Hello Joseph, sorry to hassle but do you have an eMail address for me to send these logs to as I am keen to resolve this (without resorting to FORMAT C:!)

Thanks.

SkyDrive is usually a good way to do it, you can also email them to me.

OK, scratch that, found the CBS log. points to a side by side store corruption: STATUS_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT

But no idea how to fix that?!

How can I best get these log files to you?

Certanly, what is the best way of me getting them to you?

I know where the DISM log is but where do I find the CBS log?

P.S. I have searched around for this problem, and so far the only solution any forum comes up with is "Format C:"! All the usual (SFC/scannow, Win Update reset, even In-Place upgrade/Refresh) are reported to not work for one reason or another...

Send me your DISM and CBS logs and I'll take a look

Hmmm, nice idea but in my case it isnt working out well. Bearing in mind "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" is supposed to fix any corruption, the response I am getting isnt ideal:

Error: 14098

The component store has been corrupted.

Any ideas?
