Has anyone discovered a definitive answer to this question - why does the windows component store get corrupted, causing updates to fail to install? Is there a common root cause? was there a previously installed windows update/CU that was known to have caused corruption? The nature of the corruption seems to invariably be missing files - the CU being installed, or whatever, looks for but cannot find a manifest, .mup, cab file or reg key, that is being referenced somehow by the update as a prerequisite for the update, and thus, it fails to install.
To have a forum dedicated to the repair of corrupted component stores seems to indicate that Microsoft has a pretty big problem, but they would probably never admit to any fault on their part. I have a suspicion that there's been more than one previous update/CU that caused component store corruption (I actually found one that stated this very fact in the known issues, but I can't recall which update that was.)
