Internet Explorer 11 Rollback after reboot when updating prerequisite KB2670838 on a windows 2008 R2 server and CBS log entry with 0xc0000022 access denied error

  • Artigo

In this quick post, we are sharing a scenario you may encounter and how you could fix it.

When installing Internet Explorer 11 on the Windows 2008 R2 Master image build that is normally used for their Citrix Farm, the installation rolls-back after a reboot.

The same behavior was observed when the prerequisite KB2670838 was installed. After a reboot, this was also triggering the roll-back behavior.

The CBS.LOG gave us more information about the failure which indicated an access denied was occurring during the update.

The error code: 0xc0000022 can easily be identify in the below cbs [%windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log] log sample; Suggesting several attempts by the SPP Installer service[sppsvc ] failing with the access denied:

The actions to help resolved this particular scenario is to: 

  • Make sure the Software Protection Platform service (sppsvc) is started and is not encountering any problems.
  • Check the permissions and attributes on files 7B296FB0* in C:\Windows\System32 directory.

Default permissions: SYSTEM:F,Admnistrators:F and Users: (read and execute)

Attributes: No read only” (uncheck read-only)
