zip
• Right click on the Windows logo (bottom left of your screen) and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Execute the following commands:
fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\
cd %windir%\system32\config\txr
attrib -r -s -h *
del *
Cd c:\windows\System32\SMI\Store\Machine
Attrib –a –h –s *.TM*
Del *.TM*

• Restart in Safe mode with a command prompt. (Ctrl+Alt+Del, power icon, hold shift and select Restart)
• Select Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Start Up Settings
• Pick option 6 to boot into Safe Mode with a command prompt.
• Run the .NET clean-up tool again and reboot.

Now, try installing Windows 10. You shouldn't receive any additional errors with a pristine version of the .NET framework functioning on your machine.

Hope this helps!

1. Go into "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in that folder.
2. Now, run the command prompt as an administrator. Type in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow".
3. Go to your Control Panel > Windows Update and your Windows 10 should start re-downloading from scratch, hopefully without flaws this time.

I got the "Something Went Wrong" thing the first time I tried to create an ISO, i was having it on my 2nd hard drive. So the 2nd time I tried it I told it to put the ISO on my C: drive and it worked fine.
