Unable to Install Desktop Experience Feature

Hello,
I'm configuring a 2012 R2 server as an RD Session Host.  Whenever I try to install the Desktop Experience feature, I get the below error.  This happens both from the GUI and from PowerShell.  The feature is listed with an Install State of
"Available" in PowerShell.  I've tried specifying an alternate source path by pointing to the WinSXS folder on another 2012 R2 server with the same feature installed, but I still get the same error.  Rebooting has not helped.  On the
problem server, I'm able to install other features without issue.  
Has anyone else ever ran into this issue before?
Thanks.
Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.

Hi MDDDD,
Please also check the event log and find the relevant error or failure information.
In addition, we can specify the source file to a side-by-side store (referred to as SxS) in installation media or to a WIM file in the "-Source" parameter of the cmdlet "Install-WindowsFeature":
installation media path:
D:\Sources\SxS\              
To specify a WIM file, add a WIM: prefix, and add the index of the image to use in the WIM file as a suffix, as shown in the following example.
WIM:\\server_name\share\install.wim:4
You can find the Index of the image file by typing:
dism.exe /get-imageinfo /imagefile:\\server_name\share\install.wim
For more detailed information to install feature, please go through this article:
Install or Uninstall Roles, Role Services, or Features
If there is anything regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

  • Can't Install Desktop Experience on Server 2012 - Sources problem

    Hi Guys,
    I have been struggling to install the Desktop Experience (Which includes Ink and Handwriting Services) feature on a new Server 2012 VM, and I haven't been able to.  It always says it can't find the sources ("Do you need to specify an alternate source
    path?"), even though the DVD image is readily accessible to the server I try yo deploy this to (the same server where I tried to add the feature from).
    I think I have tried pretty much everything (From UI through Server Manager, to PowerShell and DISM), and I get "The source files could not be found".    
    My preferred method would be the UI one, but I still can't figure out what I am missing.  The Server 2012 image is available on the server directly (through Hyper-V CD mount). 
    I know that by default, Windows will try to use Windows Update to get the feature files from (if no offline location is specified), but for some reason that one fails too.
    I tried using as a source location (My understanding is that the files are inside the WIM): 
    -    WIM:E:\Sources\Install.wim:2
    -    E:\Sources\SxS\
    -  Mounting the WIM in a folder on the C drive through DISM, and reference that path in the "Add Roles and Features screen"
    And of the countless times I've tried, I always get "The source files could not be found. Try installing roles, role services, or features again in a New Add Roles and Features Wizard session, and on the confirmation page of the wizard, click "Specify an
    alternate source path" to specify a valid location of the source files that are required for the installation. The location must be accessible by the computer account of the destination server."
    I have rebooted the server, and I have made sure the DVD image is available (by opening the E drive on windows explorer and browsing through the installer folders.
    As a side note, on this server I also installed .NET 3.5 from this same offline source, by referencing "E:\Sources\SxS\" as the install source, and everything went just fine.  Still not sure what I am missing.
    Thoughts?

    Thansk Yan!  
    That clarifies why try to install it was failing.  However, I have some other questions:
     - How did this happen (This OS was installed from the regular Server 2012 Standard - Not Server Core that was converted to the GUI version)?. 
     - How can I fix it (Make Desktop Experience be listed as "Available") ?
    UPDATE: 
    I tried installing the Desktop-Experience feature through PowerShell but this is what I got:
    PS C:\Users\administrator.MF> Install-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience -Source WIM:D:\Sources\Install.wim:2
    Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.

    C:\WIM\Windows\WinSxS>Dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:D:\Sources\Install.wim /Index:2 /MountDir:C:\WIM /ReadOnly
    And ran the install feature again, now pointing to the actual WimSxS folder (as described here:

  • Does installing Desktop Experience on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 slow down the server / increase processor usage?

    Hello.
    I'm running a tekkit classic (Minecraft) Server on a dedicated server I got from OVH, Im just wondering - Im currently using ClamAV for an antivirus, But I would like windows defender.
    Im wondering if installing Desktop Experience on my dedi would increase processor usage or slow down the dedi even slightly.
    System Specs:
    RAM: 32GB DDR3 ECC 1600MHz
    CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1245v2
    HDD: 2x2TB SATA (Both used, specified as different drives)
    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
    Theres only 1 indev tekkit server currently running on there, Im getting 0-5% processor usage. I may be setting up more modpack servers  - but im wondering if installing desktop experience would increase the processor usage or slow the dedi down.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I test this powershell command line on my Server 2012 azure VM, the Desktop Experience install successful, so, maybe there is something wrong with the function that use a PowerShell Script as a Startup Task, please have a look at below document.

