[SOLVED] 2016 Defender Install

[Mike Z]

Hi,

I am getting the problematic defender installation issue. Looking in the CBS, I believe this is the culprit:

2023-06-08 14:16:26, Info                  CBS    Failed to pin deployment while resolving Update: Package_7587_for_KB4593226~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.5.4593226-15573_neutral from file: (null) [HRESULT = 0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING]
2023-06-08 14:16:26, Info                  CBS    Failed to bulk stage deployment manifest and pin deployment for package:Package_624_for_KB5025228~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.7 [HRESULT = 0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING]

Could someone kindly assist? Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,


Step 1. Follow these instructions to remove an update.

• 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.

wusa /uninstall /KB:4593226

• Let me know if it says it was successful or you get the message: The update KB4593226 is not installed on this computer.

Step 2. Upload a copy of the CBS folder

• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\Logs folder.
• Right-click on the CBS folder and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
• Click on the Yes button here.

• Attach the file CBS.zip to your next reply.

Hi,

Download the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:

Download the 64 bit version: - Farbar Recovery Scan Tool Link

• Open the startmenu and type the command cmd.
• After you find the Command Prompt, right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
• Copy and paste the following into the Command Prompt and press enter.

reg load HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\COMPONENTS

Right-click on the file FRST64.exe and choose Run as administrator.

• Copy and paste the following (code) into the Search box and click the Search Registry button.

KB4593226

• When the scan is complete, a message will display that SearchReg.txt is saved in the same folder FRST was started from.
• Post the logfile SearchReg.txt as attachment in your next reply.

Thanks again for the help. Attached is the searchreg file.

Start the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool again.

• 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.

Fix ran, log attached.

Perfect, please reboot the server and try to install Windows Defender if it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

 

[Mike Z]

Works! Thanks so much, you saved me so much time rolling back patches lol

Just for future incidents, do you just take the log and add that CreateRestorePoint: and the delete value to everything in the log? I think I have one more I need to do this to.

 

[Maxstar]

You're welcome. Glad to hear the problem is solved.

The directive CreateRestorePoint: is set by default, but SystemRestore it is not available on servers like regular Windows 10 versions so you will see this message: Error: (0) Failed to create a restore point.

Creating a fixlist from the SearchReg result is a little bit complicated, so I would suggest to post the CBS log of the other server and I will provide a fix for that server as well.

 

[Mike Z]

Gotcha, thanks again so much - I'll post the new CBS in this thread.
