Error 0x8000ffff on Windows Server 2019 Update Installation fails

Please open the Command prompt as Administrator and type the following pressing Enter after each command:

REG LOAD HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS
REG DELETE /v HKLM\COMPONENTS\StoreDirty
 
Please open the Command prompt as Administrator and type the following pressing Enter after each command:

REG LOAD HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS
REG DELETE /v HKLM\COMPONENTS\StoreDirty
Reg load works.
Reg delete commandline said "unknown keyword/keyname"
 
Let me check manually:

Retrieve Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to a file sharing service. Examples of services to upload to are Dropbox or OneDrive or SendSpace and then just provide the link in your reply.

I tried 3 reboots (no shutdowns) and the file is always in use.
Any other trick :D
 
Option#2 (only if you are unable to follow the previous instructions)



  • Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products
    You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
  • Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
  • Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
  • When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
  • This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
  • This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, one of which is named COMPONENTS.
  • Copy the COMPONENTS file to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
  • Now right-click on the COMPONENTS file that is on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
  • Then please upload the zip file (COMPONENTS.zip) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Filedropper or One Drive or SendSpace and then just provide the link in your reply.
  • You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBak program now.
 
Please go into your registry, check if your COMPONENTS hive is loaded (If not, run the first command (reg load) again) and refresh. Then click on it and delete the StoreDirty value on the right side.

That did the trick!
I could install the latest CUs

sfc /scannow found issues, which he couldn´t be repaired.
Could you check them ?

Righ now i`m going to revert the machine to the orignal error and try to fix the machine from the scratch.

Applied all fixes to the reverted VM and sfc /scannow is all clear!

Will append the fixes on the productive server this evening.
Will report back after its done
