Hello.
I have problem with validating system files using sfc/scannow command.
Today i tried yours sfcfix.exe tool and want to share results.
I've run it two times. After first launch tool repaired some errors but still not all. I noticed i also have problem with MSDTC.LOG.
I've also tried to run SURT (Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64.msu) again, as i tried it a some time ago but without success.
I attached two SFCFix.txt files after first and second(showing even more "CBS & SFC total detected corruption count") launch of sfcfix tool.
Hope you can help me to solve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!

SFCFix Script

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 SFCFix.exe (by niemiro) and save this to your Desktop.
  2. Download the file below, SFCFix.zip, and save this to your Desktop. Ensure that this file is named SFCFix.zip - do not rename it.
  3. Save any open documents and close all open windows.
  4. On your Desktop, you should see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCFix.zip.
  5. Drag the file SFCFix.zip onto the file SFCFix.exe and release it.
  6. SFCFix will now process the script.
  7. Upon completion, a file should be created on your Desktop: SFCFix.txt.
  8. Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of this file into your next post for me to analyse please - put [CODE][/CODE] tags around the log to break up the text.

Thank you very much for your help. Just want to inform about one more thing. After completion repairing, i started in-build Disk Cleanup in order to free some space used by winsxs folder, because i was not able to clean those updates since the problem with validating files occur, until you helped me. So i run through cleaning process with "Windows Updates" selected for cleaning. But after rebooting I've stuck on logon screen showing "applying updates. don't turn off computer" with progress 100%. So i wait about 3 hours with no further progress, and when i noticed there is no (or almost no) HDD usage showing by LED i decided to force turn off/on computer. After that login process also stopped showing applying updates at mark 35%. I wait some time and turn off/on comp. again, and only on this third attempt it allow me to login after some time when "cleaning up" was finished. So i'm not sure was these files are properly cleaned because of such unexpected shutdowns, but i've checked once more by sfc /scannow and its returns with "ok" ("did not find any integrity violations ") Windows Update feature seems work fine also.
 
Would you be so kind and explain me a little bit about this problem with system files validation i encountered. What is the manifest files and from which source these “manifests” and msdtc.log yours scripts using? Are they from windows distributive? The problem i had can lead only to problems with windows updates or other errors as well? Thank you.
 
Basically you had damaged files, I look at me repository and extracted them from a known good source for you.

The corruption usually affects only Windows Update, but other things can be affected in some cases as well :-)
 
Ok. But as i know in Win XP for example sfc tool checks and replacing if needed other types of files not only connected with windows update such a .dll and other system files. Whats different in Win 7 in this case?
 
Can you please clarify one thing. When i run SURT before it didnt repair files automatically- correct? Then by using script we manually replace these damaged files by files from your repository. And afterward when i run SURT again it replaced them one more time from its own package? Am i right or not? But why SURT didn't helped first time? And why command dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth also didnt helped. Very interesting...
