How to troubleshoot error 0x800F081F when installing roles and features

  • Article

I’ve seen a couple of issues now where customers are having issues installing roles and features, particularly the .Net Framework 3.5, in Windows 8 and Server 2012.  The general process is that you’ll have an application that needs the older .Net Framework and run through the UI wizard in an attempt to download the files from Windows Update.  If this fails, you’ll see the error with exit code 0x800F081F.  The means that we cant find a source for the files we need to install the feature you’re requesting.  So, how do you troubleshoot this?

  1. Make sure the source you’re using isn't corrupted.  If you have a download ISO from MSDN/TechNet/VL/etc, make sure that the ISO is good or try another source just to make sure.
  2. Make sure the component store isn't corrupted.  I’ve spoken in the past about the Inbox Corruption Repair feature (aka in-box CheckSUR) and it usually resolves a lot of these problems.  You can check your system for problems by running the command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth from an Internet connected machine.  Any corruption and repair operations will be logged to the CBS.log
  3. If you have a WSUS server on your network, use the /LimitAccess switch from DISM and install the component that way.  For example, for the .Net Framework, this command is: DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /Featurename:NetFX3 /Source:G:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess (where G: is the appropriate letter for the location of the DVD/ISO)
  4. Update your source media.  I reference how to do this in this prior post
  5. If all else fails, open a support ticket with us so we can take a look at your logs and determine what’s going on.

Most of the time, I’ve seen steps 1-4 (or a combination of them) resolve these types of issues.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have questions.

    k, then we'd need to see the CBS.logs to figure out the issue

    You have to make sure that you follow the steps above and that you aren't copying and pasting the command in when you're trying to add the feature.  I've seen most people hit this because of extra spaces in the commands.

    Andre's right, I'd need the entire folder in this case and I'd also be interested about langpack installations.

    That's the DISM PowerShell cmdlet, yes.  You could also do it in DISM if you like.

    also upload the CBS log folder. Have you installed a MUI? In this case the setup of 3.5 fails, you need to copy the sxs folder from a DVD which is the language you've installed or expand the MUI package (lp.cab) with expand into the Sxs folder.

    Ok, found your answer, apps are installed per user, so they need to be uninstalled a little differently.  We have documentation around this located here: technet.microsoft.com/.../hh852635.aspx Basically, you'll use Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers to list out the packages and then Remove-AppxPackage <PackageFullName> to remove it from the system.

    That looks PowerShell only? No DISM way to do it for All Users? :)

    Looking over the logs it looks like we're having a problem with the disk path which is why we're getting the invalid device.  Have you run CHKDSK on this volume?  I'm wondering if this is happening because of a bad sector or something like that 2013-01-21 18:32:05, Error                 CSI    00000084 (F) Volume serial # mismatch.

    Than you guys for your quick responses. I really appreciate it! I have uploaded the CBS folder (and the new DISM log folder since I tried it again after some moreattempts at repairing windows. - you will see that on the CBS logs) http://sdrv.ms/15Ms2VP Please, remember, restoring windows is NOT an option. I use this PC for application development as well, and I have already done A LOT of customization by my company (including some paid propriety software) which took ages (I had to send it over) again, many thanks for your help in advance!

    You mean outside of just uninstalling it in the UI?  Good question, for now, I'll just say I don't know.  Let me work on this a bit and I'll get back to you.

    Sorry, off-topic question: Is there any way to uninstall Store installed third party apps using DISM? dism -online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName: only seems to work for provisioned (built-in) apps that are part of the image.

    We resolved this by using dism.exe and using a capital letter for the drive letter for where the source files are kept.
