I am trying to install IIS on a Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC laptop. The version is 1809.
I used Control Panel --> Programs and Features --> Turn Windows features on or off
When I click on IIS and OK, I then receive the message:
The referenced assembly could not be found
Error code: 0x80073701
When I clicked on the link to fix the error it took me to a page that didn't even contain that error code. It took me to one about .NET Framework 3.5 (which is already installed). I downloaded the file so I could reinstall 3.5 but the program wouldn't launch at all.
Other software has been installed successfully, but a Windows Feature will not install. Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas how I can fix this?
Oh, and I'm logged in as a local administrator.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
