Windows 7: Missing Deployment Key - cannot install SP1

I've run the update readiness tool numerous times and it fixed all but one error the first time w/no effect the other times:



I have run Fix It and had no effect.

When trying to run the update pkg it says it is already installed and I don't know how/if it is possible to force a re-install.

Here is the CBS log error:

Checking Component Store
(f) CSI Missing Deployment Key 0x00000000 95e8e9ef6bc..e830f5996db_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.20797_c558dc586ed83c80 HKLM\Components\CanonicalData\Deployments

This appears to be KB2388210 that did not install properly from looking at the registry key entries, looking backwards from the Components\Derived Data\Components to the Canonical Data\Catalogs entries.

No trace of it in Deployments.

Is this simply a registration issue that can be resolved easily?

What can I do?

Thanks,

Brad

Please followthe Windows Update Posting Instructions and post the requested results

error code from Windows update:

80073701

sfc /scannow got no errors

CheckSUR found one error
There are some other errors in the CBS logs - but I can't find any trace that an SFC scan has been run.

Please try running one again, and post the new CBS.log file

After SFC /Scannow with no errors...

SFC may not have found any problems, but it did a fair amount of work at the same time.

The registry error I highlighted above appears to be related to KB2388210

Please follow these instructions carefully - registry mistakes are easy to make, and difficult to correct!

Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands.

... ooops - forgot to ask you to post the results, and how to do it!!
