Use DISM.
DISM is the more "modern" way, for lack of a better word, to check for errors. The only difference between DISM on Windows 7 and later operating systems is that later operating systems have more features built into DISM.
Please see "Fix Windows Update errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool"
If you have KB2966583 Improvements for the System Update Readiness Tool in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installed, then you have the DISM command available.
The basic commands are here:
Repair a Windows Image
from an elevated command prompt:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Yes, it says Windows 8.1, but that's because the full features of DISM to REPAIR the image are in 8.1 and above. But DISM on 7 can DETECT problems, it just might not be able to repair them.

I just ran DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /SCANHEALTH and got the error message that dism.exe is not a valid WIN32 exec.
Is it possible I DID NOT install the 64bit version? I run Windows 7 Professional 64bit. I did run command prompt as an Administrator
I don't think it is possible to install the wrong version x86 or x64, it just won't let you install it.
If KB2966583 is installed, you should have DISM available.

Resolved. I pointed to C:\Windows\System32 and ran Dism. It is running now. Hopefully no errors
DISM should be run from an elevated command prompt. The default directory for an elevated command prompt IS c:\windows\system32
