Problems Installing Windows Security Updates - Windows 7 Ultimate
NST_Rogers:
Shane - Thank you for your reply and the copies of the .cat and .mum files.
Kindly give me precise instructions for taking ownership of the c:\windows\servicing\packages\ folder. I want to be sure precisely what you mean by establishing ownership for this exercise.
Where else might I have obtained copies of the corrupted .cat and .mum file?
What might have corrupted these .cat and .mum files?
I do believe that there may have been MalWare on the computer in question, even though it appears to be clean now N.B. It is protected by Norton Internet Security.
I do post on Windows BBS and will be letting its' management know that I am posting on your BBS as well. It was Evan Omo of Windows BBS who put me on to Tweaking.Com. This appears to be a very useful bit of software, by the way.
Best Wishes

P.S. I assume that I unzip the Cat_Mum_Files.zip file to the c:\windows\servicing\packages\ folder after I have taken ownership of it.

Best if you remove your e-mail address from the open forum as you never know what sort of whackos will drop in and may even try to hack or spam it.

Here you go
http://www.tweaking.com/articles/pages/add_quottake_ownershipquot_to_right_click_menu_in_vista_amp_7,1.html
Download the Take_Ownership.zip file and then apply the reg file inside of it. This will add a take ownership menu item to the right click menu. Go to the c:\windows\servicing\packages folder and right click on it and click take ownership, that will do the trick and to all the files inside. Then you can extract the zip file with the cat and mum files and put them in there.
Then get the new version of my windows repair, run the pre-scan again but before you do put a check on the box to have it add the cat files back.
Then once done see how the Windows updates do. The pres scan should still show the bad update as being corrupt, but all the others should be clear, then we can see how Windows updates likes it :-)
