[SOLVED] Pre-Repairs Scan Help
« on: March 19, 2015, 10:37:08 am »
UPDATE: Issue solved, see reply #33.

--x--x--

Hello, I have run a Pre-Repairs Scan, and these are my results. How do I go about fixing these? I have tried searching the internet but it didn't seem to help much.

I have trouble running windows update (I get updates failed to install error), and hopefully if these were fixed I can use it again.

No problem :-)

Ok first you will need to apply the take onwership reg file I attached, this will add a option to the right click menu to take ownership of a folder or file.

Then grab the Win_7_Packages_Files I attached, extract all the files, then selecte them all and choose copy.

Now go to C:\Windows\servicing and then right click on Packages and click on take ownership. Then once that is done go into the packages folder, so
C:\Windows\servicing\Packages

Then paste the files you copied into there.

On the reparse points, I made Windows Repair v3.1.0 last night and it is in testing till monday, so it is a beta right now. But I built a new repair tool to fix the reparse points.

So if you want grab the beta here (Or just wait till I release it on monday)
http://tweaking.com/files/setups/tweaking.com_windows_repair_aio_setup_beta.exe

Then when you run it you will see a new button with the pre repairs scan, and it is the Repair Reparse Points tool, it should fixes those for you. If you use it let me know the results :-)

After you do both those things make sure to reboot the computer and then go try windows updates again :wink:

Thanks for the reply Shane. I've tried your solution, but I couldn't get rid of the windows update issue. Here's the Pre-Repairs scan that I took after.

Ok you can ignore these for now
This File Is Corrupt (Bad Digital Signature):

I have found that when I put back the missing files the windows api doesnt know to look at the cat file that is with it to pull the signature info, I need to find out where it stores that info so I can have it add it as well :-)

Now that the files are replaced run the windows repair and h ave it run all the repairs and then see how windows updates do :-)

Have you tried SFC /scannow and reboot?

then download the latest update package for your operating system?

then try again...

I've ran SFC and CHDSK (both options for disk check included), they find no errors, and windows updates still fails. I get code 8E5E03FB every time I try to run it.

How many updates are failing to install? Do any new ones install at all or do all of them fail or is it just a certain update that fails?

Post a screen shot of the error message for me if you would :-)

I tried to do it once, but failed. I will try to do it again asap, and will inform you of the results.

EDIT: Just tried it again, and it still failed, with the same errors.

I was able to replace the files, but the windows update failed on both occasions.

- When I look at the "problem files" then I see that these are not for the one or the other update but it seems that these files are needed by (the) Windows Update (Agent) itself.

- Perhaps the appropriate files are stored in a "C:\Windows\Winsxs\" subfolder ?

(Use the program "Everything" (voidtools) to find out where the missing files are located)

When i research that error it normally points to something deep broken, so deep that windows updates calls it a unknown error.

Can you grab the cbs.log file so I can see if it gives any info of what might be wrong?

Willy2 - I did the search with Everything, and they are all on "C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\"

Shane - I have several cbs.log files, and they are all greater than 90 MB...

- Odd. I would have thought those missing files were in the mysterious "C:\Windows\Winsxs\" subfolders as well. After all, Windows archives A LOT OF files over there.

Open a cmd.exe window as administrator and put this in

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

It should output only the errors to a sfcdetails.txt file, then you can zip and attach that instead as it should be a lot smaller :wink:

I either get FINDSTR: Cannot open [SR], or FINDSTR: argument missing after /c. The latter was fixed by renaming it to c:/.

35,000 files I have gotten together :-)

The cat and mum files from vista, 7 and 8 all x32 and x64 bit. It isnt all of them out there but it is a good start.

I have them uploaded to a server and I will start making the tool soon that will download and put the files back :-)

Going to take a bit, but so far so good.

* I would; Delete those files...

Then Go to MSFT to download the latest update package.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20
Install that package. Run it from the administrator account... not as ADM, but the administrator account. please delete those files first!


* second choice; download your version for your system...

You cant just delete those files. They are also listed in the registry and when an update goes to read those files and they are corrupt OR missing then that update will simply fail out.

Even more great news.

I upgraded to the latest version of Tweaking, and ran a pre-repair scan test. I got more errors than last time. I tried to fix them using the sfc /scannow command, and it says that all of them couldn't be fixed. I have attached the scan log.

What to do now?

Do you have the original install disk; sounds like its time to do a repair install!!!!!

it sounds like a better option in your case...

do you need a original install disk?
