Tnaks a lot. IE9 starts to show its age and I really want to be able to upgrade to IE10. I am using Firefox as well but I want to keep IE as a browser.

No problem, we'll have you up and running in no time. You'll be glad to hear that, with the help of your data, I think I've finally found the cause of this problem! Now I need to confirm this with a few tests on my virtual machine before getting a fix posted for you.

Any progress? I am very curious to see what you found out. I usually resolve issues like this myself but this is well beyond my level of expertise.
Hi XYZ1234,
I've spent hours on end looking through your registry exports and comparing to what I think they should be. There are a few inconsistencies which I was very hopeful for when I post a few days ago but when I test these on my system, none of them have generated the error you face. I am currently in the process of setting up my virtual machine to be as similar to your system as possible - basically, I took your registry exports and incorporated them into my registry. The SURT now takes up to 6 hours to run as it corrects all of the problems! The last run showed this:
I haven't forgotten about you, it's just that this is a very slow processCode:Found 21652 errors Fixed 14130 errors

Thanks.
It is strange that SURT takes so long on your machine - on my two year old computer, it takes much less and finds not so many errors, I think (it is all in the log files but I forgot).
My machine isn't the problem, 4.5GHz and 8GB of RAM is plenty to run a VM, the scale of what I'm trying to do is the problem here. Say each error takes one second to fix, then 22000 errors is 6 hours and 6 minutes to complete. By forcing your registry into mine, the SURT is now essentially aligning the various files and registry keys in the best way possible as I will have plenty of registry keys for non existent files and vice versa :) Each run is getting faster, and improving though. I'm now down to ~7000 errors and it's flatlining at that number:
Fortunately, I now have some missing Winning Component Keys to work with!Code:Summary: Seconds executed: 5967 Found 7522 errors CSI Create Hard Link Failed Total count: 36 CSI Manifest Missing Total count: 3115 CSI Manifest and S256H Do Not Match Total count: 6 CSI Payload File Missing Total count: 4353 CSI Missing Winning Component Key Total count: 12
Far from a silly question :) I'm 99% sure this is a registry problem but it's definitely worth trying something with the catroot2 folder.
Hi XYZ1234,
I'm so sorry for the delay, I've been really busy over the past few weeks and completely forgot about this.
Would you mind re-uploading the two registry files please: Cannot install IE10 on Win 7 x64
I have about 4 components hives on my Desktop at the moment and I have no idea which one is yours!
