Error 0x80070002: The system cannot find the file specified RRS feed

  • Question

  • I am getting couple of errors all related to licensing. For some reason the Windows update reported a failure. Checked that the previously activated Vista Business 32bit OS is now unactivated for some reason.

    1) Ran the MGADiag tool and tried to export the copy the file it had an error "Failed to create output files, hr = 0x80070002. Please contact support."

    2) Tried to manually start the "Software Licensing" Service but had an error message "Windows could not start the Software Licensing service on Local Computer. Error 0x80070002: The system cannot find the file specified."

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    The Licensing Service was already set to Automatically. Next tried to start the service but had an error message "Windows could not start the Software Licensing service on Local Computer. Error 0x80070002: The system cannot find the file specified."

    Lastly, as suggested I downloaded and ran a scan using malwarebytes. Nothing was found.

    I can’t see anything wrong with any of the above output.
     
    Darin may have an idea as to how to proceed here – I would normally direct you to WGA Support for assistance.
    WGA Support can be found here-
    North America: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_genadv_master?ws=support&ws=support#tab4

    Outside North America:
    http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support#tab0

    Please let us know if (and how) MS manage to repair the problem without a repair install of the OS - it would be useful for future reference!

    Ignore the MGADiag error – it simply means that certain files could not be saved to the hard drive for some reason – the necessary data should still copy/paste without a problem.

  • To check the Software Licensing Service settings are correct.
     
    Click Start - All Programs - Accessories - Right click
    Command Prompt and choose Run As Administrator. Type (on one line)
     
    Reg Query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\slsvc
     
    and see if ImagePath is equal to
    %SystemRoot%\system32\SLsvc.exe
     
    The file must exist as the Display name is taken from the file. But type
    this to check
     
    dir %SystemRoot%\system32\SLsvc.exe

    We need the proper output - please try again, and IGNORE the error.

  • To copy the output to the clipboard append |clip to the command. That is the
    pipe character not an L, l, or 1. On my keyboard it is above the enter key
    and you use Shift and \ to get |.
     
    EG
     
    dir %SystemRoot%\system32\SLsvc.exe|clip
     
    will send the text to the clipboard instead of the window. So you won't see
    anything.

  • Noel is the expert on MGADiag output. I'll let him peruse your report.
     
    However what I suggested is the normal diagnostic steps for the problem you
    reported starting the service.

    The copy function using the pipe key worked. Below the ouput.

    Software Licensing service is not running.

     

     

    OK – the Licensing Service is not running (no surprise there)
    Have you been using any form of Registry Cleaner??
    First check that the Service is set to start Automatically – click on Start, in the Search box, type SERVICES.MSC, and hit the Enter key. Accept the UAC prompt, then look in the listing for the Software Licensing Service – right-click on it and select Properties. Make sure that it’s set to Automatic, and click Apply – then try and start the service using the button
    Once that’s properly set, Start the service – how long before it appears to stop again?
    Is there anything in the Event Viewer to indicate why it stopped? – is there an error message?
    Please run the following commands in an Elevated (Admin) Command Prompt Window, and post the results.
    sc qc slsvc
    sc queryex slsvc
    sc qprivs slsvc
    sc qsidtype slsvc
    sc sdshow slsvc

    copy and paste the results into your response. (click on the black/white icon top left of the window, click on Edit...>Select All, and hit the Enter key to copy the whole thing to the clipboard, you can then paste it to your response).
    Download, install, update and run a Full System scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (www.malwarebytes.org ) – remove everything it finds.
    does it find anything significant?

  • I rebooted the laptop and managed to start the Licensing Services. But it stopped straight after. Below logs from event viewer.

    SL Token Store 'Initialize' failed with error hr=0x80070002.

    Info: C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing\

    I can’t see anything wrong with any of the above output.
     
    Darin may have an idea as to how to proceed here – I would normally direct you to WGA Support for assistance.
    WGA Support can be found here-
    North America: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_genadv_master?ws=support&ws=support#tab4

    Outside North America:
    http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support#tab0

    Please let us know if (and how) MS manage to repair the problem without a repair install of the OS - it would be useful for future reference!

  • I just managed to fix this, however I had the error on a Windows 2008 32bit terminal server.

     

    I was getting the same error in the event log...

    SL Token Store 'Initialize' failed with error hr=0x80070002.

    Info: C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing\

     

    I took the tokens.dat file from the location

    C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing

     

    And pasted it into the location the error is referencing. The service started !

    Looks like a pathing issue somewhere, trawling through the registry for the paths, and the 'tokens.dat' filename gave no results..

    Thanks for that – this is a relatively rare error, so the more the merrier!

  • It is not the same problem. This is about licensing and your question is about downloading. Your downloading is failing.

    File not found is a error message that is specific to what ever. Each one is different and they aren't related.

  • Hi David!

    Glad to see you're still around :)

    Your comment does seem a little of a non-sequitor, however - there's nothing in this thread regarding downloading?

  • Hello Noel.

    It what his log shows. It tries to download some file.

    Have a look at this https://winsourcecode.blogspot.com/ for what I did before 11 months of disasters such as bushfires (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_Australian_bushfire_season which sent me to resuscitation at the hospital on 24/12) followed by Sars-Cov-2 made me unable to think for very long.

  • Thanks, David -- I see that he's deleted his original post here  :)

    However, there's not only that, but it seems he's running Windows 10 rather than Vista ;) - and his problem appears to be from Visual Studio rather than Windows itself... all in all, a total misfire :D

    Glad to hear you're on the mend - Hope you're isolating, in the present crisis!
