CBS log file
Shane:
I have been working with another user who had the option features from windows add/remove programs come up with a blank list. I found that it would loop through "C:\windows\Servicing\Packages\" and if it had an error at all it would stop and the list wouldn't load.
So I made a tool to loop through and check for any missing files. None where found, so when I checked the log I found that one of the files in that folder was corrupt. It had all empty data. So when I replaced the file with a good one from my machine the option features list finally worked :-0
So I am writing a tool that will check that folder and check that the files are signed and dont have empty data. I dont have it ready yet, but the reason I tell you this is looking at the log file you posted you do have files missing and or corrupt in the C:\windows\Servicing\Packages\ folder. So once I have this tool done I will have you use it and see what it reports :-)

OK here is a test exe I just built, this is for testing only, so please dont anyone keep this as a tool in your toolbox. I will be working on a full version of it and most likely add the tool in the windows repair.
Extract the zip file and make sure to run the file as administrator. This tool will scan through the folder and look for any missing files (It knows what files to look for based on what is stored in the registry) and it will also check each .cat file has a digital cert.
If it finds anything at all just post a screen shot of the program results (No save feature yet) :wink:

Shane; I always found the only way to fix the CBS log is to rebuild/repair it.
I would only suggest this method rather than try to fish each problem out...

Hi, Shane,
Thanks for the attempt. Is this tool for sfc scannow. I do find lot of entries that could not be deciphered that much easily, whether there is any need of repair or not. Some member file could not be reparied and all that, but at the last line, there is a misleading that all the errors are successfully repaired.
Can i check with my cbs.log with this tool. I need your permission to do the same, as it is test exe
Shane:
This tool isnt for the cbs logs exactly, it doesnt even touch the log. It is a tool I am making because I found the source of a lot of problems related to the option features list being blank, updates not installing and sometimes sfc errors all trace back to this folder and if any of the files are corrupt or missing.
So I am making a tool to simply help report if it finds anything wrong in that folder is all. This is a new tool I am making and it is still a work in progress :-)
But right now, the cbs log did show files missing from that folder, so I want to see if my tool reports anything. :wink:
