I seem to have KB2966583 installed when I look into INSTALLED UPDATES. KB947821 does not seem to install, just run when selected. Should I uninstall KB2966583?

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

If KB2966583 is installed, you should have DISM available. This is the download page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-tool-in-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2 Go into Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates and see if KB2966583 is installed. If not, install it.

The default directory for an elevated command prompt IS c:\windows\system32
