| Thanks for the comment. I made this a very long time ago, so I could see how that could happen, but I thought I used it successfully on 64bit systems. Do you know what version of windows this was? | |
 |
|
| This action wasn't working properly on any of our 64-bit systems. After some troubleshooting I discovered that it was because the action uses the 32-bit version of sfc by default, so we had to turn wow64 redirection off. To fix, simply add this line to the beginning of the action: action uses wow64 redirection false | |
|
|
| I updated the relevance to be more generic to add support for windows 8. This may now be relevant on some machines that it should not be, but it should be unlikely due to the other checks added. | |
