Users/Sean need Sean given full control
Windows need TrustedInstaller full control

 

[sst61]

Sean has full permission but on TrustedInstaller I am getting this error:

Q:\>cacls users\sean
Q:\users\Sean EveryoneOI)(CI)F
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEMOI)(CI)F
BUILTIN\AdministratorsOI)(CI)F
MAINLAND\SeanOI)(CI)F


Q:\>cacls users\sean /E /T /C /G TrustedInstaller:F
No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

 

[GokAy]

Windows folder for TrustedInstaller, not users folder.
Also try NT Service\TrustedInstaller instead or "NT Service\TrustedInstaller" with "".

Sorry, not quite confident with the commands, tried this:

Q:\>cacls windows /E /T /C /G TrustedInstaller:F
No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

Q:\>cacls Windows /E /T /C /G NT AUTHORITY:F
Invalid arguments.
NOTE: Cacls is now deprecated, please use Icacls.

Not sure why, can you give me full path/command line, just to avoid confusion from my side.
I couldnt see TrustedInstaller in windows built in groups anywhere,.

This is not the exact default permissions (I have been guessing for a while now , in case you wish not to pursue it)
Try (make sure you use the correct drive letter though):

icacls C:\Windows /grant "NT Service\TrustedInstaller":(OI)(CI)F

Well you are guessing better than me .

Tried your command line, it did it but still the same thing, no boot.

I dont normally give up but I am out of ideas, besides adding a new user in command prompt to win 7 and try booting (which I dont know exactly how to do) then I guess I have to give up?

Try https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/968003 perhaps (to reset registry permissions):

See the blog linked to at the end for how to run it without installing the msi file - (Issue 2) Notes about a couple of possible issues while using the SubInAcl tool - Aaron Stebner's WebLog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

Thank you very much for all your efforts in helping me GokAy. I'll see what I can do, its been 3 weeks since it stopped booting to 7, I guess I am getting used to the idea of not going to get it back perhaps. I might start a post on microsoft now that we have somehow narrowed it down.

 

[GokAy]

Well, you can backup whatever and clean install

 

[sst61]

Yup, I might do that, but dont like to give up on a challenge
