How do I replace corrupt files?
« on: October 12, 2015, 11:13:05 am »
The Windows Repair pre-scan comes up with the following errors:

weaking.com - Windows Repair v3.2.4 - Pre-Scan
Computer: PETE-PC (Windows 7 Home Premium 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1) (32-bit)
Started at (12/10/2015 18:38:39)

Scanning Windows Packages Files.
Started at (12/10/2015 18:38:39)

These Files Are Possibly Corrupt (Bad Digital Signature): (Total: 2)
C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Package_2_for_KB2876331~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.1.1.mum
C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB2876331_SP1~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.1.1.mum

Problems were found with the packages files, these files need to be replaced (These mainly only effect installing Windows Updates.)
The SFC (System File Checker) doesn't scan and replace some of these files, so you may need to replace them manually.
These files do not keep the repairs from working, you may still run the repairs in the program.

I have run the SFC and done the pre-scan again and the same two files are showing errors.
How do I locate good copies of the bad files to replace them?

Any help appreciated.

I found the files for you and uploaded them here is a quote from  one of Shane's previous posts on another thread about the steps to take to apply these files.


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. :wink:

Installed the files and ran the pre-scan again. No errors found. Brilliant!

Thanks for the help.
