Tried many things, still error 800736B3

Try again - that means that the hive is currently loaded into the registry, and it should automatically unload. Sometimes this fails for a while but it should eventually happen.

If not, boot to Safe Mode, and try the replacement from there.

So we're one step further along the line :) - the 0x0000007B errors are now missing from the logs.

Please run a CheckSUR scan and post the new CheckSUR.log file - it may be able to fix the remaining errors, or I may have to do it manually.

I get this when trying to run sfc. My reg key is good (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir) and did not have a backslash. This command doesn't work either: sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows

We're not attempting SFC at the moment - just CheckSUR from the file you downloaded for the Windows Update Posting instructions.

You say that this registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir - is correct, but it doesn't exist on any of my systems.

The offline SFC command you attempted cannot work from within Windows - it can only be used from the Repair environment or another OS.

Please run the CheckSUR tool again and post the new log.

Some interesting errors there....
from the update log....
Code:

2013-04-08 09:25:16:245 1008 77c Agent   * WARNING: Exit code = 0x8007370B

So the root update problem appears to be that the system can't evaluate the install status for the Update Agent
This may be because of what we see in the CBS log...

That's actually not very difficult to fix - but it is fiddly without CheckSUR's aid :(
The error actually lies in the registry.

Please upload your C:\Windows\system32\config\components file (probably around 40MB) after compressing it - not that it's likely to be too big for the forum, so you'll have to upload it to a fileshare site such as SKydrive or DropBox and post a link.
Then I'll check through it as much as possible, and send it back - hopefully fixed :)

I've uploaded a file - test2kmy.zip - to my SkyDrive at Noel's SkyDrive
Please download and save it.

Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all....
This will place a new folder test2kmy in the same place - with one file inside it... test2kmy.reg

Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command

REG LOAD HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS

now right-click on the test2kmy.reg rile, and select Merge.

Accept the warnings - and you should get a 'success' message.

Now in the Command Prompt window, run the following command

REG UNLOAD HKLM\COMPONENTS

reboot

once rebooted, run the CheckSUR tool again, and post the new CheckSUR.log file.

Also - what happens if you now attempt to run SFC /SCANNOW from an Elevated Command Prompt?

This is how the Command prompt for the 'REG LOAD command should have processed....

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>reg load hklm\components c:\windows\system32\config\componen

The operation completed successfully.

Please try it again - do you get the same response or not?

If you do, try the Merge again.
