Hi...

It took forever to update Wins 7-64 for June updates. Had to wait a very long time over 1 1/2 hour. Also had problems using System Restore. It would not restore.

This is my FarBar Recovery Tool file scans both First and Additional scans:

I will appreciate your help.

Thanks
George

After running the fix what came up was that something went wrong. It asked if I want to send a report to developer.

This is the report:

I checked with the developer and he indeed received your crash dump. He'll take a look at it soon and let me know the results.

You mean that the developer received it automatically without me having to send it??? Okay... I'll be waiting.
BTW, thank you very much for your time... I appreciate your valued help.

Sorry for the delay George. The developer is aware of the issue and working on a fix, but I'll prepare another fix tonight using another tool to replace the files, so you won't have to keep on waiting :)

No problem..... I appreciate your valued help. I'll be waiting for your FIX... Can you please explain what files need to be fixed and why? Really curious...

Thanks

Alright, this is going to be a little technical, but let's see how it turns out. First, I want you to download this ReplacementFiles.zip archive and save it on your desktop. Now, you're going to right-click on it, select Extract... and make sure the destination path is the one below:
Code:
C:\ReplacementFiles
Once done, go in that folder, and make sure you see these three folders:
Code:
amd64_microsoft-windows-musicsamples_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_06495209cbd8e93b
amd64_microsoft-windows-videosamples_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_51a21f033003affd
amd64_microsoft-windows-winsatmediasamples_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_0b34d0642122c1c4
After confirming that the folders are correctly showing in the C:\ReplacementFiles folder, follow the instructions below.

I just hope that all is good now. Again, thank you so much for your time. I think you enjoy what you do as a tech...

Looks like the fix failed. Did you check in the ReplacementFiles folder to make sure the other three folders are there? The file structure should look like this.
Code:
C:\ReplacementFiles\amd64_microsoft-windows-musicsamples_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_06495209cbd8e93b
C:\ReplacementFiles\amd64_microsoft-windows-videosamples_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_51a21f033003affd
C:\ReplacementFiles\amd64_microsoft-windows-winsatmediasamples_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_0b34d0642122c1c4
All these folders have a few files inside them.
 
Hi...

Yes.... I did verify the file.

The file is included so as you can check it:


amd64_microsoft-windows-musics...
amd64_microsoft-windows-videos...
amd64_microsoft-windows-winsat...

This is how the files look. I tried to attach the zipped file but it seems that it's too large and won't upload. If I could send you the file I think you can analyze it better...
 
Let's try something. Open your command prompt and enter the command below.
Code:
cd C:\ReplacementFiles
From there, enter this command.
Code:
dir /s > "%userprofile%\Desktop\dir.txt"
A file called dir.txt will appear on your desktop. Open it, and copy/paste its content here.
 
Am I doing it right? Open Command Prompt as administrator... then... First this : cd C:\ReplacementFiles and right after this : dir /s > "%userprofile%\Desktop\dir.txt". After each one do I click enter or what? Please be more specific.......
 
Yes, whenever you enter a command in the command prompt you need to press Enter to send it. So in this case, there's two commands, so two Enter. One command, Enter, the other command, Enter.
 
That's the problem, the ReplacementFiles doesn't exit. When you right-click on the ReplacementFiles.zip I give you and select Extract, under the destination path, you need to enter C:\ReplacementFiles. In the end, it'll look like this (once extracted).