  • W2008 : Installing Feature "Desktop Experience"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install the "Desktop experience" feature on my windows 2008 server but the installation get stucked on 10%, whatever I use the GUI interface or powershell.
    All updates are installed.
    I can't find any log about that ...Any idea about a solution ?
    Regards.

    Hi infoada33,
    1. Open “services.msc”, check “Windows Module Installer”, let me know the “startup type” of it.
     2. Change the startup type to “Automatic” if it was not.
    3. Backup and delete the PendingRenames folder and its contents in
    C:\windows\winsxs\temp
     5. Backup and delete the pending.xml file from
    C:\windows\winsxs\ (If any)
    Note: please check this in command line as it was a system/hidden file:
    Dir /a /s 
    C:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml
    Base on my experience it some times occur when System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection installed on 
    the server. After uninstall Endpoint the feature successfully installed, then reinstall the Endpoint.

  • Installing Adobe Flash Player on W2K12 R2 without Desktop Experience

    I am trying to get Adobe Flash Player installed using some type of stand alone installer rather than enabling the Desktop Experience feature of W2K12 R2. Enabling Desktop Experience had undesirable performance degradation, so I am looking to just run a stand alone installer.
    I've spoken with Microsoft and they say this is not a Windows limitation, but rather something Adobe is not allowing. I've tried stand alone instalers for Flash 11, 12, and 13. 11 and 12 saying IE already has Flash built-in and 13 finishes installing, but is not shown as a plug-in in IE.
    Has anyone had any luck getting Flash Player without Desktop Experience? Any thoughts are helpful.

    Win2012, like Win 8, has Flash Player embedded into IE by Microsoft. The ActiveX plugin cannot be installed from any download here. There is a Windows Update KB patch and two registry keys that prevent it. Unless you manually remove those, the only way to do anything with Flash Player ActiveX for Win8 or Win2012 is through Windows Update.
    Those losers in Redmond (or India) only told you to get it fixed here because they REFUSE to accept responsibility for the gabrage browser they shoved down everyone's throats with IE11.
    If you're in a corporate environment and cannot use another browser, then the best you can do is repair IE (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378) and run Windows update again.
    If you need the "standalone" Flash Player Projector, it's here: Download the Windows Flash Player 13 Projector
    If you need the plug-in for other browsers, it's here: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    But there is no updating the ActiveX plug-in from here, in spite of what Microsoft told you.

  • Missing PC Settings after install of Desktop Experience

    I managed to installed the desktop experience and after a restart the option to change PC Settings was available.
    However, after running Windows updates and installing these the PC Settings option has now disappeared.
    Can anyone help please.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Unfortunately, it was a fresh install and there were 30 odd updates installed.
    None of the updates failed so its almost impossible to say which if any may have casued the problem.
    You mentioned about disabling and re-enabling the feature, could you advise where I find this so I can check it out.
    Also on the metro style display the PC settings icon is still there but when you double click it, it fires up then dies.
    Thanks for you help.

    Service "Apple mobile Device) failed to start. 
    Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    I am trying to install it on my desktop.  I am also in Administrator mode.  My iTunes stopped working when I was notified that there was a new version of iTunes and would I like to download it. I said yes as always and it was unable to finish the update because of a
    runtime Error!
    Program: C:\program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contace the application's suport team for more information.
    My iTunes stopped working at this time.  I thought I could delete iTunes and start over. This tactic did not work.
    Can anyone make sense of what I am saying and help me to get my iTunes back again?

    Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    I'm unable to install I Tunes. I get a message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailble". How do I solve this? Thanks.

    I am having the same issue for itunes.msi (iPhone 4S and Windows XP)
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Hey there Mambo822,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after installing a recent update. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:

  • Windows 2008 Server R2 - Unable to install MPIO features

    Hi everybody,
    We encounter an issue with a physical Windows 2008 R2 server.
    When we try to install the MPIO features, the system fail the installation :
    Multipath I/O Installation failed
    Attempt to install Multipath I/O failed with error code 0x80070643.
    Fatal error during installation
    And no other operation is possible into the server manager before server was restarted.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Lionel Leuba,
    This error can caused by many reasons, the typically reason I found as below.
    The HP MPIO DSM manager may cause this error when you install MPIO, you can uninstalled the HP MPIO DSM manager and uninstalled powerpath from device manager and reboot the
    server.
    When you are using EMC PowerPath first but there must install MPIO and Visual C+++ Redist before you setup the EMC tools.
    The WMI issue, please run the following cmdlet to fix the WMI.
    sc config winmgmt start= disabled
    net stop winmgmt /y
    %systemdrive%
    cd %windir%\system32\wbem
    for /f %s in ('dir /b *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %s  
    regsvr32 %windir%\system32\tscfgwmi.dll         
    wmiprvse /regserver                                            
    Winmgmt /regserver                                            
    sc config winmgmt start= auto
    net start winmgmt
    for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %s
