SFCFixScriptBuilder question

[mjmeans]

I've looked through the publicly accessible Windows Update academy tutorials, but I didn't see any mention about ComponentsScanner logs regarding WinSxS\Catalogs\*.cat file exists but there is no corresponding CanonicalData\Catalogs key is found.

Looking through the git repo for SFCFixScriptBuilder 0.10 I see a "Prefixes.CatalogsPrefix" and a const string declaration, but no specific code seems to reference it. Is there a way to use SFCFixScriptBuilder to fix missing CanonicalData\Catalogs keys?

Hi,

Is there a way to use SFCFixScriptBuilder to fix missing CanonicalData\Catalogs keys?

Yes, if you use this tool with an offline hive you can do the following for example:

Keys.txt

\CanonicalData\Catalogs\000bc4129066e9d0911100c175c8a00415f55c582d7f22dd2531919ce9a30983
\CanonicalData\Catalogs\011f3bbe738ecab5fdf6156a91c588ccdf6c7f14c1f16bd3ddc68ac0a6582de6
\CanonicalData\Catalogs\583afa32172827b3a227225c3f76f057fb2ef0e0085c62148c39868342db7f41

Command

C:\Tools\SFCFixScriptBuilder.0.0.10>SFCFixScriptBuilder -log ./keys.txt -components ./COMPONENTS-source

I do not have a clue how to use this tool.

I'm absolutely useless with Command line instructions, so undoubtedly I'm doing something wrong, but quite what that is I have no idea.

Please can you write a detailed set of instructions for how to use it, with lots of examples and appropriate complete command lines, because I just can't get it to work.
