WebDAV Publishing and Redirector feature install fails

Hello.

Server Info: Virtual Windows Server 2019 ver. 1809 build 17763 fully patched hosted on Windows 2022 Hyper-V host

It is currently acting as an RDS server, all RDS roles installed with zero issues from that standpoint and has been in production for over two years.

Installed a new piece of software called NiceLabel and this software requires the WebDAV features installed.

Attempted to install both the WebDAV Publishing and WebDAV Redirector features from Server Manager and it fails with the following:

"The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.

Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed.

The referenced assembly could not be found. Error: 0x80073701 "

The 'Webclient' service is not present so I attempted to install just the WebDAV Publisher first, same error.

I ran SFC multiple times and each time it comes back clean, no issues

I ran DISM Checkhealth and it returns No Component store corruption detected

I have rebuilt the Windows Update store and updates is working fine

In the event viewer I see five 'Windows Error Reporting' Event ID: 1001

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Based on the description, I understand your question is related to install WebDAV feature fail.

    The error code 0x80073701 indicates that the referenced assembly could not be found.

    Try run below commands to scan and fix system files:

    sfc /scannow
    
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth 
    

    Then run these commands:

    net stop wuauserv 
    
    net stop cryptsvc 
    
    net stop bits 
    
    net stop msiserver  
    
    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old 
    
    ren C: \Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old 
    
    net start wuauserv  
    
    net start cryptsvc 
    
    net start bits 
    
    net start msiserver 
    

    Close Command Prompt and reboot your PC.

    After that, install the feature in cmd:

    dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-WebDAV /all 
    
    dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:WebDAV-Redirector /all
    

    Have a nice day. 

    Best Regards,

    Molly
