is there a way to force install a KB/patch when SxS store is "corrupted" (since its modified) ? I don't care on what manual ways, I just want to know how as CAB files contain these 1kb files that make no sense, and bunch of them contain various UID's for registry and its all a mess .... or can I simply stiff MUM and MANIFEST files in their places and that would do it ?
Depends on how much its corrupted and the update contents there is no 1 kb files no, various registry entries controls the SXS components
So the regular dism /add-package:update.mum do not work for you? and you want to force the instalation of the sub-packages (the other .mum files)?
well with bit snooping, this didn't help either: DISM /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\Folder\KB.msu /ignorecheck so what am i doing wrong -_-
