When you’re installing Windows 10 operating system, there are two images you’re using: boot.wim and install.wim. These are located in Windows 10 DVD or ISO file at location \Sources\. The purpose of boot.wim file is to boot your Windows machine to Windows PE (Windows Preinstallation Environment), and purpose of install.wim is to install complete Windows 10 operating system. By default there is no change in install.wim file, so IT administrators or end users need to do initial configuration.
Sometimes companies or end users need to install Windows 10 with installed proper drivers, enabled Windows features, or they need to add new packages or preconfigure Windows 10. Microsoft publishes a lot of deployment tools, some of them are integrated in Windows ADK (Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit) and some of them are indentpendent software solutions.
One of deployment tools is DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management). The DISM is command line tool which allow you to mount Windows image file (install.wim) and do image servicing including installing, uninstalling, configuring and Windows update. DISM is a part of Windows ADK (Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit) which you can download on Microsoft website at this link.
Sometimes during servicing Windows image, your image can be corrupted, and one of the errors end users are getting is Error: 14098, The component store has been corrupted, because of this issue several windows built in features stop working.

net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
net stop appidsvc
net stop cryptsvc
- Delete qmgr*.dat file, which is created and used by BITS service. You need to type the following commands at a Command Prompt.
Del “%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat”
- Restart your Windows and try to do image servicing by DISM
- In case steps you tried didn’t solve your problem, you need to do some aggressive mode of the fix, by renaming software distibution folders and resetting BITS service and Windows Update service to the default security description. For this task you need to open Command Prompt with Administrator privilege (step 1, step 2 and step 3).
