I'm getting the same error as the OP in this thread. I'm following the instructions there and in this thread.
I'm down to the point where i boot into Safe Mode and run com_fix.bat as administrator (have also tried running CMD as administrator and running com_fix.bat from there.).
I get the same error (see below) as mcclaigg in his posts near the end of the second thread mentioned above but his fix (running the Ghost install from the cd as administrator) isn't working for me.
This is the output i get from com_fix.bat:
"C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-com-complus-runtime_31bf3856ad364e35_6
.1.7600.16385_none_b5bfb0b8ee629431\R000000000001.clb
1 File(s) copied
[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service."
Can anyone help me figure out which missing service is keeping me from doing the COM fix?
