Windows 7 CheckSUR unavailable manifest files

In my list of installed programs there was VS 2005 PE, with a very recent install date but no filesize or version listed. An error message said in may have already been uninstalled. So why is it there?
I then moved to VS 2012 Express, and uninstalled it.
Did the same with VS 2005 remote debugger, then VS 2012 express for web.
I don't want to remove SQL Server 2005 because it is needed for an essential program whose installation I don't want to mess up.
Uninstalled VS Studio Code
That left 18 important updates.
Couldn't uninstall VS 2010 x64 redistributables because crt_x64.msi not found. It doesn't exist anywhere else on C:.
The ticked all 18 important updates, and let the machine get on with it. It did all but 4.
I now had 6 important updates including the 4 failed. This is the smallest number to date! This number became 7. Did the newest one; VS 2010 security update for C++ SP1.
Although this last said that the update had succeeded it was still there in my current list. Should I have restarted?
Today, 11:35 local time. Tried updating all 7 at once.
Two worked, 5 failed.
Restarting - will report back later.
 
Reboot - 7 updates all attempted - 2 succeeded, 5 failed.
Tried again with these 5 - all failed.
Tried yet again with these 5 - all failed.
So I now have 7 to do:

I don't know why two 'successful' updates are still on the list.
Any suggestions please about trying these in a certain order, one at a time?
 
I have now tried to update each of them separately, without success. What puzzles me is that I had a list reduced to 5 a couple of hours ago, but now I have 7. Even the ones I successfully updated either re-appear or stay in the list, for example the second of the VS 2010 updates shown below:

Does the list take a long time to refresh? a reboot didn't make any difference.

Replace Components Hive

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

  1. Download COMPONENTS.ZIP and save it to your desktop.
  2. Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
  3. Now we have the COMPONENTS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
  4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
  5. 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.
  6. Take the file from the Components folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config
Let me know if the hive was replaced or if there were any errors.
 
OK thanks, I've replaced the components hive like you said, without problems or needing a restart.
What next please?
 
I went ahead and tried installing all 7 remaining updates It reported 3 successful, 4 failed.
Ran it again; this time it said it was installing 3 - why not 4?
Finally all 4 failed, but the list of outstanding updates is now 6, as follows:

I did not reboot after each of these exercises.
 
Try to install KB4516065 only again.

Thank-you. I've donated a further $25.
The instructions above were successful. I'm now left with just 4 updates, as shown below, but these won't update. I tried uninstalling SQL Server 2005, but it seems to be already uninstalled, in that it's listed in the programs list without a date.

What next please?

Try to install KB4516065 only.

It didn't work. Here is the CBS log (NB last updated 12 h ago -I thought it would be more recent than that).

Remove Update Manually
  1. Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt.
  2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
  3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, then press enter.
    wusa /uninstall /KB:4536952
  4. Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors.
 
The response, after searching for updates for a minutes, was that this update is not installed. I see that this update is a Servicing Stack update, not one of the four outstanding updates to be done.
