Server 2012 - Can't Re-install .NET, Cleanup-Image Can't Find Source Files

[jsanders]

A little history: Our web developers were having issues with a new application that was throwing an error basically saying that .NET wasn’t fully installed, but it was. We tried to remove .NET Framework and add it back in. The server is Windows 2012 R2 server and once we removed .NET Framework we could not boot to Windows (GUI) or to Safe Mode. We eventually got the GUI/PowerShell restored with:

DISM.exe /image:C: /enable-feature /all /featurename:NetFx4 and

DISM.exe /image:C: online /enable-feature /all /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell.



We were still not able to open Powershell to run the next recommended step (Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra) but were able to run:

DISM.exe /image:C: /enable-feature /featurename:Server-Gui-Mgmt /featurename:Server-Gui-Shell /featurename:ServerCore-FullServer.



We wanted to re-install .NET Framework, but cannot get it installed. The ASP features are “staged” but not “installed”. To resolve the issue we tried running:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth – The component store cannot be repaired.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth – The component store cannot be repaired.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - Error: 0x800f0906. The source files could not be downloaded.


We also ran SFCFix, and received the similar results.

I've attached the CBS log. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: DISM.exe /image:C: online /enable-feature /all /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell should have been: DISM.exe /image:C: enable-feature /all /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell

Hello jsanders,

The DISM repair detected one file which needed replacing:

I have created a fix for this and checked that it has the expected file hash.

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. Attach this file into your next post for me to check please.

That seems to have worked. Please make sure DISM restorehealth now completes successfully.

If you still get errors please post a new CBS logfile.

DISM still errored out.

There do not appear to be any errors in the CBS log. Which DISM command failed?

Please also try SFC /scannow and post new CBS logs

It failed on the /RestoreHealth command. I re-ran everything just in case, and received the same error:

The restore operation failed. Either the repair was not found or the component store cannot be repaired.

Error: 0x800f081f

I also ran sfc /scannow, but no integrity violations were found.
