    i can't enable dot net 3.5 and it results in an error saying that the component store is corrupted. So i used DISM scanhealth and it said that the component store can be repaired . But after using Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth it says source files could not be found.

    Source to use for DISM on Windows 10


    This is not completely true. The suggestion is to download the Techbench version and use DISM to apply to install.wim directly. However, you can also use the version download from MCT except it will involve an extra step as follows:
    1. Use the latest version of 7-Zip to extract the content of install.esd. For example: to a folder xxx on the desktop
    2. From Admin command prompt:
      Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\xxx\windows /LimitAccess

    See screen shot, the contents of install.wim and install.esd are exactly the same.

  3. Extracting Zip Files


    Thanks pyramid10 for your contribution, I ensured that the steps taken and the source and destination folders were the same, in the using zip7 as suggested by BunnyJ resolved all issues for me.
    I am the first to admit that I am a long long way from understanding the intricacies of computers and if truth be told I am now to old anyway to absorb much information.
    Cheers.

    Source file corrupted

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.

    please share the details.

    • how are you installing the application( is it through DVD/ setup file downloaded to the computer)?

    This issue might occur if the setup file is corrupt..ask I would suggest you to download a new copy of the wondershare application.

    I would also suggest you to put the computer in clean boot and install, the wondershare application.

    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are happy to assist you.

    Thank you.
