error 0x800f0831 when trying to install print server role. Server 2016

[triscint]

When trying to install the print server role on server 2016 it fails. This was not always the case. It can install other server roles, this was tested by installing the rdp server role. Uninstalling recent updates did not fix the issue. sfc scans keep showing corruption, sfcfix did not show any corruption. I have looked through the cbs log files and show multiple errors related to permissions, and missing files.

Here is some examples:
2018-11-29 14:51:10, Info CSI 000066fc Error - Overlap: Duplicate ownership for directory \??\C:\Windows\SysWOW64\F12 in component Microsoft-Windows-IE-F12App, version 11.0.14393.2457, arch x86, nonSxS, pkt {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}


2018-11-29 14:50:51, Info CSI 000065fd Error - Overlap: Duplicate ownership for directory \??\C:\Windows\SysWOW64\lv-LV in component Microsoft-Windows-Installer-Engine.Resources, version 10.0.14393.0, arch x86, culture [l:5]'lv-lv', nonSxS, pkt {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}




2018-11-30 10:00:38, Info CSI 00002b77 [DIRSD OWNER WARNING] Directory [l:32 ml:33]'\??\C:\Windows\Offline Web Pages' is not owned but specifies SDDL in component Microsoft-Windows-IE-OfflineFavorites, arch amd64, nonSxS, pkt {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}

So this might be a permissions issue.

Also in the system log, I found this error that lines up with the attempted times to install the roles.

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}
and APPID
{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

I have also tried installing newer windows updates but this did not fix the problem. The server is a VM so I was able to restore to a restart everytime one of my permanent possible fixes for the solution did not fix the problem.
Also, there are multiple CBS logs because of attempts of troubleshooting with more recent logs.

SFC Scan first.

here is the result of the most recent sfc scan

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Please run SFC Scan once more.

 

[triscint]

The sfc scan completed successfully with no corruptions.

But the print role did fail with the same error.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Excellent!

Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace
1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
2. Try installing the role just like you have in the past.
3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as it fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass on the toolbar as shown below.

4. Select the File menu...Save... and save the file to your desktop. This is likely the default location. The name (unless changed) will be LogFile.PML. This is fine.
5. Zip up and attach the LogFile.PML file as well as your CBS.log

I'm sorry, could you specify the file name for me? There are a lot of logs on the drive.

I'm sorry, could you specify the file name for me? There are a lot of logs on the drive.

it should be CBS(1).log everything else was manual named to create new files to help diagnostics sorting through the files but I did not want to get rid of the old data.
