Windows 7: Windows 7 update fails and Windows not genuine message is appearing

Tom,

Rest those tired eyes. It will wait.

Hi Louis,

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you. The last few items that I have to fix are being a little troublesome, so I'm broadening my research and have started looking at the computers of other kind SF members to see if they have the registry keys/values that you are missing. I need to get my head down now, but I might be able to get a fix out for you tomorrow!

Will keep you posted.

Tom

Tom,

Thanks for the heads up. I know that this problem has been out of the ordinary and really appreciate your help.

Thanks again.

Louis

Hi Louis,

Thanks to a few SF members, I've managed to source quite a few other components hives to check. I've just realised that the COMPONENTS hive of yours that I'm currently working on is a week old now so it would be much safer to work from your current one. I doubt anything has changed, but it's not worth the risk to be honest.

Would you mind uploading your COMPONENTS hive to your Dropbox please?

C:\Windows\system32\config\COMPONENTS

Thanks.

Tom

Tom,

Here is latest components file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/eruskrdvrpyyrmt/components I notice the date remains the same as the first one that I sent you 7-10 days ago. Is that as it should be?

Louis

Tom,

When I sent the last post with the components hive, I opened it from the link above and it looked very garbled. I deleted it from dropbox and I am now having trouble getting the file into dropbox. I will keep trying.

Louis

Tom,

Here is the the components file.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eruskrdvrpyyrmt/components

As I said before, I notice that the date does not change on the file. Is that OK?

Louis

Hi Louis,

Don't worry about the date, I don't know why that's happening, but this is definitely a different file!

Please can you follow method 2 of this tutorial to load your components hive for me:

Accessing the COMPONENTS sub-hive | niemiro's Website

Then I would like you to download the attached file, Fix.reg and save this to your Desktop. Double click on this file then accept the prompt and this will be merged into your registry.

After you have done this, reboot your computer, run the System Update Readiness Tool and upload the log please:

C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

Tom

Thanks to niemiro for the fix!

Tom,

Here is the latest. Sorry for the delay. Missed this last night.

Louis

Hi Louis,

No problem, my reply was a lot more delayed than yours!

Great! What was 4 errors, is now 2 - nearly there!
