Hi,

Upload your DRIVERS Hive

• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config and locate the DRIVERS file.
• 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.
• Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named DRIVERS.ZIP on your desktop.
• If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

Hi,

Replace Drivers Hive Manually

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

1. Download DRIVERS.ZIP and save to your desktop.
2. Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
3. Now we have the DRIVERS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
5. Right-click on the current DRIVERS file and select rename. Rename it to DRIVERS.bad.
   Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
6. Take the file from the Drivers folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config

Afterwards reboot the server and attempt to update. If it fails attach the latest CBS logs and the following logfile.

Upload the setupapi.dev.log file

• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\INF folder.
• Right-click on the file setupapi.dev.log and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
• Click on the Yes button here.

• Attach the file setupapi.dev.zip in your next reply.

Here's the next fix.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Afterwards attempt to update again. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs and the Setupapi.dev.log.

Updates work after the fix.. So I try to understand the setupavi.dev.log and find the error.. and after I try to understand your sfcfix.zip . If I have something similar on another serveur, can I take the file from anoter server (like the ts_generic.inf_amd64_6593dca11ce4d216\ts_generic.inf) and create my sfcfix.zip file by myself?

Just trying to avoid to put more requests here even if I like you all guys!

We seem to have a lot of servers failing during backup with Veeam and Hyperv VMs , and the result is often corrupt registry Hive Database... we don't know why.

Glad to hear the update installed successfully this time.

Basically, yes but each issue could be differ, and problems with drivers can also be more complicated than just replacing the files with a known good copy.

We seem to have a lot of servers failing during backup with Veeam and Hyperv VMs , and the result is often corrupt registry Hive Database... we don't know why.

When a registry HIVE file becomes corrupt, it is usually the cause of a file system problem where the registry cannot be fully written to the system disk or a VHD image.
