The log file gives us no idea where the solution is to be found. :(
I'll post when/what I can - it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Latest Status

I ran SFC /SCANNOW and have uploaded the new CBS log here: https://app.box.com/shared/static/bojvsi7n03edmph92bav.zip

The scan found no integrity violations. However, when I attempt to run Windows Update, the service finds 5 important updates however they fail to install with 2 error codes:

  1. Code 80073712
  2. Code 8007371B

The 5 updates it is trying to install are:
  1. KB2962872
  2. KB2973351
  3. KB2952664
  4. KB2966583
  5. KB2973337

I've worked on the errors that I saw - now we have to cross fingers and pray.

I've uploaded a file - bbsaf.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
Please download and save it to your desktop.
Right-click on the file and select Extract All, and save to the default destination (which should be a folder on the desktop)

Create a new System Restore point

Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands.

DEL C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.OLD*
REN C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS COMPONENTS.OLD
COPY %userprofile%\desktop\bbsaf\COMPONENTS C:\Windows\System32\config

If you get an error with either command, STOP THERE - do not reboot! - post for instructions.

Assuming both commands go OK, reboot, and run another CheckSUR scan - post the new CheckSUR.log file.
Also run a new SFC scan and post the new CBS.log - assuming both are clear, please attempt the install again.

OK - with luck I've got'em all...



I've uploaded a file - bbsag.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
Please download and save it to your desktop.
Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
Save it to the default location
This should create a file bbsag.reg

Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command

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

You should get a 'success' message - close the window

right-click on the bbsag.reg file, and select Merge
Accept the warnings, - you should then get a 'Success' message.
Close all windows, and reboot.
Then run another CheckSUR report, and post the log.

Did you get 'success' messages? - the CheckSUR log shows the same errors.

I'll post a datagathering request later once I've managed to get my head around it.

Yeurgh! :(
I just realised - there are over 5000 entries potentially missing, from the first error in the log, alone!

I don't think I have any alternative but to give up a manual repair as a lost cause. :(

That being the case, all I can recommend is a repair install.
