Fix errors found in the CheckSUR.log

This article describes how to resolve servicing corruption that the System Update Readiness tool (CheckSUR) finds but cannot correct on its own. Output from the tool is recorded in the %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log file.

Applies to:   Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2012 R2
Original KB number:   2700601

Note

Make sure you download and run the most recent version of CheckSUR.exe because the tool is updated periodically. To to this, see Fix Windows Update errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool.

Use the CheckSur log

To use the CheckSur log, follow these guidelines:

  • If CheckSUR fixed all the errors that it found, the CheckSUR log shows the following information:

    Summary:
    Seconds executed: 100
    Found 10 errors
    Fixed 10 errors

    In this scenario, you should no longer have any servicing corruption on your computer. If you are still experiencing errors, you have to troubleshoot the specific error message to find the root cause of the failure.

  • If you receive an Unavailable repair files message, this indicates that some of the inconsistent files that the tool found cannot be fixed. This is because the tool does not carry the correct versions of the replacement files. After this message appears, the CheckSUR.log shows information that resembles the following:

    Summary:
    Seconds executed: 264
    Found 3 errors
    CBS MUM Missing Total Count: 3
    Unavailable repair files:

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    1. Download the package that contains the missing files. For this example, you would download Windows6.0-KB958690-x64.msu.
    2. In the %SYSTEMROOT%\CheckSUR folder, create a folder that is named Packages. Copy the Windows6.0-KB958690-x64.msu to the %SYSTEMROOT%\CheckSUR\Packages folder.
    3. Rerun CheckSUR.
    4. If the source package of the missing files is not obvious, you will have to get the files from another computer. Make sure the computer from which you copy the filhates uses the same OS version and system architecture as the computer that you are working on.
    5. Copy the files to the %WinDir%\Temp\CheckSUR folder of the corrupted computer in the following subdirectory format, and then rerun CheckSUR:
      • Put all files of type *.mum and *.cat into the %WinDir%\Temp\CheckSUR\Packages folder.
      • Put all files of type *.manifest into the %WinDir%\Temp\CheckSUR\Manifests folder.
  • If you see a Payload File Missing message, this indicates that the required binary file is not available. This means that the issue is not fixed. The CheckSUR.log shows the following information:

    Summary:

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    1. Find out which payload files are missing. To do this, examine the CheckSUR log. Identify any lines that have an (f) entry that is not followed by (fix). In the previous example, there are two payload files that were not fixed.
    2. Copy these files from another computer. Make sure the computer from which you copy files uses the same OS version and system architecture as the computer that you are working on.
    3. Paste the files into the appropriate subfolder under %windir%\winsxs.

Before you put the files into the indicated locations, you may have to grant yourself permissions to edit the folder contents. To do this, open an elevated Command Prompt window, and run the following commands:

takeown /f <Path_And_Name>
icacls <Path_And_Name> /grant Administrators:F

Note

In these commands, <Path_And_Name> represents the name of the file or folder that you are targeting. For example, you might target the following folder:
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ie-adminkitmostfiles_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_abfb5fd109dad8b8

The following commands take ownership of this folder, grant Full Control of the folder to the Administrators group, and then replace the admparse.dll file:

takeown /f C:\Windows\winsxs\ x86_microsoft-windows-ie-adminkitmostfiles_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_abfb5fd109dad8b8
icacls C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ie-adminkitmostfiles_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_abfb5fd109dad8b8 /grant Administrators:F copy C:\Temp\admparse.dll c:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ieadminkitmostfiles_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_abfb5fd109dad8b8\admparse.dll
