Windows 7: Windows 7 update fails and Windows not genuine message is appearing

Tom,

Copied the commands to elevated command prompt and got the attached message.

Tom,

I checked the root of C: folder and tom file was there, but when I try to upload it here, the upload fails.

Hi Louis,

Thanks for the command prompt output, I have seen the problem with my fix now, let's try again:


Command Prompt

1. Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each
   
   REG EXPORT "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\PackageDetect" %SYSTEMDRIVE%\tom982.reg
   
   
4. This will create a text file called tom982.reg in the root folder of your main drive (e.g. C:\tom982.txt). Please attach this to your next post.

Tom,

File was to large for upload here. Used dropbox. https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/tom98...1h2psPHqESYXbw

Louis

Hi Louis,

Thanks for uploading it, but would you mind putting it in the Dropbox\Public folder please? I can't access that file as it is currently in a private location.

Tom

Tom,

Hope this does it. https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/tom98...1h2psPHqESYXbw

Hi Louis,

I'm afraid that didn't work either. Could you put the file in C:\Users\{Username}\Dropbox\Public. Then right click on it, then click Dropbox > Copy Public Link.

Then paste the link here please.

Tom

Tom,

I do not have a Public folder under the dropbox folder. I must have messed something up when I installed it.

Tom,

Try this. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tomc3u7ksxd2s0r/tom982.reg

Hi Louis,

Perfect! Thank you.

I have attached a file, Fix2.reg, to this post. Could you download and merge it to your registry please? Just double click on it, and accept the prompt.

This better not kick up a fuss about permissions again!

Then reboot and run the SURT and upload the log please:

C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log
