.NET 4.0 Causing Issues On Server

Hi,

I'm currently working on Windows Server 2008 R2 Systems and keep getting the following error message when trying to run ANY application:

"The Subsystem needed to support the image type is not present"

I can't even get into Add/Remove Programs, Windows Updates, etc...Almost all the services that are supposed to start Automatically won't start either. I believe our issue has to do with .NET 4.0 that got installed recently. There are some files missing from that folder as compared to other systems that aren't having this issue. I can't uninstall .NET 4.0 or do any of the repairs that are out there because when trying to run ANY .EXE I get that error message stated above.

I believe this is a new error message out there because I've search in length on google and what not and have found nothing at all.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If that doesn't work try running sfc /scannow

Hi,

I've tried running the following command:

start /w ocsetup.exe ServerCore-WOW64

And I get the following error message:

I have already tried running the "sfc /scannow" command. It finished all the way through and tells me changes are pending and needs a reboot. Also to re-run that command after reboot to see if it can fix the errors. I've done this many times already and still no luck.

Thanks

Try running this ocsetup NetFx3 and ocsetup NetFx4

Hi,

I ran the "ocsetup NetFx3 command and it went through fine I believe. I then ran the NetFX4 command and waited a little and got this error message:

Just realized you were running Full version which the command is not related too.

run this dism /online/get-features

Hi,

I found the command I believe:

dism.exe /Online /Get-Features

When I run it it starts to display a lot of information that goes off the screen. I try to scroll up to see where it started and it only goes up a little. What information am I supposed to be getting from this?

Thanks

See if you have WOW64? I don't think this is going to be it since you are running Full version. Seems like you have corruption within the OS.

Have you run virus scan on this?

Hi,

I'm not able to install anything so I can't scan for viruses since the AV was removed. I've already ran the sfc /scannow multiple times and have rebooted the server from it, it keeps saying the same things over and over again.

hm.......

Thanks
