  Hi Everyone

  I have INSTALL.WIM extracted from Windows Server 2012 ISO and I added .net framework 3.5 package in the image.

  I apply this image to couple of servers (applied ServerStandard with Full Gui)

  I can switch to Core from this installation using UnInstall-WindowsFeature command.

  When I try to switch back to Full Gui mode using Install-WindowsFeature server-gui-shell, it always throws this error. I tried using -Source and pointing to different sources like local copied sxs folder, WIM file etc. without success.

  This happens on a complete fresh build, without modifications.

  PS C:\Users\Administrator> Install-WindowsFeature server-gui-shell
  Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.
  Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed.
  The component store has been corrupted. Error: 0x80073712

  Has anybody experienced this issue and can help?

  TIA
