[SOLVED] MSMQ-Server :: referenced assembly could not be found :: 0x80073701

tbj · Aug 9, 2022

Hello Forum,

I faced a problem that totally drives me crazy and I do not know how to fix it.
But first things first:

I want to install Windows Optional Feature MSMQ-Server on windows Server 2019
Neither GUI, Powershell nor DISM worked to install the feature:

They all fail with message: The referenced assembly could not be found.

Investigating the dism.log I can see the following:

Any idea?
This topic is so frustrating... :/

tbj · Aug 18, 2022

Maybe delting some packages manually or anyting like that?

Maxstar · Aug 18, 2022

Hi,

Open the Start menu of Windows and type the command CMD
When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, then press enter.

Code:

wusa /uninstall /KB:5000822

Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors. Or take a screenshot of the command prompt window and paste it into your next reply.

Step 1.
Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

Code:

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

tbj · Aug 22, 2022

Hi Maxstar,

Thank you very much for your advise and help!!!
Finally, the DISM Command finished successfully:

I attached the SFCFix.txt file.

The MSMQ-Server Feature now could be installed successfully!!

Again, thank you very very much! :)
This saved me a lot of time and work and fixed a very hard problem.

Best regards,
Toni

PS: Is it possible to generate the SFCFix.zip and the fixlist on my own for the future? What do I need (to know) to create them?

Maxstar · Aug 22, 2022

Hi,

You're welcome. Glad to hear you were able to install that feature now without any issues..

tbj said:

Personally, I would not recommend that to create scripts for SFCFix or FRST yourself. This makes it more difficult to solve the problem if the script does not work or is incomplete, etc.
