I have Windows 7 Ultimate OS.
I'm opening mmc.exe as administrator and trying add Certificates or any other snap-in, then while loading that snap-in MMC breaks and displays following message and after that it closes automatically once I click on close button on that message. What could be the problem?
I did following to fix the problem but couldn't succeed any of these:
- I tried to repair the OS
- I repaired files using this method
- Even repaired the installation using this link
Edit:
I've even tried to rename or delete the MMC.exe file and couldn't succeed because it says I need authorization from TrustedInstaller to do those operations. In order to avoid this I've even followed instructions in this article but still it doesn't allow me to delete and now it says you need to have authorization from the user who is owner of the file, but interesting thing is that owner is logged in user only but still it asks for authorization from same user.
Update: @oldskool: Here is the debug process output: Sorry its a long output text.

C:\Windows\Logs\CBS
and delete or renameCBS.log
, then runsfc /scannow
again. Pay close attention to what it says when it finishes. Does it say that it found and fixed the problems or does it say that there were problems that it could not fix? Look atCBS.log
now to see the results of the scan without previous clutter. Open it in a text-editor (you can copy it to avoid permission issues), then search for the term error.
