gcbodie Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I installed XP SP2 and then later ran the update to SP3.I have copied the i386 from the SP2 CD into C:\Setup\i386.I have copied the i386 from the SP3 update EXE into C:\Setup\SP\i386.When I run SFC it cannot find the SP3 files it needs.Here is what I have in the registry:HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup... Installation Sources REG_MULTI_SZ C:\Setup; C:\Setup\SP... ServicePackSourcePath REG_SZ C:\Setup\SP... SourcePath REG_SZ C:\SetupHKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion...

gcbodie Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 I see I wasn't very clear - sorry. The purpose of this is so that I can run SFC without needing to locate the CD's that were used. Also helps in some cases if you later want to add/modify some Windows features. I have the disk space so why not just keep a copy of the i386 there?I have successfully done this for a long time, but the added wrinkle now is the separate SP. I can't seem to put the right info in the Registry such that SFC figures out where the original i386 and the SP i386 are located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdv Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 ; ------------- SFC Settings ------------- ; You can set the dllcache path here. To disable WFP completely, set the path to something invalid like "Z:"HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","SFCDllCacheDir",,"%SystemRoot%\System32\Dllcache"HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protection","SFCDllCacheDir",,"%SystemRoot%\System32\Dllcache" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcbodie Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 It's certainly possible that I'm not understanding correctly how this works, but I thought SFC /scannow checked the contents of the DLL cache against the distribution media, and the thing I am trying to figure out is how to tell it correctly where to find the distribution media.Originally, it wanted to look at D:\ or D:\i386 if the distribution media was a CD in the D: drive. I copied those directories to C:\Setup\... and I've been trying to tell SFC to look there instead. It works fine when I only had the original CD, but I got messed up when I added the SP3 CD's i386 directory also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
