Missing Windows Servicing Packages files & update problems
Tone111:
Hmm, strange - I just ran the bcdedit command again exactly the same as before and this time it worked and returned the OS as D:\, which confirms what diskpart has already told us. Not sure what happened there - it didn't give an error or anything, just went back to the blank command prompt, odd.... :confused: anyway it's worked now.
Okay well I'm happy to wait and see if Shane comes back with anything, or to go ahead with the repair install if he has nothing with his registry and file tweaks - at least I have a working machine which does most of the things it should, so I'll live with that and see what Shane has to say next.
Thanks again for your input and generous sending of disks - much appreciated, and I have a feeling I may be needing them soon! :thinking: but even if not I'm sure they'll be handy to have at some point.
Boggin:
Yes, it's always handy to have an install disk.
Did that sfc /scannow complete with the different partition letters ?
It beats me where Shane finds all of the time to do the in depth digging around in the system files, but I guess as he's already dug a big hole into them to produce WR, he only has to open a few new seams.
Tone111:
Yes, I've run it several times now using C:, D: and F: as the offbootdir but always D:\windows as the offwindir - every time it says it says it found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them, so I'm not sure if it's had any effect or not as the message is always the same, however something may have been fixed in the background - is there a way to check, CBS.log or whatever?
Whatever the outcome the WU still isn't working, same old message as ever, so maybe Shane can open one of his seams and discover something that will finally fix this, else the install disks will be put to good use! :smiley:
Shane:
I say do the repair install, it should get you back up and going and still have all your files and programs. :wink:

Hmm, ooookay, if that's what you recommend I'll give it a shot :rolleyes:
Any idea how long it takes, and whether there's anything I need to be aware of before I go ahead? I'm guessing maybe a full backup's advisable, just in case? If not then so much the better - I'm not the only one with data on the machine and for us both to do the huge, long overdue backups necessary will take a while, but if needs be...
I was also thinking of doing another Windows All in One Repair in safe mode before the repair install - would this be worth a try and if so which options should I select? I normally do several, but maybe I'm missing some...
