Since I did a Langa's Non-Destructive Upgrade of my Win 7 64 Ultimate sp1, my Gpedit.msc comes up with "62 & 51 String errors" when loading, and neither chkdsk/f, sfc /scannow (offline as well), sfcfix.exe, downloading and replacing my inetres.admx file for my corresponding ie 9 with a downloaded fresh one, or copied from the Macrium image I saved before doing the upgrade, have helped.


View attachment CBS.log (3-1-16).txt.zipThe templates that have given me the most trouble, are the Office 2010 ones, (Word, & Outlook),of which I should be using the adm. files.

I'm clueless and out of options, but ironically, everything else is fine. Please see the attached CBS.log file, and if any helped can be offered here, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

P.S. I only use ie9 32 bit, but did not see if they are 32 and 64 bit inetres.admx files, that need to be replaced.
 
(SOLVED)

Running the command to re-register Office 2010 ("C:\Program files (x86)\microsoft Office\Office14\winword.exe"/r), and removing, then reinstalling the adm. templates, did the trick.
 
This issue has returned and this time, there's NO getting rid of the leftover piece to fix it- I'll go into details later but for now, it looks like I need to clear all of the uploaded attachments from past posts in order to upload the latest one, and cannot see how to do it-please advise.

Thanks.
 
It was re-installing the Cumulative Security Updates for IE9, IE9-Windows6.0-KB3124275-x64.msu, & IE9-Windows6.0-KB3104002-x64.msu that have re-created the issue, but THIS TIME with leftover pieces I can't get rid of with either Disk Cleanup with the Windows Update Option, or trying to pinpoint the pieces to remove manually.

But why wouldn't I or anyone else NOT download what are officially recommended updates for their Windows installs that are for their PCs security's sake??

Since I only use the 32 bit version of IE 9 on my Win/7 64 Ult. machine, I'm unsure if installing 64 bit updates could be the issue, though they are the only ones allowed to be installed; but from what I've read, users are having conflict-issues with the mKB3124275 update "across-the-board" (why this affects the older KB3104002 update I am clueless). FYI, both were Installed automatically.

As before, this has prevented my Secpol settings from being determined for applying. I've also used Check Sur the update readiness tool, and a few of the Tweaking all-in-one repairs most specific to "update", ALL to NO avail


Until I can get help removing the upload files (many with question-marks) that are preventing me from uploading the CBS and SFC-fix logs, I'll try using Posh WSUS to determine the Guids for both updates, to input in the Fixit "InstallerUninstaller" so it can possibly find these corrupted pieces to remove, otherwise unless I report success, please be under the presumption that I NEED HELP.

Thanks.
 
Update: 3-21-16

It looks as though the corrupted KB3104002 component is acting as the full ie 9 browser ITSELF, but in trying to install the full ie9 Windows Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems it fails, with Error Code 9C48.

These are the further steps I've taken, but don't have enough know-how to dare go any further without assistance:


1. I installed KB3104002, then uninstalled it via updates, but the corrupted component remained:

2. I used "Fix IE Utility" to a reset;

3. Following some online tips, I used "Cab Maker 2.0" to create what is supposed to be a cab file of KB3104002, placed it into the CheckSur "Packages" folder along with the 3 packages of the corrupted pieces I found in the winsxs folder, then used the System Update Readiness tool to try repairing the specific issue it can't find on it's own. It came up with the "Mum" error for all, & I chose to stop right there with that, since it was getting too hairy for me;

4. I ran Scannow /SFC, & the latest CBS log (which is too huge for me to even attach!), no longer shows the "cannot repair.. inetres.admx.." line, but the corruption remains.

So I'm not going to keep try messing in things that I don't know of at THIS point that could make things even WORSE, work around the issue, & simply wait my turn in line.
 
Let's see what the System Update Readiness Tool finds.

System Update Readiness Tool (SURT)

Download and run the System Update Readiness Tool for your version of Windows here: System Update Readiness Tool

NOTE: If you aren't sure if your Windows installation is 32-bit or 64-bit, check here: How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system

This tool will take some time to complete - when it has finished, attach C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log with your reply.
 
Okay, here it is,

Sorry, but I couldn't 7zip or winzip as both were coming up as "invalid" upon uploading, I DO think my prior uploads ("cache"?) should be cleared or cleaned by admin.

I should note, that when I started running the tool, an "Interactive Services Detection" message popped up, but it vanished before I could click on it to see whatever it meant- but this has come-up at least 3 prior times over the past 3 days, a couple of times right after start-up, and seems to indicate that there are missing files or something that need to be installed, not sure.

Anyway, thanks much for getting back to me so soon, & I hope you can find a solution.

  1. Please download the attached file, Packs.zip and save this to your Desktop.
  2. Right-click on the file and select Extract All...
  3. Tick the box labelled Show extracted files when complete then click Extract
  4. A window will open showing the folder Packages

  7. When the SURT finishes installing, copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) the contents of the SURT log into your next post please:

    C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log

View attachment Packs.zip
 
Okay, attached are the results. By the way, when I tried my own System Readiness repair, I put the package in the Windows Checksur folder instead, was confused by their being 2 of these folders.

If it's fixed, & I can re-install the full version of IE9, would you suggest that I do standalone installs KB3124275-x64.msu, & IE9-Windows6.0-KB3104002-x64.msu afterwards in safe mode, or let them go?

