[SOLVED] SFC error

Docfxit · Jun 7, 2022

I can't seem to get rid of an error with SFC /scannow.
When I run it the error I get is:
Cannot repair member file [l:18{9}]"MSDTC.LOG"
I have run:
Chkdsk /r
It did fix some errors.
It's now clean.
I did run SFC /scannow after that.
I'm getting the same error.

I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit
I can't find the file MSDTC.LOG

As a side note in the folder C:\Windows\servicing\Packages
I have 24,111 files. Is that normal?

Hello Docfxit,

Please refer to the posting instructions: Windows Update Forum Posting Instructions

I would like you to complete step 3 and then post the CBS folder as instructed in step 5.

Many thanks!

Thank you for the reply...

I have completed step 3
I have downloaded and installed the System Update Readiness tool. All 26 files.
I am surprised the instructions never suggested I run:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
or
SFC /scannow

I have attached the CBS folder in a zip file as instructed.

Thank you very much for your time.

Thank you. You indicated you had already run SFC at least twice. DISM does not work with Win7; the SURT is recommended. I will try to look at the files this weekend but it may not be possible due to other commitments.

Thank you for what ever you can do when ever you can do it.
