Registry Database Corrupt - Possible Components hive issue

cjtechie · May 7, 2021

Attempting to install .NET 3.5 and getting errors stating Registry Database is corrupt. I have tried DISM and keep getting error 1009. The DISM log shows 0x800703f1 as an error code on multiple lines. This is a Win10 machine so SURT is not an option.

Here are the CBS logs.

Also looking at the CBS log, I am seeing errors related to the Components hive so that is here.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Replace Components Hive Manually

!!! WARNING !!! The following fix is only relevant for this system and no other, applying this fix on another computer will not work and most likely will cause problems...

Download COMPONENTS2.ZIP and save it to the Desktop.
Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
Now you have the COMPONENTS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
Right-click on the current COMPONENTS file and select rename. Rename it to COMPONENTS.bad.
Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
Take the file from the Components folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config
