\"80070002<\/p>\n
For example, you may get the above error when running the following command:<\/p>\n
Dism \/Online \/Cleanup-Image \/RestoreHealth<\/pre>\n
As the DISM tool is inoperable, you may be unable to install any Feature Update on your computer. For example, the Windows 11 22H2 Feature update setup may throw the error 0x80070002. The error message reads:<\/p>\n
We couldn't install this update, but you can try again (0x80070002).<\/pre>\n

Error 2 (0x80070002<\/code>) means “The system cannot find the file specified.”<\/p>\n
Cause<\/h2>\n
The DISM error 2 occurs if the dismhost.exe is blocked from running by setting a Debugger in the “Image File Execution Options” (IFEO) registry key. The debugger value prevents DismHost.exe and TiWorker.exe from starting.<\/p>\n
Solution<\/h2>\n
To fix DISM Error 2, follow these steps:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Launch regedit.exe<\/code><\/li>\n
  2. Go to the following branch:\n
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Image File Execution Options\\dismhost.exe<\/pre>\n
    \"dismhost.exe<\/li>\n
  3. Right-click dismhost.exe and choose Delete.<\/li>\n
  4. Exit the Registry Editor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Additional Information<\/h3>\n
    This IFEO entry for dismhost.exe<\/code> was probably set by Malware. Or, if you’ve used tools such as “StopUpdates10” in the past to block Windows Update, the following IFEO \u2192 Debugger\u00a0entry is added.<\/p>\n
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Image File Execution Options\\dismHost.exe] \r\n\"Debugger\"=\"*\"<\/pre>\n
    The wildcard (*) causes DISM to look for dismhost.exe on non-existent locations on your hard drive. It then generates the “Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.” error.<\/p>\n
    I hope that helped. Let’s know your comments.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
