How to fix 0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING when installing SNMP service windows 2019 Server

Question

Hi,

We have a Windows 2019 Server in production and we are not able to install the SNMP Feature.

we are getting this error:

0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING

Followed all posts and documentation,

Clearing cache, to Installing Cumulative Update, Running DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth / sfc /scannow

all completing with no errors, but still we won't be able to install the SNMP and get the same error. We are not able to do in-place upgrade, not for now at least. I am looking to see if I can install FOD, but I am not able to download this from anywhere. Can someone please help me where to download or find this?

Is there any alternative way to fix this?

Thank you,

Ben

Found the solution

Instead of using the online version, I have mounted Windows 2019 ISO and installed it using the following command, where X: is the drive you mount the ISO into.

Install-WindowsFeature -Name SNMP-Service -Source X:\sources\sxs
