Author Topic: Missing Windows Packages Files (Read 8513 times)

Just cannot install Windows 10 Pro x86 Cumulative Update KB3081444 (184.30 MB; 2015/08/18)/Error 0x80246010.
Have tried various alternative methods such as Clean Boot; Dism.exe with the downloaded .cab file; &c.
Have just run the latest Windows Repair (All in One) v3.4.2 (for which many thanks, but moreso lately your Registry Backup)
& got the following attached .pdf re four missing Windows Packages Files.
Would this have anything to do with the problem?
I notice that they all have the same numbers.
I wouldn't have the foggiest about installing the two .cat & the two .mum files.
Any help at all much appreciated.

My program lets you save the list as a txt file and you can even select it and copy it, can you post it as a text file for me, that way I can just copy the text properly and find the files. Those are long to type out lol

Thanks, Shane.
Trust that this is the correct file.

First grab the zip file off this page and apply the reg file it in to add the take owner ship to the right click menu in explorer.
http://www.tweaking.com/articles/pages/add_quottake_ownershipquot_to_right_click_menu_in_vista_amp_7,1.html

Once that is done go to C:\Windows\servicing\ and right click on Packages and click on take ownership. You will now be able to copy the files into that folder.

I have attached the missing files, extract the files out of the attached zip file and put them in the C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\ folder.

Then run my pre-scan again, put a check on the box to have it add the cat files back to the database.

Thanks, Shane.
Just a quick, maybe dumb query:
The reg tweak (Add "Take Ownership" to right click menu in Vista & 7) is also OK for Windows 10 Pro x32?

Thanks again, Shane & Julian.
Funny after taking Ownership of Packages & copying the Cat_Mum_Files into it, they were already there.
But then I'd just done a successful dism.exe /online /cleanup-image &c pointing to a mounted newer larger Win 10 .iso (2.84 GB) that I'd just got.
The penny should've dropped.
I'd been trying, unsuccessfully, for the better part of a week, to get dism to run off the original smaller Win 10 .iso (2.41 GB) that I used for the install.
