Please help find missing file

[Alacrity]

Does anyone have the following file:
amd64_microsoft-windows-ie-ieshims_31bf3856ad364e35_10.2.9200.16618_none_c55a59dc0ab65697.manifest
it is located in the windows\winsxs\manifests folder.

My windows component store is corrupt because this file is missing and I don't know how to fix it without this file.

Thank you
Kobus

It refers to a dll file (IEShims.dll) for Internet Explorer.

You could either re-install Internet explorer or manually import the dll by doing a regsvr32 command.

I have the dll but not the manifest file and to fix it CheckSUR needs this very specific manifest file.

My manifest files have different names and folders.

That manifest file is dynamically generated I think so you are unlikely to find someone else with the same file name.

My Windows Component Store is now working like it should and IE11 installed, finally

So share your solution.

So share your solution.

PART 1 (this you can do regularly, before update Tuesdays probably a good idea)
1. from elevated command prompt run: sfc /scannow
2. Run CheckSUR: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /scanhealth
if this was the first time you ran CheckSUR do a windows update also since Windows will then update CheckSUR. And if there was errors it might now be fixed. The status is reported in c:\windows\logs\cbs\CheckSUR.log

PART 2 - if you still have issues like I had
1. Check the CBS log file (c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log)
2. There is probably a missing file which can be found in one of these updates: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin
3. Extract the package by (check the last . or give other dest): expand -f:* [downloaded file] .
4. Add the packge: DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:[the .cab file]

The install should now work.

PART 3 - clean up
Do windows disk cleanup and make sure the "Clean System Files" is run to remove old version from the winsxs (windows side-by-side) folder. This also uninstall superseded packages.

Why would you want to use IE?

I have a good example. I prefer firefox, but battlelog isn't so great with firefox. I only use IE for battlelog.

I have a good example. I prefer firefox, but battlelog isn't so great with firefox. I only use IE for battlelog.

That's why I use Google Chrome for Battlelog.

Too much resources, Firefox is better
