windows updates problem After doing a repair install
Boggin:
It's possible that this missing file is a trait of the trial period as you wouldn't necessarily require updates for that period, but check after the clean install if it is still missing and then see if you are able to extract it from your install disk. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/42776-extract-files-windows-7-installation-dvd.html
I tried this once to replace a file that I allowed Combofix to delete that it shouldn't have snagged in the first place, but I came unstuck on the last steps of taking ownership of the file and Permissions - you may have better luck - hopefully.
If that doesn't work then an offboot sfc /scannow may replace it, but I'm not sure where this file is found as when run from the Run box on my Win 7 it says it cannot find the file.
From what I've read, it's supposed to open Windows Update.
I'll post this and see if I can find the file in Safe Mode.
To run the offboot sfc /scannow, boot up with the install disk and when you get to the install screen - select Repair your Computer then navigate to the Recovery Environment and select Command Prompt.
Enter bcdedit |find "osdevice" and using whichever partition letter it gives, enter (assuming C) -
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows and see what that reports but I've recently run that command on this laptop and it didn't find anything wrong.
