DISM Restore Health returns - The array bounds are invalid

Pratham · Aug 22, 2022

Hello,
Thanks for having this forum, i always refer this and it helps me a lot troubleshooting win issues.

I have a unique issue that I am seeing for first time -
I have a Win 2016 server, where we cannot install Defender.
It errors out with -

:43:50, Error CSI 0000000a (F) HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING) #7656# from Windows::ServicingAPI::CCSITransaction::ICSITransaction_PinDeployment(Flags = 0, a = a3d874599429ecb6a05e964bc86e8ace, version 10.0.14393.2999, arch amd64, nonSxS, pkt {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, cb = (null), s = (null), rid = 'Package_7587_for_KB4593226~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.5.4593226-15573_neutral', rah = '2', manpath = (null), catpath = (null), ed = 0, disp = 0)[gle=0x80073701]

KB4593226 is already installed.

When I run DISM restore health providing source as health server
Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:\\WorkingServer\C$\

It throws error - 1734 - The Array bounds are invalid

I am attaching CBS and DISM for reference.

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Open the Start menu of Windows and type the command CMD
When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, then press enter.

Code:

wusa /uninstall /KB:4593226

Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors. Or take a screenshot of the command prompt window and paste it into your next reply.

Hi,

Step 1. Start the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool again.

Warning: This script was written specifically for this system. Do not run this script on another system.

Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
Right-click on FRST.exe and select "Run as administrator".
Press the Fix button.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally.
When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

Code:

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
