I wonder which components are needed for encription malwares to work....
Try Linux Mint, its the easiest of all in my opinion.
No, I backed everything up to an external HDD, COMPLETELY ERASED THE DISK, REPARTITIONED, installed linux, scanned all the files (took me WEEKS) and deleted the infected ones. then I reinstalled windows (default), and without internet access, installed ntlite and recreated my image then reinstalled the PC into useable state.

I'm assuming you mean the C++ redistributable? If so, this can happen because some applications are written for a very specific version, which can include the security updates too. To clarify, take this made up example: C++ 2005 might be version 1.0, but there could be 2 security updates making it version 1.1 and 1.2, and then a service pack update making it version 1.3 -- some finicky applications that work on one version won't work on another, even though they're all 2005. I've come across this a few times while playing games over the years. The other culprit might be that you installed only the 32 or 64 bit version, and may need to install the other too. What is the specific program that has the problem?...What's weird is that I still have that error message when running a specific program but other ones are fine.
I've had the same experience with W10, and I tried every solution on this forum and elsewhere, went through all the rufus stuff, etcetera, with no clear fix. I ended up finding a workaround for my issue by tweaking various bios options, such as disabling Secure Boot, disable UEFI, messing with boot order stuff, and so forth. But there's still clearly a bug in my bios that gives me grief during the install process and so my boot order for USB and SSD drives gets ignored in several circumstances, requiring me to manually override it in a similar manner that you are having to do too. I didn't have this problem in the past, but that was because I was always using an optical drive to install via a DVD. I think for some people like myself, the newer Windows are just exposing pre-existing bugs now that installing from USB is more popular....I don't have this problem in other PCs with the same USB devices and Windows 11 installer image I'm having in this PC. What can be the cause of this problem?

Also, make sure you get your redistributables from official sources to avoid malware:

I think you misread my replies. I quoted the questions I was replying too. I wasn't trying to solve the 000005 error. It is probably best if you make new threads for these other issues, because it's all starting to get jumbled, too many different questions in one thread.
I want to save you time and headache. Just backup your important documents, do a clean install using an official, untweaked ISO, then see how everything else goes from there. Trying to work backwards is only going to take longer and be more difficult. Delete the partitions during the Windows Setup phase and your infection issues should go away.
Don't attempt to put your potentially infected files back again, until you're sure the computer is clean and in working order, then go scan those files while they reside on an external drive, or via the cloud like crypticus suggested, etcetera.
I think the main issue here, is you've got multiple issues, and so you have to hack away at them in layers, but in order to do that efficiently you need to start fresh first since it sounds like malware is going to fight you the whole way if you don't.

Internet nasties can infect a usb keys own control software so any infected drive is junk and should be binned.I would not expect Rufus to have any viruses either.
Backup your important files, .exe's zips etc to dvd/bluray media or a data disc iso.Floxif can infect other EXEs (and as far as I know, only EXEs, no media files), and from my experience with it, it starts by the MRU list. In my case it infected Intel GPU drivers, among others.
NTLite doesn't have any viruses, you wouldn't be the only one to experience it, there are literally thousands of active users, since 2014.
You can use virustotal.com to scan it.
Btw, if you used a cracked version at any point, I cannot guarantee it wasn't tampered with. Always download only from the official page (ntlite.com/download) and confirm the SHA-256 hash if in doubt.

Keep searching, use some antivirus to scan your computer, make an ISO on another clean PC and reinstall yours to begin with, then run nothing without an antivirus for some time.

The solution I used, and which worked for me was to backup everything, install linux, scan all files and delete the infected files then reinstall the system. Nothing else worked, and I spent nearly a month on it. So it isn't NTLite or Rufus fault, even if the files you have are infected, they were infected IN YOUR SYSTEM. Its just how floxif viruses work (I had E, H and I variants).

On a number of occasions dvd backups have gotten me out of crap creek.

this was discussed, u might want to use search for your questionsNuhi, I have a question.
Like you know, when installing a CU, the components removed by NTLite come back (and possibly the policies and maybe other things too set by NTLite are removed too).
What would happen if one installs a CU and forgot to use NTLite's Remove Reinstalls feature to remove the returning components, then installs a newly released CU and finally uses NTLite's Remove Reinstalls feature? Would the components still be removed or should one always use Remove Reinstalls after installing each CU?
EDIT: This time I copy pasted the Windows 11 image's content to the USB flash drive and I still have this problem so is it NTLite's fault?
