Hi Will,
Open the start menu, type regedit in the box and press enter. Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE once to select it, then click File > Load Hive. Find the COMPONENTS file that you wish to view, then load it, assign it a name that is anything but COMPONENTS. It will now appear under HKLM where you can browse through it. When you are done, click on the hive then click File > Unload Hive.
That file is much, much better! Everything seems to be in order there.
Navigate to: C:\Windows\system32\config and rename COMPONENTS to COMPONENTS.old (if it won't let you, reboot and try again). Then copy and paste the COMPONENTS file from your backup into this location. Reboot, then run the SURT and post the log please:
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log
