Unable to install Remote Server Administration Tools

[Guest VtAndi]

Have tried many times unsuccessfully to install x86fre_GRMRSAT_MSU. Installer just hangs and eventually says the following item(s) was not installed: KB958830. Have searched for solution and tried the following:

 

-Running "system scan" from the command prompt (no errors reported)

-Running System Update readiness which finds 4 errors (all related to this install) - unavailable repair files for 2 .mum and 2 .cat files the install placed in servicing\packages\

 

After this last, thought I would "remove" those files and try the download again using a different installer but I can't figure out how to do this in W7 as it keeps telling me I need system permission to move the files even though I am an administrator on the machine. There is no way to "uninstall" the package as it is not listed in installed updates since it was never really installed.

 

Event Log error:

 

 

Windows update "Update for Windows (KB958830)" could not be installed because of error 2148204800 "No signature was present in the subject." (Command line: ""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\Users\ann d lutter\Desktop\x86fre_GRMRSAT_MSU.msu" ")

I am working on a VM session but don't understand why that would be a problem?

 

I would like to be able to work with the "new and improved" group policy options that are not available in the XP utility and also to begin to learn W7.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance
