2023 H+B install repair path broken

[since95]

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 23H2
Installed on ‎12/‎7/‎2023
OS build 22631.2861
Serial number 5CG34815HX
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.[removed].0

This TT H+B issue was discovered when prompted by failures of online update. Attempted a prophylactic install repair to take install corruption off the table. REPAIR INSTALL path offered on install screen fails with complaint "file '_yek.fxttwdfw_wdf_smrof' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'Data1.cab.' " Attempted this multiple times.

2023 H+B installs successfully from CD. 2023 H+B uninstall then install succeeds. A scratch re-install after uninstall succeeds. So, the REPAIR INSTALL path is broken for lack of a dependency.

Regards.

You will have to contact Support if you're experiencing an installation issue.

This was a good sanitarian notice to Intuit.

The workaround is do not use the REPAIR INSTALL function. Instead, Uninstall then Install accomplishes the same goal of refreshing a possibly corrupt install.

Don't you hate spell check ? correct word **Samaritan**

Then again, given the particular product meta-bug reported, "an official responsible for public health" still fits, don't you think?
