I have Vista Ultimate 32bit. I'm trying to download the Language Packs and it will do the downloads and some of the installs then I get an error message " code:800700C1 " . Is there a way to fix that ? What also happens is the updates that I installed already show up there again. Like the Ultimate Extras.
Regarding Windows Update.

Hi King,
Can you attach a System Infomation report? Type the name into the start-menu.
Cheers

I'm trying to get all of them that came with Vista Ultimate.

I remember with XP that sometimes this problem was due to smipi.dll
You could run a sfc /scannow to check your files integrity, who knows?

I will try the sfc/scannow command later. Can't really do it right now. I know this is out of the windows update question but is there away to change the ProgramFilesDir from C:\Program files to D:\Program files and still have everything working fine? I did that through the regedit and then I could play any of the games, media player didn't work.
My Computer
Hi VistaKing,
You dont need to force the Programfiles path via registry, When installing a program just change its installation DIR to elsewhere.

Dmex,
Some software will allow me to install to my D:\Program Files folder some won't allow me and make me install it to C:\Program Files.

What will do that? Will that allow me to change my C:\Program Files to D:\Program Files in the registry without messing up the games. I did that once and it didnt allow me to play any games even the media player and other stuff work. I couldn't even get back into the reistry to fix it. I had to go to safe mode to fix it back to normal.
Just ran the SFC /SCANNOW it found some corrupted files and successfully repaired them. When I went to read the CBS.LOG I get an error message saying " access denied " with a blank notepad.

Disabling UAC will severely limit the security of your computer, allowing anything to make system-wide changes potentially destroying system files causing more problems.
UAC is only one reason you cant change the DIR path because it protects the Programfiles DIR and others from programs preventing virus`s or spyware from infecting your machine.
Read our Guide on SFC here: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66978-system-files-sfc-command.html also note in the document 1. How to Read the CBS.LOG
Can you upload the sfcdetails.txt here so we can analyse it for you?

How do you upload a file on here ?
I typed this " findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt " in the command prompt and nothing opened up.
My Computer
Hey King,
It needs to be an Administrative Command Prompt and upload files via the attachments button.

I'm using the Administrative command prompt , I get a message saying " FINDSTR: Cannot open windows\logs\cbs\cbs.logs "
I typed the extact command and after I pressed the enter key I get a new line in the command prompt " C:\Windows\system32 " . Nothing popped up after I did that command you told me to do.

Hi vistaking,
The sfcdetails.txt is writen directly in your system32 folder, no poup or whatever after the command you entered, you could have only some warnings in the prompt command if you entered a wrong command.
So go to your c:\windows\system32 folder and copy the sfcdetails.txt file, attach it to your next post.
If you can't find your sfcdetails.txt file, do not worry, just zip your cbs.log file, attach the zip and we will manage to create the sfcdetails.txt for you.
To create a sfcdetails.txt file you have 4 possibilities:
Shows everything done by sfc
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
Shows files that cannot be repaired
findstr /C:"[SR] Cannot repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
Shows repaired files
findstr /C:"[SR] Repaired file" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
or
findstr /C:"[SR] Repairing corrupted file" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
Hope it helps
