Where do I get a copy of devmgmt.msc?

I can not perform a repair install- I keep getting informed that the my copy is newer than that of the one I'm trying to install.

When I registered them, they said the files didn't exist.

Performing sfc/scannow resulted in this.

I have run the sfc/scannow and received these errors:

I CAN open it when I access it via "Computer Management" in my "Administrative Tools"

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate- SP1.

Hi,

What happened when you tried to register them?

Do you get any error message when you tried to follow the instructions I posted?

Perform a repair install to fix this issue:

How to Perform an In-Place Upgrade on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 & Windows Server 2008 R2

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2255099

Warning: Before you perform an in-place upgrade, you should be prepared for a worst case scenario that results in your existing data on your computer being deleted. This data includes personal data, settings, hardware driver information, and software programs. If a worst case scenario occurs, you may have to reinstall all programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or to other external storage devices before you perform an in-place upgrade.

Post back with results.

I think I found the trouble- apparently Msxml.dll, Msxml2.dll and Msxml3.dll are not on my computer. I tried searching for them but couldn't find them. Normally I would use the "Repair" option, but I notice Windows 7 doesn't seem to have one. Where could I get these files?

Hi,

This issue may occur when one or more of the .dll files that are used by the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) are missing or corrupted. These files include the following:

Type CMD in start search

Right click on CMD and select "Run as Administrator".

Msxml.dll

Msxml2.dll

Msxml3.dll

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. At the command prompt, type cd %windir%\system32, and then press ENTER.

Note :The %Windir% folder is the folder where you installed Microsoft Windows.

3. Type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.

Regsvr32 Msxml.dll

Regsvr32 Msxml2.dll

Regsvr32 Msxml3.dll

4. Type exit, and then press ENTER to close the Command Prompt window.
5. Restart the computer.

Hope it helps.
