I'm stuck trying to upgrade from PS 2 to PS 5.1.

I've been advised to download the WMF 5.1 to do this.

I've run the pre-req script without issue. When the installer then runs, I get error code 0x80240037 (hardware not supported). I have colleagues here with the same hardware who have been able to install PS 5.1 without issue.

I'm on .NET 4.6.2. I have 4.5.2 already installed. WMF 3.0 isn't installed.

x64 bit Windows 7 Pro

Anyone know where I can see more logging information about the failure?

Thanks in advance

  • 0x80240037 = WU_E_NOT_SUPPORTED (The functionality for the operation is not supported.) look inside the CBS.log from C:\windows\logs\CBS\ to see which operation failed.

  • Hi magicandre1981, Thanks for your response - much appreciated. Here is a link to the logs generated when I try and run the installer. drive.google.com/open?id=1K1uIJ4Zi7z8Cmria-ntOLY1b6Q-NhUxK Would you mind taking a look and letting me know what you think? Cheers.

  • the log doesn't include anything with error. Delete all files from the CBS folder, try to install powershell and share the new log

  • Hi again. Cleared down the log file and ran WMF5.1 installer again. The results are the same as before. Seems to be failing when asking for applicability of an update - drive.google.com/open?id=1Et5Jjr-P8Fi0FNEP_pLFN71V12ZIInOy

Reset to default

What I did in the end was this;

  • open .msu installer via 7-zip - extracted the cabs to another directory
  • opened a command prompt in said directory

  • run dism command against each cab;

    DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:Windows6.1-KB3191566-x64.cab

There's a text file in the installer dictating the order in which they should be installed. The third cab wouldn't install. The rest did. I was asked to restart after the final cab installed. Rebooted and PS5.1

If your CPU is 7. or 8. gen. Intel or Ryzen (AMD), the Microsoft blocks Windows 7/8.1 updates from 04.2017. In this case, the powershell (WMF5.1, 4, 3) installers didn't run, the solution is wufuc (https://github.com/zeffy/wufuc).

    This answer is applicable to the author's situation. There is an existing question that already suggests this particular program.
