where is the C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Winsxs\Manifests located ?

No worries, I know how confusing it can be to begin with! Here's how to find it:

1. Click the Start button
   
   then click Computer.
2. Double-click on the C: drive, under the Hard Disk Drives category, and then scroll down to, and double click on the Windows folder.
3. Find and double click on the Temp folder.
4. Find and double click on the CheckSur folder.
5. Find and double click on the Winsxs folder.
6. Find and double click on the Manifests folder.
