Hi,

When ever I tried to install roles in windows server 2016 we get below error. Our servers are in Virtual Machines.

Server are hosted in Hyper V. I tried to get resolved by removing the language pack from registry and again try to install roles but we get this error again.

Can any one suggest me solution for this.

Unable to add role in VM as getting error "The reference assembly could not be found. Error 0x80073701."

    Hello,

    "0x80073701" means "The referenced assembly could not be found".

    We recommend you install .NET Framework 3.5 with DISM to check if the issue be solved.
