Hello,

i am trying to install Defender on a 2016 Server.

What happened so far:
1st try it didn't work with the mentioned 14081. Sfc founf errors that couldn't get fixed. Dism restorehealth didn't work either until i pointed to a different server with the same patchlevel. Sfc und Dism restorehealth don't show any problems now.
But ... still the same fault. Tried to rum the install with dism commands pointing to a mounted install.wim. Same resault :-(

Thanks for your help

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

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.
Code:
wusa /uninstall /KB:4598243
  • Let me know if it says it was successful or you get the message: The update KB4598243 is not installed on this computer.
 
Hello, thanks for your help!

It says that this Update is not installed on this computer. (And unfortunately this KB isn't availible for download from Microsoft any longer)
 
Hi,

That's right, this update is pulled from the update catalog. Please do the following.

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.
Code:
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.
Code:
KB4598243
  • 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.
 
It's running since 40 Minutes now - is that normal?

Would it be a good idea to execute in a administrative Powershell the following command?

gci "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\PackageDetect" | ?{$_.PSChildName -like '*KB4598243*'} | remove-item -Recurse -Force
 
Yes, please let FRST run and do nothing else when it's still running.
 
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.

Great, please try to install the Defender Feature again and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

Not installed. I started the scantool with the search term KB5004948 - I will post the result once it's finished.
 
Please ensure the COMPONENTS hive was still loaded into the registry! reg load HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\COMPONENTS
