Several Very Frustrating Vista Problems. Are there Any Tools still available ?
Boggin:
That's very generous of you - I have a Vista SP2 x64 bit ISO I can burn him a couple of disks from if he needs any.
However, until the pending is resolved, the offboot sfc won't run either.
The d: in the offboot sfc cmd that you have posted is dependent upon where Windows sees the OS.
When you boot up with an install disk, make a note of where it finds the OS to repair, but before running the cmd you can enter bcdedit |find "osdevice" and you use whichever letter it gives for the partition.
Rick:
yes ， but he can run a system repair hat will cleanup his system...
maybe a better solution for him?
Hey, whats that paypal object poping up now?
Rick:

Boggin:
As you will have seen from your last link, when there's a pending repair, the offboot sfc /scannow cannot execute as I've already said.
Please read fully any links before posting as this could lead to confusion.
Wait until VacationDreamer has a chance to try out my last suggestions which have been proven to work and to post back before throwing others into the mix.
VacationDreamer:
Boggin sorry for the delay. Guess this not my computer year. My wife was using another daughters Toshiba laptop Windows10 upgrade and had it shut off on her. It will need to go to a repair shop. The laptop over heated. She leaves it on for days. and both the fans on the cooling station and in the laptop now not run. Shuts down after about 5-7 minutes.
Back to this problem.
--- Quote ---Boot up into the advanced boot options and navigate to the Recovery Environment and select Command Prompt then enter these commands -
c:
fsutil resource setautoreset true %systemdrive%
Enter exit to close the cmd window then Restart and retry a sfc /scannow
--- End quote ---
C: did not work, found that C:\Windows\System32 worked but same problem with SFC.
--- Quote ---If you still get the error, create a restore point as the next steps involve making changes to the registry, then go back into the Recovery Environment/Command Prompt and enter -
c:
cd C:\windows\winsxs
ren pending.xml pending.old
(While you couldn't find this file, let us know if this command completes okay or if you get any error messages).

That command worked with no error but still SFC did not work
This is where I got confused ! Ran this is Safe Mode elevated prompt for regedit and to open the folders.
--- Quote ---regedit
Highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - click on File - Load Hive
When that opens browse to C:\windows\system32
Locate the following folder - C:\windows\system32\config\components and click on to select.
When you are prompted for a name, type offline_components
You will now see the key offline_components - expand the + then locate and delete the following subkeys -
HKLM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallerNeedResolving
HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

When I click on the file components I am not prompted to name it. A left click tells me the file is not associated with it for a performing action and to create an association. A right click gives me the standard commands the rename sounds the near to what you want. But the prompted for a name is why I am sure I did something wrong ?
The reason I hesitate is System Restore is another feature that does not work.
For some reason deleted all the net framework installations and found that updates worked and no error cannot find updates. After all the net framework files updated I now had the update problems again.
Also deleted the 2 Sql server files (not sure why server files were needed) neither updated like the net framework files did.
Did not see any new problems ?
Use Secunia to check for needed updates and had problems with updating these.
Also Microsoft XML Core Services which shows now MSXML 4.x The new file shows 6.0 Tried but did not update
Not sure if this is important.
Secunia used to work well for me updating files but for the last year I have had problems either in updating or not showing what to do when a program is no longer supported.
Sorry for getting off track. 1st getting SFC working.
Although I think I will be sending this to my son for a reinstall. Wish an update to Windows 7 was more reasonable. For the price save and just buy a new laptop with 10 but that will be a while.
Thank you for your time and patience.
