Cause of Error 1 in the CBS logs section

This issue occurs when the conversion requires files to be downloaded for updates that are bundled as a part of a single updateID.

Local testing shows that presence of the following updates on the Core server will cause the conversion to fail with the DPX Extraction 0x80070002 errors:

  • 3000850
  • 3003057
  • 3014442
  • 2919355
  • 2959977

Note

To see sample values for updateID, open the wuindex.xml file under the %windir%servicingpackages path, and search for the updateID string.

Cause of Error 2 in the CBS logs section

The cause is the entry <Map Package='package_for_kb2959977~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.1'/> is missed under updateID 8452bac0-bf53-4fbd-915d-499de08c338b, inside the file %windir%servicingpackageswuindex.xml.
