corrupt manifests, windows update won't work, now apphelp.dll is bad?

It worked! It downloaded and installed KB3050265! (That's some kind of update to Windows Update Client, so I thought it might even be appropriate to install.) The road to recovery was long and bumpy, but (knock on wood) I think you did it!

corrupt manifests, windows update won't work, now apphelp.dll is bad?

I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of them were present before this happened. Do I risk screwing things up for the future by attempting to see if one will d/l and install via the online Windows Update? Or is it just that we could prove-out that these particular ones will never work properly via...

Should I maybe try one of the "Optional Updates" that are still listed (I would have to see which ones don't really mean that much to me)?

OK, all of them appear to have installed successfully. Now how do we figure out whether future Windows Updates will work? BTW: Do not let me sound ungrateful! You have been absolutely incredible helping me though this!!!

That's about right. Do I have to reboot between each one? IIRC, Windows Update won't let you install more updates until you reboot, but I don't know if we can batch them into one transaction or something so I can run them all at once? Or do we not want to "tempt fate"?

corrupt manifests, windows update won't work, now apphelp.dll is bad?

That worked too. One thing I noticed is everytime I search for the KB to download it seems to hit the page for Win7 x86 downloads. I have to explicitly go find the x64 version. Could there be something misconfigured in Windows Update where it's trying to download the wrong version of these...

That appears to have worked. It says it installed and I need to restart for the update to take effect.

OK, tried that. I ran it in "automatic mode" and then rebooted. Post-reboot I selected only the one update from the Windows Update list and it failed again. Code: 8024200D

Wasn't sure exactly HOW you wanted me to try the update. It was still showing in my Windows Update list (along with 10 others). I de-selected everything except the one you requested and it eventually failed. Attaching the two files you requested...

Can't get to the COMPONENTS file fast enough. Stuff must startup and get it. I could boot to the rescue disk and get it or export it (or portions of it). LMK which you prefer? I'll export the other stuff you asked for now. CBS Reg: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e85s6hennffeso8/cbs?dl=0

I will do that, but if you wanted the log before the re-run of SFC, it's in a post a few back. That was the most current that you asked for. Will run the latest steps now.
