[SOLVED] msdtc.log stubborn error after december updates w8.1

[er557]

Hi, I registered here to try and resolve my sfc issue; tried some sfcfix and retrieved the cbs details file to show the errors;
attached are the sfc details file -recent scan being @12:30; and sfcfix search for those files;
I should add that I already tried the addreg method mentioned somewhere in a thread here to try to resolve a cannot decompress error- which worked in a previous case but not now(msdtc from the registry fix thread "avast and sfc issues..."
Thanks in advance for any help ;(dism online completes with success)

Hello Erik and welcome to the forum.

Before we can get started on repairing this issue we require some more information.

It will take about 15 minutes to process. Once the scan has completed a notepad file will launch with the results. Please copy and paste the entire contents of the results and post them back into this thread. Please put [CODE][/CODE] tags around the log to break up the text.

Hi Alex and thanks for quick response; In the meantime I managed to fix the issue by following similar posts and adjusting the name of the folder in the sfcfix.zip with my specific msdtc.log location hence replacing them; after which I fixed the registry keys same way with copy paste my specific key; ran sfc; dism; all clean; no issues. So it is resolved and thank you very much for the forum. I do have another issue following the latest updates to OS whereby neither creative control panel sound blaster z nor razer synapse would load or work; any version;
should I create another thread for that?

Ah that's good news, did you find some of my other thread's where we repaired this? This was a rather tricky issue which we didn't have a clue how to solve for a while.

I do have another issue following the latest updates to OS whereby neither creative control panel sound blaster z nor razer synapse would load or work; any version;
should I create another thread for that?

Is SFC still reporting any more issue?

Indeed I have found similar threads with slightly different errors such as unable to decompress or other location of msdtc.log, but I adjusted the fixes to my system;
Also no, no errors, sfc was squicky clean as well as dism; the utilities dont load due to some change brought about by the updates or net framework 4.0 which they are based on.
When I run SFC /VERIFYONLY the only entries found relate to windows mail in program files x86 which I always have it patched to enable it working(legacy windows vista windows mail); it is for my useage and I hardly think it is related to anything else or brakes anything

It would be best to create a new thread in the Windows 8 forum :)
