Hello,



sadly i have trouble installing Windows Updates on my Windows Server 2016 Standard.



I get this error in CBS.log: 0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING



I can’t install updates since at least May.

I rebooted serverall times, tried installing manaualy.

SFC /scannow – no problem

DISM /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth – no problem



Every try to update any cumulative updates failed with error: 0x80073701

Step#1 - FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download the attached fixlist.txt and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
3. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
4. Press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
5. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.

Afterwards, reboot when able and retry updates.

Hello softwaremaniac,
I ran the fix.
Sadly it stopped after 45 minutes.
I rebooted the server and tried the updates anyway.
It still won't install.
I searched again for KB4467691.
Attached are SearchReg and Fixlog.
Thanks again for your help

Greetings

Sorry for the late answer.
It worked.
Thank you so much.
The update installed fine and the update 2020-02 worked too.
I wasted so much time in troubleshooting this.
Thanks :)
