Hello,
Do you have SP1 installed?
With some file corruptions in the OS, SFC would fail like the error message
you are reporting.
Particularly when there was manifest corruption.
The following tool attempts to fix manifest corruption
947821 Description of the CheckSUR update for Windows Vista and for Windows
Vista for x64-based systems
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;947821
After you get SP1 on the system, SFC is more tolerant of corrupted files
that could cause the issue and continues on.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
