DISM error 0x800f081f

[phillywells]

When i run sfc /scannow, i get an error stating that it found errors, but it was unable to fix them, so I decided to run the DISM tool. I get this error and I've made sure that I've enabled component installation and repair in the group policy settings,so I know that that isn't the problem. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

check - contact windows update to download repair content

 

[phillywells]

Ok. I did that and ran it , but I still get error 0x800f081f

This is one of those few times I'd recommend reposting this somewhere else, specifically SysNative. They deal with these sorts of things many times a day, it seems, and the experts are there:
Windows Update - Sysnative Forums

If you do end up getting things fixed, please post it here so others can find it during search. Thank you!

 

[KYHI]

can you post a snapshot of the dism error

 

[phillywells]

Sure

I have not seem the /source switch used in that manner before

you need to point to a mounted install.wim folder

Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:\Image\Install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:\Mount

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:D:\Mount\Windows /limitaccess

this program will look for the setup media's install.*** and run the SFC and DISM commands
it was tested using the media created by > Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help

Ok, thanks. I'll try that and I'll post what happens after it completes

Ok I mounted the install.wim, but when I try to use the Windows folder in it as a source, I get this:




And if this matters, when I try to get the install.wim file from my windows installation DVD using RESTOREHEALTH v2.zip, I get this:

 

[cluberti]

That would indicate the WIM file didn't pass CRC validation. Where did this WIM come from specifically?

My windows 8 installation dvd. Should I try and mount an install.wim from a fresh ISO?

 

[cluberti]

You want to try and get a Windows 8.1 with Update (from November/December 2014) ISO if possible, as you're likely patched at least to that point.

What about the one from the windows media creation tool? Shouldn't that be up to date?

 

[cluberti]

I don't know, actually - I'd have to download one and check.

yes the MCT creates service build 17415

the dism log tells you what is causing the error

there are two MS updates causing the error - due to hash a mismatch

Thanks for the clarification, KYHI .

Ok, I got the ISO for my edition of windows and everything but when I open it, I go to find the install.wim and it isn't there. Any idea whats wrong?

By the way, is there any idea why it says it can't find the repair source when I try to use the /Windows folder from my mounted install.wim?

These other posted link explain the problem, caused by windows update

the setup media contains an install.esd
the repair source \windows\winsxs folder does not contain the source files to repair the image

 

[phillywells]

The CBS log shows a lot of DIRSD owner warnings and "Ignoring duplicate ownership for directory". So Im guessing thats all part of the problem caused by windows update?
