Hi everyone,
There was a thread opened several years ago and I´m experiencing the exact same problem.
(DISM Error 582; SFC doesn't work)
Basically I can´t get Windows Updates to work. It looks like the components are corrupt but I can´t run the usual tools to fix the store. The specific error I´m getting is:
Error: 582
An invalid character was encountered. In the case of a multi-byte character set, this includes a leading byte with no successive trailing byte. In the case of a Unicode character set, it includes the characters 0xFFFFFF and 0xFFFE.
I read that one of the geniuses here created a specific script to repair this for the particular user. This is happening in our domain on several PCs, but I suspect they all have the same problem as they have the same image.
If somebody could help me solve this I´d be happy to donate. It´s driving me around the bend!
Best wishes,
David
