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.

I've uploaded a file - bbsae.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\bbsae\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.

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

 

[NoelDP]

OK - please upload the COMPONENTS hive again - the CBS data indicates there is still corruption present - and I'll see what I can do with it.

Thank you Noel!

 

[NoelDP]

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.

Latest Update

Hi Noel.

The Windows Updates are still failing with the same errors. It looks like the CheckSUR picked up a few issues that it couldn't fix.

Here is the latest CheckSUR log file: https://app.box.com/shared/static/9a9cwskz5fmq3wt5dyeo.log

Here is the latest CBS log file: https://app.box.com/shared/static/yvfqtmdfa9p0301ww7c8.log

Not too bad - I'll try and find time to work on these this evening.

 

[BobsterWat]

Thanks Noel! I just want to emphasize again that I really appreciate all of your effort in resolving these issues! I am in your debt sir!

 

[NoelDP]

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.

Latest CheckSUR Log

Hi Noel.

I followed the instructions as requested and uploaded the latest CheckSUR log file here: https://app.box.com/shared/static/ecikg5o0y75p2kt6jeuo.log

 

[NoelDP]

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.

 

[BobsterWat]

I did indeed get the success messages when I completed the requested steps.

 

[NoelDP]

OK, let's see what's actually in the registry there now - please upload your COMPONENTS hive again, and I'll see what I can do with it.

Latest Registry Hive

Hi Noel.

Here's the latest copy of the registry file: https://app.box.com/shared/static/k2tp5lb63dyrwebanhpe.zip

 

[NoelDP]

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.
