[SOLVED] CSI Missing Winning Component Key (Windows 7 Ultimate)

Any · Nov 13, 2021

Hello!

Some programmes cannot be installed due to an error in the component store.

SFC reports Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

But CheckSUR.log contains error record

Hello and welcome,

Provide the Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again. Note: If you find that you need to reboot and are unable to because this is a server then try Option#2 below.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to Filedropper or WeTransfer and just provide the link here.

Option#2 (only if you are unable to follow the previous instructions)

Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products
You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, one of which is named COMPONENTS.
Copy the COMPONENTS file to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
Now right-click on the COMPONENTS file that is on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
Then please upload the zip file (COMPONENTS.zip) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Filedropper or WeTransfer and then just provide the link in your reply.
You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBak program now.

PeterJ, thanks for your reply.

I compressed the file using 7-zip and uploaded to Droppy - Online file sharing

Is Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.7523 shown in the list of installed programs ?

Any · Nov 15, 2021

PeterJ · Nov 15, 2021

Do you have a downloadlink ? I cannot find one.
If not, uninstall it.

Any · Nov 15, 2021

Done!

PeterJ · Nov 16, 2021

Start the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) again.
On completion, attach the logfile C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log to your next reply.

Any · Nov 16, 2021

The log is attached.

PeterJ · Nov 16, 2021

As you already uninstalled Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.7523 we can remove the affected key.

Warning: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Do not run this script on another machine.

Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:
64-bit: Downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
Right-click on FRST64.exe and select "Run as administrator".
Press the Fix button.
The tool will now process fixlist.txt.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

The Fix completed successfully.
