It looks good so far and is atleast downloading the updates now. :thumbsup2: Just out of curiosity, may I know what was the issue and is there any way to avoid it in future? Marked thread as SOLVED :wave:

What I do know is that the header of the Components Hive becomes corrupted, it can be 'fixed' by loading the hive with Regedit on Windows 7 or using a tool like the Hivex.
