Hello everybody.
I'm running Vista 64bits, and since long time ago, the "Turn windows
features on or off" dialog box appear always empty.
I run System File Checker (SFC.exe) tool with the sfc /scannow command as
mentioned in the kb 931712 but dint solve the problem.
The same kb told to make a system restore, but does not apply because the
oldest restore point I have is newer than the problem.

Anybody has an idea?

Navigate to key

HKLM\COMPONENTS
and check if exist the following values:

STOREDIRTY
PENDINGXMLDENTIFIER
NEXTQUEUEENTRYINDEX
ADVANCEDINSTALLERSNEEDRESOLVING
if you find anyone of them remove it

Check 'Windows Features dialog box or optionalfeatures.exe is blank or
empty in Vista' (http://www.winvistaclub.com/t22.html)

Maybe other unnecassary values in *HKLM\Components* cause this.See
figure which I attached and look at right panel:If you have apart of
them any other values in right panel->remove them

Question:What kind of DVD did you use to install Vista?DVD Vista SP1
integrated original by Microsoft or by using WAIK or you used vLite and
you integrated with SP1 for all languages this means with this
->'Download details: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 All Language
Standalone (KB936330)'
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2A-9C9B-4579-B64A-09146A0BA746&displaylang=en)
I had the same problem with the system created from DVD Vista
integrated with SP1 for all languages by vLite but contrary when I used
WAIK it wasn't this trouble,thus I ask you about it. I lost many time to
find this reason but I found were some errors in key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\COMPONENT BASED
SERVICING\PACKAGES
If it is not what I had try
