[SOLVED] Fail to restore DISM image 0x800f081f

Windows Server essentials 2012 R2

I'm having issues with installing .Net 4.8 that we need for our accounting software on the server. Windows update has 4 failed updates all to do with .NET (have been failing for a couple years now but never cared until recently). Everything else updates in windows update, just not the .NET updates.

I have tried running DISM /Online /cleanup-image /restorehealth also tried loading the base ISO for 2012 R2 and running DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:f:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess. But that generates the Error 0x800f081f. Windows Update fails with error: 0x80073712

I tried running SFCFix and it had a failed to repair anything.

Hi

Please do the following.

Retrieve Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to a file sharing service. Examples of services to upload to are Dropbox or OneDrive or SendSpace and then just provide the link in your reply.

Hi

Please do the following.

Step1- SFCFix Script

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

1. Download SFCFix.exe (by niemiro) and save this to your Desktop.
2. Download the file below, SFCFix.zip, and save this to your Desktop. Ensure that this file is named SFCFix.zip - do not rename it.
3. Save any open documents and close all open windows.
4. On your Desktop, you should see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCFix.zip.
5. Drag the file SFCFix.zip onto the file SFCFix.exe and release it.
6. SFCFix will now process the script.
7. Upon completion, a file should be created on your Desktop: SFCFix.txt.
8. Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of this file into your next post for me to analyse please - put <> tags around the log to break up the text.

Once completed try windows update again to see if the .net update installs and attach CBS log if it fails.

The updates have installed in windows update without failing this time. Pending restart (in a couple hours when people leave the office) fingers crossed it will complete during boot without issues. I will keep you informed. Thanks for your help so far!
