Egad, I've got trouble
I have been running SFC and getting more error than I know what to do with. But before I once again blow away my OS (Win7) I would like to see if anyone has any thoughts as to how I am getting into this mess!
First, the SFC does not complete and I end up with:
Verification 95% complete.
Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.
I am going to list just a sampling of the errors I am getting, no reason to throw the whole thing at you. First I get a series of messages like:
2016-09-08 20:25:26, Info CSI 0000009d [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:76{38}]"api-ms-win-downlevel-user32-l1-1-0.dll" of Microsoft-Windows-DownlevelApisets-Windows, Version = 7.1.7601.16492, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 (9), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type neutral, TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral in the store, file is missing

Some file somewhere appears to be missing but as to what and where, I need someone more knowledgeable than I.
The end of the error list and presumably when the Windows Resource Protection kills itself, I get:
2016-09-08 20:29:45, Info CSI 00000339 [SR] Beginning Verify and Repair transaction
2016-09-08 20:29:47, Info CSI 0000033b [SR] Repairing corrupted file [ml:520{260},l:40{20}]"\??\C:\Windows\en-US"\[l:32{16}]"winhlp32.exe.mui" from store
The one and only thing that I can say about that last error is that it didn't start appearing until I attempted to install the old version of help on my machine. Never had a successful install and had the error ever since. There are other errors similar to the above about not finding one file or another but I can't make out what it wants and where.
Anybody got any ideas?
