Note: I tried to use both GUI Server Manager and PowerShell, same issue.

    I had the same issue with installing IIS on a Windows Server 2019 Standard.

    244696-w2019-assembly-error-01-copy.jpg

    First, I run dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup command.

    244695-w2019-assembly-error-02.jpg

    Second, I run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth command.

    244689-w2019-assembly-error-03.jpg

    Both commands didn't help.
    Then in the %windir%\logs\cbs I opened cbs.log and searched for "error" and found these entries:
    2022-09-23 19:02:48, Info CBS Failed to pin deployment while resolving Update: Package_1192_for_KB5006744~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.9.5006744-2298_neutral from file: (null) [HRESULT = 0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING]
    2022-09-23 19:02:48, Info CBS Failed to bulk stage deployment manifest and pin deployment for package:Microsoft-Windows-IIS-WebServer-Server-Features-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.17763.1 [HRESULT = 0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING]

    I downloaded KB5006744 (windows10.0-kb5006744-x64_6032f22dd75a7fc3b8497896f656fc65ac7ea2a8.msu).
    Then I extracted files with expand -F:* C:\IT\windows10.0-kb5006744-x64_6032f22dd75a7fc3b8497896f656fc65ac7ea2a8 c:\it\cab command.
    Then I run dism /online /add-package /packagepath:c:\it\cab\Windows10.0-KB5006744-x64.cab command.

    244744-w2019-assembly-error-04.jpg

    Finally, successfully installed IIS.

    I hope it will be helpful for someone.

    Not really a PowerShell problem. A quick search turns up lots of hits on your problem, but the one cause that seems to turn up most frequently is one of the installed language(s) on the machine: solved-windows-feature-installation-the-referenced-assembly-could-not-be-found-error-0x80073701

    @iSudo

    The error 0x80073701 is error_sxs_assembly_missing, which means that there are some system files are missing, leading to the Windows update installation failure. you can tryn to run the DISM tool to fix the corrupted system files.

    1: Open Command Prompt

    Open the Command Prompt and run it as administrator. For detailed ways, please refer to the first solution listed above.

    2: Type the command

    In the pop-up window, type the command DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and hit Enter to continue. Also, you can use the command - DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /Startcomponentcleanup.

    Next, restart your computer to take effect and check whether the Windows update 0x80073701 error is solved.

    Hi iSudo-5699,

    Does your server is fully updated with all latest Windows Auto Updates ? if not then I would suggest you to first install all pending auto updates and then try again
