Hi all,

My laptop is running ok but I have noticed that certain programs have been taking a lot longer than usual to install/update (e.g. iTunes) but they always do. Then the last few days AVG Antivirus has been wanting to auto-update the software (not just the virus definitions) but each time it would freeze during the ''configuring'' step and subsequently cause every other program running to freeze and stop the opening of any other program - although I could still move the cursor so not a complete freeze if that makes sense.

So today I removed AVG with the removal tool and tried to do a fresh install but now I get a failure message immediately telling me ''MSI Engine: failed to initialize the package''.

I have no idea how to go about fixing this and ran system file check which said corrupt files were found but it was unable to repair some of them. Here is the log:

I have no idea how to read one of these or even if it effectively evaluates the status of the installer so any help with this would be much appreciated.

PS Apologies if this is in the wrong sub-forum.

Ok so since then I restored windows to yesterday evening to see how things would be, AVG was a bit wonky so first tried to repair the install (using the regular install file downloaded from the website) - this led to a BSOD citing ''BAD_POOL-HEADER''. I don't know what that is but anyway I continued by then removing AVG and trying a fresh install and this time it worked fine, no problems.

I just ran and sfc scan again however and got the same message as before but this time the log file is alarmingly much much longer and has a lot more information in it so I've attached the file instead of copying the text in here.

Again I'd really appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable could help me diagnose the issue :(

The way you check for SFC problems is to use the command below in an Administrative command prompt window. Remember, the log is written in sequence, so it may show several SFC runs, check the date and time. Then look near the end for something related to "Unable to Repair".

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"

Thanks for your reply.

I've quoted below the files that could not be repaired and attached the log.

folder removal

As with most uninstallers the programme in its own right is removed

HOWEVER

The folders still remain in "C" and until these are deleted, manually, MS will treat them as still installed.

Thats how i got MSE in W7 to run , same for 8, after installing/deleting a 3rd party AV.

The only file showing a problem in SFC is that stupid printer file which causes that error for 80% to 90% of Windows 8 users. Not a problem, but the DSIM command recommended should replace it.
