Sometimes a system might give an error message "Please wait while Windows Configures..." naming an installation like some or all of the following:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable":
"Error 1706":
The actual installation name or update can vary from case to case but the symptom is basically the same.
Cause
The Windows Operating System has a File Protection feature as part of the standard Windows Installer technology has a feature to check all installed DLLs and files are correct. At certain times, Windows decides to re-check for any corrupted or missing files and if it finds any, tries to re-run the installation in "Repair" mode to recover the correct installation.These error messages are a result of this system finding corruption in the installation, and attempting to re-run the installation in repair mode. Most likely that the installation files are no longer present or were only a temporary download.
Solution
To resolve this problem you need to return the OS and installed files to a good state.
