troubleshooter error code 0x80070002

Thanks RogerR. I'll look through and try out some of those tomorrow.

Tried all the suggestions in that link, RogerR. Reinstalled .NET even though I already had the latest one. Rebooted after that and the powrshell commands also. Tried running Windows update and still getting the same 80070002 error. Running sfc /scannow from elevated prompt still giving me the same error:

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

I found some seemingly sound advice about how to fix part of my problems which is that sfc won't run which may also be directly related to why windows update also fails. I found that in this thread:
Windows 7 update error 80070002 - the story of a fix.

After reading that thread, I tried running sfc /scannow and located the source of my 80070002 error. In the CBS.log, it shows that it can not find the value of this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\DerivedData\VersionedIndex\6.1.7601.17592 (win7sp1_gdr.110408-1631)\ComponentFamilies\amd64_microsoFt-windows-p..-localspl-licensing_31bf386ad364e5_none_05bb766c7c3a33fa\v!6.17600.1685

Sure, enough when I try to view the key or delete it or anything else to it, it gives this error:
Error Opening Key.

I have tried to edit the registry by running PSTools from an elevated prompt but it gets the same errors. Something very odd about that whole branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\DerivedData\VersionedIndex\6.1.7601.17592 (win7sp1_gdr.110408-1631)\ComponentFamilies

There are literally thousands, if not tens of thousands of similar named keys and they all get the same error when trying to expand them.

Any thoughts or helpful ideas are needed. I am hoping I can find a way to kill these bad reg entries so that I don't need to rebuild this system yet.

Cheers,
lrw

p.s. if there is a better forum topic that deals with bad registry stuff, let me know.

additional notes

I have tried renaming, deleting the registry keys with numerous tools, such as psexec, registrar registry manager, runassystem and no joy. All get errors trying to rename or delete these keys. I am about to throw this box somewhere soon. Also tried PC Hunter.

Same details of problem - currently can run windows update or sfc /scannow. Both show errors in CBS.log which point to a very bizarre issue with my registry l- missing file, which I can see but it won't let me rename/delete it no matter which super tools I have tried.
