Hi,
Sorry if this thread is the wrong place, but my problem is that I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM that has been working fine for about 6 months and in the past 6 weeks or so, after applying an update from Microsoft it is stuck in an endless reboot loop. The VM will load and Windows begins loading and pops up with Windows Module Installer and then after around 2 seconds goes to the next screen of Preparing to configure Windows, then it crashes and reboots and will keep doing this over and over again.
I have tried googling this and the only answers I can get is tapping f8 at the beginning and going through the repair your computer option and eventually loading the command prompt and removing pending.xml from c:\windows\winsxs, but this hasnt solved anything. Does anyone have ideas as I'm pulling my hair out over this!
If anyone knows how to stop the windows module installer from running in the first place then I could copy all the data from it and create a new VM.
Thanks
