very strange!
Those two files are tagged as Read-only for some reason - and they will resist being changed to write-enabled until their permissions are corrected - which begs the question of how they got changed in the first place.

Please run the following commands (with any luck, I'll get them all right this time!)

TAKEOWN /F C:\Windows\System32\oobe\*.* /A
ICACLS C:\Windows\System32\oobe\*.* /grant Administrators:(F)
ATTRIB -R C:\Windows\System32\oobe\*.*
TAKEOWN /F C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\*.* /A
ICACLS C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\*.* /grant Administrators:(F)
ATTRIB -R C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\*.*



That should take care of the problem permanently - and perhaps prevent future problems

Please post back if you spot any error messages in the output!

...and once you've done that, please repeat the instructions that Tom last left - then we'll set about fixing the other problem files (if any) that may remain

Hopefully I've understood it properly - didn't see any glaring errors from the above

Hmm - still failing, even on the ones we supposedly allowed.
Please run the following commands to check what's happening....

(Personally, I'd have done this a different way from the start - but this is really Tom's thread, so we'll do it his way )

I have no idea what's causing SFCFix to hiccup like this so please don't hold back on my part! I was determined to fix this outside of the RE

The basic problem is simple enough - the files are tagged as read-only. and since Admins don't have Modify access, they can't untag them. I assume that SFCFix doesn't check/modify attributes before attempting the processing, so it gets an 0x5 error on the deletion. and can't rename copy/move the original.

The question is whether the daughter files are real ones, or merely hard links back to the Winsxs ones - I think that perhaps the evidence so far is that they are links, so we need to ignore the daughters and merely adjust the Winsxs files properly.

OK - please run the following commands, and we'll get this sorted once and for all (I hope!)

post the output and we'll see where we are


Reading the earlier output with fresh(ish) eyes, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was.