Also, after this issue is fixed, I'd finally like to nip setting my virtual memory paging size in-the-bud once and for all for my pc, as there are too many mixed suggestions online- so if you could look at my attached text of stats as well & provide me with some feedback as well, I would be grateful-Thank you.

Early 3-22-16 Follow-up:

KB3104002 has been completely installed, the full version IE9 64 has been restored, & the Windows Update portion of Disk Cleanup is available again which it wasn't before, an issue I'd neglected to mention.

However, there is no trace of KB3124275, even with an offer to be installed via WSUS check (a good or bad thing?), my Events Viewer, another previous issue I forgot to mention, still has a snap-in error, though it can now reveal partial results; and the Secpol settings still cannot be recognized by the machine to be applied, which I should note. are only created local/non-domain with the adm templates.

Besides doing Disk Cleanup & creating a restore point after cleaning up all except the last one, I haven't tried to do anything else, & am on standby for further instructions. But thank you MUCH for what you've done so far, which would have otherwise had to be remedied by another repair-install, putting me right back to where I was before the Langa Non-destructive upgrade I did, which is clearly not 100% non-destructive, as Langa claims.

Adobe recommends using 3x the amount of physical memory for your maximum page file size, which would be 24GB in your case. You can choose a smaller initial size slightly larger than physical memory (like 8492) if you would like - but you may get better performance if you allocate the entire 24gb as the initial and maximum size - assuming you have the required disk free space of course.

Download and run KB3124275 to verify if it is already installed - let me know if this produces an error message.

For troubleshooting event viewer, please produce the error then follow these instructions to attach the events:

Event Log Collection

  • Download VEW by Vino Rosso here: VEW.EXE
  • Right click the file and select Run as administrator and click Continue or Allow at the User Account Control Prompt.
  • Click the check boxes next to Application and System located under Select log to query on the upper left.
  • Under Select type to list on the right click the boxes next to Error, Warning and Critical (not XP).
  • Under Number or date of events select Number of events and type 20 in the box next to 1 to 20 and click Run.
  • Once it finishes it will display a log file in notepad.
  • Copy and paste its entire contents into your next reply.
 
1. Thanks, I configured the Memory as per your advice.

2. For better or worse, I downloaded and re-installed KB3124275 x64, so well see what happens..

3. I've attached the VEW results.

4. the "Interactive Services Detection" message came-up again upon start-up, stating that it was in light of a program I'm using that is incompatible with my system, though no details as to which particular program it is.


5. As for Secpol, this is the message I'm still getting

"The Group Policy security settings that apply to this machine could not be determined.
The error returned when trying to retrieve these settings from the local security policy database (%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb) was: An extended error has occurred."

Neither of the below suggested solutions have worked, and in fact, some online sources have strongly advised not to run the command with win.7, as it is not only outdated, but could hurt your windows system even more, but I have seen NO other posted solutions:


1st Suggested fix:

Go to start > run > regedit
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Lsa > MSV1_0
Modify the following two records by changing its value into 0 (in the data value box)
NtlmMinServerSec
NtlmMinClientSe
Restart the server
Fixed!

2nd suggested fix:

It looks as though you have a permissions problem. try to reset the permissions by opening a command window (start menu>run>cmd , then click enter) and typing in the following

"secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"

It was suggested online that "Interactive Services Detection" is no longer used, which is the reason for those pop-ups, & that disabling it in Services.Msc takes care of that issue, so I did that. Otherwise, standing-by...
 
There is most likely a program configured to run as a service using a particular user account. The user account may not have permissions to log in as a service.

First, let's try to fix the secpol problems.

Make sure you know what your group policy settings are supposed to be, as this will reset them.

To verify and restore secedit.sdb

  1. Determine if secedit.sdb is corrupt by running esentutl /g %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb.
  2. If secedit.sdb is corrupt, attempt a soft recovery first by running esentutl /r edb in the %windir%\security directory.
  3. If soft recovery fails, attempt a repair with esentutl /p %windir%\security\Database\secedit.sdb and then delete the log files %windir%\security\*edb* and %windir%\security\*log.
  4. If the repair fails, delete %windir%\security\*edb*, %windir%\security\*log, and %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb and then restart the computer to rebuild secedit.sdb.
 
I should note, that the 2 times I tried to install the latest update for my Logitech cordless gaming mouse the G602, 2 things happened;


1. I am offered these 2 updates, though theyre already installed; Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243)Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538242);

2. Both my Office & Acrobat Pro Installations are corrupted, so I've been forced to use a restore point, anyway.

I also did a Chksdk /r in Recovery from my Win. 7 upgrade dvd created from files Microsoft let me keep when they repaired it last year, and it found NO problems- so I'm really getting concerned, here.

So I hope that these various issues all come down to just a couple of issues that Sysnative can help me with, short of my being forced to do a complete re-install, which can clearly present it's own set of new issues- I'm grateful that I at least, am using a replacement Seagate 3TB drive I got from Sweetwater late last year, for my Windows-Thanks.

Let's check if SFC finds any corruption.

SFC Scan

  1. Click on the Start
    Start%20Orb.jpg
    button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
  2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
  3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

    sfc /scannow

    Wait for this to finish before you continue

    copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt

  4. This will create a file, cbs.txt on your Desktop. Please zip and attach this to your next post.
