Thanks for that. Which of these files would be the relevant W7 SP1 package for the PC (W7 64-bit Celeron processor) ?

I'd guess 9. But what are 4 & 5 & 8?

Would downloading the .iso and putting it on a DVD be better?

8 is the IA64 acrchitecture which I think was an Intel early attempt at 64 bit before they licensed the AMD64 code

The symbols.msi files are something to do with debugging

At the bottom of this page the different downloads are detailed. IA64 is the Itanium processor, totally different from the X86 series, and those downloads are only for Server 2008. You have identified the correct one.

You don't need the ISO as it contains files that you don't need. Save the downloaded .exe somewhere in case you need it more than once.

Went through your steps and at step f), install from the download, it failed again.

By then I come across a reference to the Windows Update Troubleshooter in Control Panel. So I ran this, It found a couple of things, to do with the default folders, it corrected these. I then re-ran the update - from the download.

It worked!

So I am now going through installing the post-SP1 updates.

When it's all finished I'll run some full AV scans before returning the laptop, hopefully to a happy family.

Thanks to all for all the help.
