Egads, that is an obscene amount of registry corruption. You may be better off just backing up your data and doing a clean install. The only other thing I can think of would be to see if there is a shadow copy of the Software hive that has an intact Component Based Servicing key, and try to restore that.

ok thanks , how do find the shadow copy.

Can any expert help me with this or is my only option a complete reinstall. Out of interest how does the registry corruption occur.
Barry
I will defer to the SysNative team for that, as they may have an automation they can provide to do that. I'm much more accustomed to performing repairs by hand on Windows Update problem units.
My guess is that the Component Based Servicing\Packages key got completely hosed, as all the errors seem to point to missing packages in the registry, and that is the key that contains them there.
