I am unable to run adobe photoshop because I get system error message "The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll is missing from your computer..." I have tried running sfc /scannow, chkdsk, DISM, and sfcfix with no luck. Tried fixing by downloading Windows6.1-KB3005607-x86.msu and placing in Windows\CheckSure\packages directory based on DISM log files.

Step 2:
The issue you started this thread with can be related to a recent update of Adobe software. Did you install updates for any Adobe software recently ?
Summary:
Seconds executed: 445
Found 16 errors
CSI Unexpected Failure Total count: 8
CSI Missing Winning Component Key Total count: 8
Step 2
I didn't update adobe that I'm aware of before the problem started happening. The updates are not automatic. I did uninstall/install adobe after the problem to try fixing it with no luck.
Step 3
I have had troubles using wbem in the past. When I entered "wmic path Win32_BIOS get SerialNumber /VALUE" it just returned "ERROR: Description = Generic failure".
After the fixes you did, it states "wmic - Alias not found."
Guessing this is not related to Step 2, but figured it might be helpful.
Step 3 -
I have had troubles using wbem in the past. When I entered "wmic path Win32_BIOS get SerialNumber /VALUE" it just returned "ERROR: Description = Generic failure".
Nothing different from after fixes above. I just forgot a step. Get the same "ERROR...Generic failure"
Provide the Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop. Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again. Note: If you find that you need to reboot and are unable to because this is a server then try Option#2 below.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to Filedropper or SendSpace and just provide the link here. Option#2 (only if you are unable to follow the previous instructions)
Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, one of which is named COMPONENTS.
Copy the COMPONENTS file to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
Now right-click on the COMPONENTS file that is on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
Then please upload the zip file (COMPONENTS.zip) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Filedropper or One Drive or SendSpace and then just provide the link in your reply.
You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBak program now.
Finally found information on how to fix the api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll issue. There was an update to an adobe sub-program (Camera Raw) that caused the problem in win7. You can't uninstall the sub-program very easily. However, you can install an older version of the sub-program. Fixed the issue as soon as I installed older version of the sub-program. Then turn-off the auto update so it doesn't update the sub-program. Updating to win10 also fixes issue according to the forum I found.
I am still unable to run sfc /scannow without it stopping at 60% and would like your help in fixing that issue. Do you know if the issue with wmic is related?
