I am having a problem with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 updates and the SFC scan tool.  The windows update screen shows an error code 80073712.  The sfc /scan tool will not run even in safe mode.  It always shows "resource protection could not perform the requested operation". 

I ran the Tweaking step 1 pre scan tool and it indicates I have bad package files related to KB2756822.  It indicates that I should manually update these files.  I have attached a copy of the scan results with the information.  I tried to update these files by doing a search for KB2756822, but the only download I could find and run indicated that it wasn't for this computer.  It may not have been the correct Windows 7 x64 version.  I was thinking about upgrading to the Tweaking Pro level repair tool, but I doubt that it would help solve my problem.  Is there a way to update these corrupted package files, or am I going to have to reload Windows 7?

All repair sin the program are free, the pro is extra features or for people who want to show support :-)

How I get the files is I use the Microsoft catalog site, you have to use IE (They force you to lol) In IE go to

https://catalog.update.microsoft.com

Then in there you can search by KB number and grab the file you need. That is how I get most of them.

I can also see if I have those files in the repository I am building, if you can attach the log instead I can copy and paste the file names into a program I made to auto grab the files for me out of the 50,000+ files I have. :wink:

I want to mention that I have a laptop with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate that is working well.  Could I get the files I need by copying them from that computer?  When I do get the correct files, I am going to have a problem putting them in the correct folder on the desktop.  I tried installing one of these files from my laptop and ended up spending 4 hours fighting with security and ownership of the folder.  I could not get permission to change the files.  I have given up for tonight.

Here is a copy of the scan from my desktop with the problems.  It lists all the bad package files.

Problems were found with the packages files, these files need to be replaced (These mainly only effect installing Windows Updates.)
The SFC (System File Checker) doesn't scan and replace some of these files, so you may need to replace them manually.
These files do not keep the repairs from working, you may still run the repairs in the program.

If you need help in replacing these files, post on the Forums at Tweaking.com for help.

Scan Complete - Problems Found!

You can use the Repair Reparse Points or Repair Environment Variables tools at the bottom of this Window if needed.

While problems have been found, you can still run the repairs in the program.
But for the best results it is recommended to fix the problems reported in this scan if possible.
If you need help fixing any of the items in the log, just post in the forums at Tweaking.com for help.

If the files are on the other system then yes you can use them :-)

As for permissions, I made that easy, grab the zip file here
http://www.tweaking.com/articles/pages/add_quottake_ownershipquot_to_right_click_menu_in_vista_amp_7,1.html

Which is http://www.tweaking.com/files/Take_Ownership.zip

Run the reg file in the zip, then go right click on the packages folder, you will have a take owner ship menu item, that will take ownership of the folder and everything in it, then you will be able to copy the files into there :-)

Your program to take control of the file folder worked great.  The only problem now is when I open the command prompt to do an sfc scan, there is no option to run as administrator.  The take ownership option appears but when used the command prompt disappears.

I loaded the files from my Windows 7 Ultimate laptop with no problem.  Unfortunately they did not change anything.  All the same files still show up in the pre scan and the windows updater and sfc scan tools still do not work.

I went to the download site you recommended to get the KB files.  When I download the file for KB2756882 I get one file name that looks like this -  AMD64-all-windows6.1-kb2756882-x64_0c9661a559c64b8f1b9728f5b3daa18828895831.msu.  On my computer I have multiple files with different names ranging from Package-149_KB2756882* to Package-170_KB275682.  I must be doing something wrong!

Before you run the Pre-Scan did you put a check on the box to tell the program to add the cat files to the security catalog database? If not give that a try :wink:

Well, I finally gave up and did a reinstall of Windows 7.  The computer was continuing to deteriorate and lose functionality.  I think there was more wrong than just the updater.  It blocked me at every turn and given the time involved, it appeared easier to reinstall windows and replace the programs.  I do have a good backup, so it shouldn't take too long.

Thanks for your help.  I will be back if I have any new problems, before they get out of hand.  I need to make this one as solved, but I can't seem to find the right button to click.

Sometimes a reinstall is simply the best and fastest choice :-)

Good to hear it is working, let me know if you need anything else. Also you can just go edit your first post and change the subject and add solved or what ever you like.
