I just wanted to thank @IRC 129 for the solution that has evaded me for over a week. I had been trying to update my Surface Pro i7 (new model) from 1703 to 1709 and got the dreaded hardware fail error, despite disconnecting everything and trying several times.
I went into Windows Features and turned off 'IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility' and tried again. This time it worked.
What a bizarre compatibility issue, not helped by the error message generated!
