corrupt and missing files in \Windows\servicing\Packages (CLOSED)

(1/3) > >>

StephanP:
The computer of my father-in-law has trouble with installing Windows Updates.
Investigating the issue I noticed that he had a series of corrupted files on his HD.
After having run chckdsk, Tweaking.com.WindowsRepair reports that there are corrupt and missing files in the \Windows\servicing\Packages folder structure. (See attachment)

I downloaded a Windows 8.1 Pro (32bit) ISO from Microsoft, but I can't seem to find these folders on it.
Any ideas as to where to get copies of these problematic files?

Cheers,
Stephan

Shane:
I can get them for you :-)

I have been building a large repository of all these files so I have them on hand and to use in a future repair. So far I have over 35,000+ files lol

Mondays are my busiest day and I have to head out the door to a customers. Send me a reminder tomorrow morning and I will grab and post the files here for you :wink:

Shane

StephanP:
Thanks Shane,
That would be very nice of you.
I noticed that there are quite a few *nl_NL* (Dutch language) files in the list.
No probs getting hold of these?
I hope you have some scripted method of collecting the files from your repository, as these file names are quite horrific.
I look froward to hearing from you tomorrow or some time later this week.
Cheers,
Stephan

Shane:
Well I got them all, except the NL files, mainly because my version of windows is english, so they are all en_us. Those files are on the install disk itself, so I would need to find a copy of your version of Windows to get the nl files off of it.

I have attached the other files I was able to get for you, you will need to extract them and put them in C:\Windows\servicing\Packages

Shane

StephanP:
Thanks for the files, Shane.
But upon copying the files in the \windows\servicing\Packages folder I receive the error message that I'm not allowed to do that.
(Also when logged in as an Administrator)
Is there a way to bypass this?
