SharePoint 2010, hotfix install fail "An error occurred while running detection"

I am having a lot of trouble installing hotfix 2849990 on my SharePoint Foundation 2010 server. After running it shows the error "An error occurred while running detection". I tried another hotfix as well but got the same result. I read on the web to do a "repair" but I cannot seem to access that. I attempting to run the install to get there, I click "Install SharePoint Foundation" a new window begins and I can see a new window open that reads "Please wait while setup prepares the necessarily files" Very shortly after this opens, it then closes and nothing else happens.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Solution

  • run configuration wizard

    if that doesnt help, try to run the repair of the sharepoint setup using command line
