I have a Windows 8.1 PC that I had to install Rutoken Drivers utility on. Apparently older version uninstall has done some damage to Windows driver store and now I receive a 1603 Windows Installer error whenever I try to install the package. I have narrowed the problem to installing/uninstalling drivers via pnputil
returning error 13 (0x0D) with the description "Invalid data". What data is invalid is beyond my comprehension.
The trouble is that now I cannot install any driver, and either pnputil
or its wrapper or underlying API call returns the same 0x0D error in my face. I have tried sfc /scannow
with zero errors, dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
- 1 "payload corruption" and failure repairing that "corruption" with 0x80240021 (timeout downloading from Windows Update - the affected package does not exist in there).
Searching Google did not return any additional possible actions. I have even tried to manually remove all registry entries that include the info on these drivers along with all the files in both %SystemRoot%\inf and %SystemRoot%\system32\DriverStore\FileRepository, this resulted in drivers officially being uninstalled, thus I receive 2 less errors while installing that package, but the main problem persists. I am out of options barring Windows reinstall, but this is yet not allowed because of sensitive payload running on the server.
Is there any way to repair the metadata in Windows 8 driver store?
UPDATE: Relevant portion of setupapi.dev.log
follows. This is the part with the first recorded error:

This part is what happened at reinstallation of Rutoken Drivers:

Since then every install/uninstall fails with 0x0000000D.
Answer
The apparent answer is no, you cannot fix the driver store. Ended up reinstalling Windows just for that.
