How to fix - error code 80073712 - windows component store is corrupt - after successfuly installing system update readiness tool for windows vista.

Hi ,

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods. For these methods to work, you must be logged on to your computer by using a computer administrator user account.

Method 1: Run the System File Checker (SFC.exe) tool with the sfc /scannow command
Although this method sounds highly technical, it is really a straightforward process that even the less experienced user can do. System File Checker merely makes sure that all system files are where they should be. The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

This method is rated: Moderately easy
Estimated time: 5-10 minutes
To run the System File Checker, complete these steps:
1. Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
2. In the results area, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be prompted to type the password for an administrator account. Click Continue if you are the administrator or type the administrator password. Then, click Continue.
3. At the command prompt, type Sfc /scannow, and then press ENTER.

If this method doesn’t help, then goahead with other steps and check if that helps.
