valenti · Nov 25, 2015

Hello, there! I have the same problems after migrating to an nvme drive. :huh: SFC shows corrupted files that cannot be repaired and DISM shows error 193 (not even run). :banghead::banghead::banghead: Here are my logs. View attachment Logs.zip
I would be grateful if you can help me.

SFC /scannow: did not find any integrity violations...
It seems repaired.

Let's see what DISM returns :)

DISM - Fixing Component Store Corruption
Follow the instructions below to run a DISM operation on your system.

On Windows 8, drag your cursor in the bottom-left corner, and right-click on the metro menu preview, then select Command Prompt (Admin);
On Windows 8.1, right click on the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner and select Command Prompt (Admin);
Enter the command below and press on Enter;
Code:
```
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
```
Let the scan run until the end (100%). Depending on your system, it can take some time;
Copy the C:\Windows\Logs\DISM folder and C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log file on your Desktop, then right-click on it, go to Send to... and select Compressed .zip archive;
Upload the file on Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive and post the download URL for it here;

Note: Please note that the CBS.log is volatile, which means that if you don't upload it after the DISM scan is completed, it won't contains the information from the scan anymore. So archive it and upload it as soon as you can.

that was the outcome...

Aura · Dec 1, 2015

From what I can see, DISM completed it's scan successfully and no error was returned. Did it throw an error code 193 this time?

valenti · Dec 1, 2015

Well at first yes (error 193). I checked dism log; and it seems that the custom temporary folder i had defined, for some reason, couldn't be accessed by dism.exe... (I had given it the same permissions as the default temp folder, but...)
Then, when I reset it to default direction, it run without any problems or error. So, now I triggered it back to my custom location (my windows drive is SSD, and i like to be reserved from unnecessary writes).

Aura · Dec 1, 2015

Which means that C:\Users\$USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp isn't your temp folder? If you set it elsewhere, DISM fails to run, but if you set it to the default location, it works?

valenti · Dec 1, 2015

Exactly...

Aura · Dec 1, 2015

It could be a limitation of DISM. It's the first time I've heard of that to be honest. I guess I could try it in a VM and see what happens. You modified your %temp% variable, or did you redirect the Temp folder elsewhere?

valenti · Dec 4, 2015

I made a change in environment variables. Both user temporaries: TEMP and TMP were relocated into another drive.

Aura · Dec 4, 2015

I don't have that kind of setup in a VM sadly (like a second drive). I could always try with a second partition on the same drive and see what it gives.

valenti · Dec 4, 2015

As you like! :)
For me, the problem seems solved :thumbsup2: :smile9::rofl12::smile9:

Aura · Dec 4, 2015

Then we'll leave it at this

Marking this thread as solved now :)
