Problem with sfc /scannow

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

Have a look at the Reg_Sz strings;
"SourcePath"
and
"ServicePackSourcePath"

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

(note that these paths ahould be one level above the \i386 folder)

Your suggestion has already been applied but the Windows CD is always
requested. My guess is that the CD is requested because the distribution
D:\I386 does not have sub-folders lang\tha, lang\jpn, ...
