Found corrupt files. navigated to files. tried several times to take ownership of files to replace them from win7 installation disk. access denied. followed instruction by Microsoft and SevenForums to take ownership, which are the same. access denied.

Problem Solved. Ran SFCFix.exe. Ran SFCFix.zip. Identified location of NSLOOKUP.exe and MSDTS.log. Opened Win7 installation disk with 7-zip. Used InstallTakeOwnership.reg to add take ownership of file. Navigated to corrupt files and deleted them. Placed copies of those files on desktop from installation disk. ran SFCFix.exe and SFCFix.zip which replaced now missing files in appropriate location and reset permissions and ownership. ran SFC /SCANNOW. No errors. Finally solved months long issue. Thanks!!!

If I can provide any additional help on your issue please let me know. You will need a Windows installation disk for the operating system you are running. I have a copy of Windows 7 iso image I could provide you with and how to open it to access the necessary files if SFCfix.exe and SFCFix.zip can't repair the problem. The log created will provide the path to the corrupt file or folder.

Read this completely before you proceed. Create a system restore point or disk image to be safe. Place both SFCfix.zip and SFCfix.exe on desktop. Left-click SFCfix.zip and drag on top of SFCfix.exe and release the button (drag and drop) will execute the zip program but at this point you don't need to do that. It appears that your corrupt file is not a system file and that it a good thing. Deleting a system file could render your computer inoperable.
What I did was navigate to the location of the corrupt file and delete it. You have to take ownership of the file because it is in a windows protected folder. I used a registry edit program which places an automated function in your right-click menu. info and download take ownership zip is located here Add "Take Ownership" to Explorer Right-Click Menu in Win 7, 8 or Vista Although it says Vista it is compatible with Windows7.
Run InstallTakeOwnership.reg. Either search for the corrupt file with windows search (which takes forever) or go to the location of the file indicated in the text file you uploaded. Double check to make sure you are at the right file. Right-click file and select take ownership in the menu. Delete file.
Place Windows installation disk in drive (must be installation disk, not recovery disk). Run SFCfix.exe The program will locate the correct folder/file on the disk and install automatically.
Drag and drop SFCfix.zip on top of SFCfix.exe it take ownership of the folder/file and restore ownership to default/opriginal setting.
Run sfc /scannow again and all should be well. If all is well, you can run RemoveTakeOwnership.reg to delete the take ownership context menu entry.
Another way to delete the file is Forced Delete. You can download UltraVirus Killer (UVK) and install it. Its free, (I love free). Navigate to the corrupt file/folder, right-click choose Force Delete. You will have to reboot for this to take effect and follow the other instruction. I purchased UVK, one time lifetime payment. If you look through the program there is a plethora of tools available including anti-virus/malware tools. Choose either method you feel most comfortable with. Hope this helps.
