kudos:1 | [WIN7] Esentutl Tool - need help
Esentutl tool w/ command prompt |
Here is a screenshot and a link to my instructions, with the instructions copied here too. If I continue with this am I suppose to open and empty the catroot2 folder from Windows Explorer while leaving the command prompt open?
Also - is the screenshot saying there are corrupt files or not? What is it telling me?
I could use some help here.
Thank you.

Repair the system catalog database
The system catalog database is stored in the %windir%\system32\catroot2 folder, where %windir% is the folder in which Windows was installed. If the system catalog database is corrupt, you can repair it by using the Esentutl command-line tool. The steps for using the Esentutl command-line tool are included in the "Repair the catalog database by using Esentutl" section. If Esentutl cannot repair the catalog database, you can create a new one by following the procedure in the "Create a new catroot2 folder" section or the "Create a new catroot2 folder by using the command prompt" section.
Caution: When you remove the catroot2 folder by using the "Create a new catroot2 folder" section, Windows will automatically recreate it. However, Windows will not recreate the catroot folder if it has been modified. Modifying the contents of the catroot folder can cause your computer to be unusable.
To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
Repair the catalog database by using Esentutl
To repair the catalog database by using Esentutl:
Click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Accessories.
Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
In the command prompt window, type net stop cryptsvc to stop Cryptographic Services, and then press ENTER.
Type esentutl /p \System32\catroot2\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\catdb, and then press ENTER. By default, %systemroot% is located at C:\Windows.
Click OK to confirm that you should run this tool only on databases that are corrupt. If the tool reports that the database is corrupt, then you will need to empty the catroot2 folder, so that its contents can be rebuilt (as described below).
I GOT TO THIS POINT AND STOPPED.
Type net start cryptsvc to start Cryptographic Services, and then press ENTER.
Empty the catroot2 folder so that its content can be rebuilt
From the administrative command prompt, run the following commands:
net stop cryptsvc
md %systemroot%\system32\catroot2.old
xcopy %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 %systemroot%\system32\catroot2.old /s
Delete all contents of catroot2 folder but leave the catroot2 folder in place HOW
Restart the Cryptographic Services by running the following command: net start cryptsvc
Verify
You can verify the integrity of the security catalog database by using the Esentutl command-line tool.
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To verify the integrity of the security catalog database:
Click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Accessories.
Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
In the command prompt window, type net stop cryptsvc to stop Cryptographic Services, and then press ENTER.
Type esentutl /g \System32\catroot2\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\catdb, and then press ENTER. By default, %systemroot% is located at C:\Windows.
If the integrity check on the security catalog database is successful, Integrity check successful will be displayed in the command prompt window.
Type net start cryptsvc to start Cryptographic Services, and then press ENTER. | |

kudos:15 | I believe "Integrity check successful" would mean there are no errors. | |

kudos:1 | Thank you so very much auggy.
Since I installed that XPsp3 rootupd.exe (a Win32 cabinet extractor) on this Windows 7 64 bit laptop and got that CAPI2 error, I've been very worried about this.
Thank you for interpreting the results of esentutl for me.
Sincerely, Libra | |
