    Various error messages installing system files/drivers.


    Hi, can somebody assist me with my issue please?

    I5 2500k
    HD6950
    8gb ddr3
    asus p8p67

    Various error messages installing system files/drivers:

    The exact error message can vary depending on what I try to install but I always get a failed installation of graphics driver installs, direct x updates and windows updates.
    An example from when I install a new steam game and the directX update begins is here: imgur: the simple image sharer

    It only appears to affect system updates; games and applications install and function fine.
    I am virus free and the problem appeared out of nowhere a few weeks back. The OS install is around a year old.
    I have tried defrag and the disk error check scan.
    I don't have a system restore from before the issue began.
    Everything else within windows appears to work without issues.

    Any assistance is welcome :)

    Welcome to Seven Forums vedz. I would start with the System File Checker.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Ok I did that scan and it found errors, some of which it could not repair.

    I am going to try to replace the files that are damaged, which are:
    SPInf.dll
    winspool.drv.mui
    msiexec
    wet.dll.mui

    Did you run the scan 3 times as suggested? If so, yes, good luck in manually replacing files. If no luck, if this is a new install, a Clean install would be in order. If this is an existing install, a Repait install may be in order.

    Clean Install Windows 7

    Repair Install

    Thanks for the assistance. I decided to go with a repair install in the end. The problem is now solved :)

    Glad to hear it. Usually when there are multiple issues, fixing them individually will often be unsuccessful. A Guy
