Windows 7 update fails and Windows not genuine message is appearing

Tom,

When I paste the copied lines to the command prompt, it immediately displays the results as soon as I release the mouse. In other words, I am not doing anything except copying and pasting...I am not hitting the enter key.

Hi Louis,

No problem, we'll try another approach to avoid any formatting issue.

Please download the attached batch file, louk1.bat, and save this to the root folder of your system drive under the same name - e.g. C:\louk1.bat

Then open your start menu, type cmd and right-click > Run as administrator to bring up an elevated command prompt window. From here, I would like you to run this command please:

devxexec /user:TrustedInstaller C:\louk1.bat

This will output a log to C:\tom982.txt. Can you attach this to your next post please?

Tom

Hi Louis,

Could you try again, but at that error, just press OK please? I've tested that app quite a few times now, and everything has worked despite showing that error.

I'd check the existing permissions on the registry Key and see if they are screwed before attempting anything else - I've been a little busy today to test such things.

Thanks Noel.

Tom,

Here is the screen shot that stopped mefrom installing or running TeamViewer. I've tried disabling features in IE9, disabling Vipre (antivirus), and Windows Firewall. I went to TeamViewer and installed their certificate. Nothing has worked. Sorry. And I will have to leave shortly for several hours to get my grandson from school.

Hey - you're the go-to guy for this sort of problem :)
Having said that, it sounds like possible Certificate Store corruption, Cryptsvc problems, or a result of the known corruptions.
I think you're going to have to do it the hard way, and manually change permissions to-and-back (or use Subinacls, if that behaves)

Hi Louis,

Fortunately, this is easier than I first thought so I'll give it a go without using TeamViewer before we go down the route of trying to work out why TeamViewer won't run.

Open your start menu, and in the search box type regedit, when the results load, right click on regedit and select Run as administrator. From regedit, I would like you to navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing

Right click on the Component Based Servicing key and select Permissions. Click Advanced, then select the Owner tab. On this list, click on your username (e.g. Mine is displayed as Tom (Tom-PC\Tom)) to select it, tick the box labelled Replace owner on subcontainers and objects then click Apply then OK.

Now, in this first permissions window, you should see a few entries in the Group or user names: box. Click on Administrators once to select it, then check that the Full Control (Allow) box is ticked, if it isn't then tick it. Then repeat this check for TrustedInstaller. Then click OK, and close regedit.

Download the attached file, louk1_SURT_Fix_v4.reg and save it to your Desktop. Double-click on the file to run it. You will be asked to confirm whether you wish to merge this file to the registry, click Yes. Then reboot, run the SURT, and upload the CheckSUR.persist.log please!

Tom

Tom,

I know that it is your sleep time. Completed the permission changes in the registry and here are the results. I was hoping that you could have access so that you could take a good look without all of extra effort. Thanks again.

Ha!

Latest update completely and utterly crippled my machine.

TNrpY.png

Direct Link: http://i.imgur.com/TNrpY.png

I think it's safe to say that Windows failed to properly create a restore point as well..

Can't system restore. Can't go back to the last restore point, right before the update. Windows update service is down and cannot be force start, so I can't undo recent update, can't use genuine tool, device manager shows blank, cannot force start plugplay.. all of this hell broke loose after update + restart.
