Re Pre Repairs Scan in version 3

<< < (3/6) > >>

Willy2:
- Did you have only ONE failed Update ? The error log suggests that more than one update failed !
- Did you run Windows Repair (Incl. "Repair Windows Update") after you noticed an Update failed ? If so, then do the following:
- Manually run Windows Update (follow the instructions) again. Do the updates MS recommends have the same names (KB ............ ) as the failed updates (see error log) ? If so then you can try to copy the missing files to the proper folder(s). Use a program called "Everything" (voidtools) to find those files.

Shane:
110 missing files from the packages folder. I am working on getting those files for you to put back.

The program knows the files are missing because they are listed in the registry, this is how updates know to look for those files.

So give me a bit, and I will get the files for you to restore :-)

Shane

Shane:
All done, that took me a while to find all those updates and grab the files. I think I will start saving these in case I need them in the furutre :-)

Extract all the files, then copy and paste them to
C:\Windows\servicing\Packages

If you get a permission denied error, then let me know, you will have to take ownership of that folder and I have an easy right click menu option to do that, and I will post that if you need it.

Once you replaced all the files, reboot and run the scan again and see if it is all good :-)

elw:
Shane. Have extracted the zip files you sent (thanks) but yes they do require permission to copy them.  Would appreciate you posting the right click menu option.

Willy2. Will wait to see if downloading the package files that Shane has sent me will solve the problem before I try your options.  Will also download and look at the Everything program you have suggested. Re number of failed updates I have only ever had the one so I don't understand why I should have 110 missing package files?  Have tried the Windows repair tool in the past, also SFCScannow and the DISM on line tools none of which did any good or repaired the missing or corrupt files.

A question to both of you.  What is the effect of missing so many package files as my computer still works OK?

And once agin many thanks for your efforts.

Shane:
Here you go, just run this reg file, then go to C:\Windows\servicing, then right click on Packages and you should see a take ownership command, click it, once it is done you should be able to paste those files in :wink:
