Click Start

Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD

Click 'Run as Administrator'

At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any integrity violations

Restart your system

  1. Insert the Windows 7 DVD
  2. Restart your computer
  3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD drive, do so.
  4. Choose your language, click Next.
  5. Click 'Repair your computer'
  6. Select operating system you want to repair.

Need a tool to repair my install, cant really be bother completing some silly process. it should just work, or autorepair via a downloadable tool.

    Same thing happens with me. Right now I'm running command prompt (right click then press tun as administrator) and then verificating system by writing 'sfc/scannow'

    See if you have better luck. :)

    I followed the steps as prescribed but after step 6. "Select the operating system you want to repair."

    but nowhere could I find how to repair Installer files.
