A while ago one of our machines threw an error 8E5E03FB while installing SP1 (KB976932) on Window 7 Home Premium.
This is what I used to recover from that (note that failed alone means it failed with the previous error code):
chkdsk %SystemDrive% /F
, rebooted, waited for any issues to get fixed (none were)sfc /scannow
%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
and found this entry:
CBS Failed call to CryptCATAdminAddCatalog. [HRESULT = 0x8e5e03fb - JET_errPageNotInitialized
0x80070057
.0x80070490
.Code B7
. This was in the CBS.Log: Store corruption detected in function CCSDirectTransaaction::ShouldKeepAliveFromInstallmap
on resource amd64_avast.vc140.crt_fcc99ee6193ebbca_14.0.24210.0_none_56aba0211ca246c2
.0x80070490
. This was in the CBS.Log: Failed to resolve package 'Package_2_for_KB2507938~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.4' [HRESULT = 0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND]
.SFC /SCANNOW
SFCFix

entry is still Failed to resolve package 'Package_2_for_KB2507938~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.4' [HRESULT = 0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND]

KB2507938
%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS:
%SystemRoot%\Logs\SFCFix
:%SystemRoot%\Logs\FRST64
:
So I asked this question: [WayBack] [Win7HomePremium] SP1 fails with 0x80070490 as KB2507938 is not fully present.
TL;DR: for English Windows 7 x64 you need [WayBack] https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/A/F/0AFB5316-3062-494A-AB78-7FB0D4461357/windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe
Note that the download file naming is very confusing as you will see only the above 6 files from the below list (which is English, but similar for other languages):

Almost all pages at the Embarcadero DocWiki have an embedded product version in the URL or get redirected to one.
One of the notable exceptions is the [WayBack] Platform Status:
The following table shows supported platforms and operating systems for different RAD Studio versions.
A
*
(star) sign next to an operating system indicates that there is a known issue with that operating system and a corresponding RAD Studio version.To see the workaround for that particular issue, click on the name of the operating system or scroll down to the appropriate section.
It got introduced in 2015 ([WayBack] New DocWiki RAD Studio, Delphi and C++Builder Platform Status Page – Community Blogs – Embarcadero Community) and is maintained at irregular intervals.
