Boggin,

[Rick]

In tweaking all in one repair, tab4, its a good idea to add a checkbox to review the SFC report by doing;

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

supposedly, it reports what it can not fix.

I also read this; seems logical to skip SFC and use DSIM instead or both;
this command works in win7;
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

[Boggin]

Yes, but that Dism cmd doesn't repair.

I prefer to read the sfc CBS log when sent to the desktop - it reports what it has and can't repair, whereas a Dism CBS goes on for ever and ever and doesn't have the clarity (for me) that a sfc CBS log has.

Try this command from a ADM prompt;

Dism /Cleanup-Wim

then try the other commands to restore,
there is also an offline restore command;

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess

[Boggin]

Have you tried it in Win 7 ?

[Rick]

couple weeks later

going through the driver identifier motions now
https://www.driveridentifier.com/

I suggest we all do it first...
I wont install or update DELL,HP etc drivers.. "only Intel"

[Boggin]

Try this command from a ADM prompt;

Dism /Cleanup-Wim

then try the other commands to restore,
there is also an offline restore command;

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess

I'll ask again - have you tried this cmd in Win 7 ?

[Rick]

Busy with my day job,

1; example, copied install disk to a drive;
need to understands command code better

2; back to my day job

[Rick]

For example;

what will be the "code" to run this command from my win7 ISO on my computer?

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess

My file is located at;

"C:\Downloads\Windows7 32Bit-Lenovo\"

[Boggin]

You can't.

The /restorehealth cmd returns an Error 87 in Win 7.

When you run the cmd you want to run in Win 7, in Win 8.# or 10 you have to mount the ISO and I've never seen that option in Win 7 when you right click on the ISO.

The only Dism cmds that will run in Win 7 that I know of are /scanhealth and /revertpendingactions

The option that you have to compare your volume with an ISO in Win 7 is to boot up with a Win 7 install disk that includes SP1 and navigate to the Windows Recovery Environment to select Command Prompt and enter -

bcdedit |find "osdevice" and using whichever partition letter, enter where X is the partition letter -

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=X:\ /offwindir=X:\Windows

[Rick]

Conservatively speaking;

Please have a look here and lets review, what we can do;

I would say that supports what I've said - you can't use a Dism cmd to repair Win 7 - you have to use sfc /scannow or chkdsk.

In Win 7, to repair Windows Update problems you have to use the System Update Readiness Tool, whereas in later versions you can use a Dism cmd - as you will see from this article -

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/947821

The Dism cmd line in your Reply #7 relates to the one in the article and Win 7's equivalent is the offboot sfc /scannow as I've already explained.

[Rick]

at this juncture, we doing the upgrade repair...

I would suggest that running the system update readiness tool is useful, it did not solve the issues.

[Rick]

upgrade repair failed to repair...

[Boggin]

What exactly is the problem you are having as you haven't explained that.

[Rick]

currently
Installed program menu wont repair or uninstall need by some program like total uninstaller to delete...

for example; remove all versions of java stopped working...

[Boggin]

You could try the free versions of CCleaner/Tools or IObit Uninstaller.

For CCleaner, go through the Settings and uncheck the boxes for Monitoring and for logs less than 24hrs old and that will clean out more when you use the cleaner to clear out the cache.

I use IObit Uninstaller but look for check boxes that could include unwanted bundled software.
