Corruption in MSDTC.LOG is keeping update KB3000850 from installing (New)

QMan71 · Mar 12, 2015

Hi guys,

I've got exactly the same issue as this thread - https://www.sysnative.com/forums/wi...keeping-update-kb3000850-from-installing.html

I ran SFCFix and all the output produced is exactly the same (including the corrupted file name)

I'm guessing that zip file in the solution is tailored for that corrupt log file?
If so, can I get a copy of that zip file please?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Quentin

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I would be happy to provide this zip file do you, but can you please do me a favor first? Can you please go into the following folder :
C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-com-dtc-runtime_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_0a1162f033fa01f6\

Copy the MSDTC.LOG file to your desktop, -> add it into a zip file called MSDTC_QMan71.zip -> attach to your next post

Basically we are getting flooded with these requests for these files. I am trying to work out some details about the file, uploading it would help a great deal.

Once the file is upload please complete the following:

SFCFix Script

Thanks for that.

Here's the log file you requested.

Thank you.

how did the fix go?

QMan71 · Mar 14, 2015

Worked perfectly thank you!!

The output is below and I've attached the log.

FYI -
Don't know if this caused the corruption in the first place but I originally installed that update a few months ago and it installed fine but it had a major conflict with Avast antivirus (locked folders/couldn't compile anything).
I uninstalled the update until Avast has fixed up their side.

I tried to reinstall it again along with newer windows updates and then noticed it kept re-appearing in windows updates so I investigated and found that it was failing to install because of the corrupted log.

Anyway, all good now.

Thanks heaps for your help.

Cheers,
Quentin

Log looks good :)

Don't know if this caused the corruption in the first place but I originally installed that update a few months ago and it installed fine but it had a major conflict with Avast antivirus (locked folders/couldn't compile anything).

I dont think so in this case, this corruption is extremely common, we are still trying to work out how the issue is occurring.
