An ISO can be found by asking friends and co-workers if they saved the 8.1 installation media when they went from 8 to 8.1, installing windows 8 in a virtual environment and grabbing the files when you update the environment to 8.1, or on a software forum.
Error: 0x800F0922 when installing KB 2919355
This error may appear for multiple reasons. Some common causes are VPN clients and an unexpected System Reserved Partition size.
Try removing any VPN Clients and attempt the update again.
You might be able to fix this problem by using third-party software to increase the size of the System Reserved partition.
If you have tried both solutions and you still experience Error 0x800F0922 please contact Microsoft Support so that we can further investigate your issue.

2014-06-03T15:47:34+00:00 I have the dism restorehealth component store error (was able to download update) but I can't do a repair install because I can't seem to get the Win 8.1 iso. I tired following the directions but because my Toshiba has OEM product key for Windows (attempting to download retail 8.0 first). So I can't even start the process to get the 8.1 ISO because my 8.0 product key is tied to an OEM version. Maybe I'm beyond my abilities here, but I can't even do a in-place repair install.
Microsoft needs to take ownership over this and hopefully release fixes next week. This is getting ridiculous - Windows 8/8.1 has been a nightmare.

2014-06-03T15:32:38+00:00 That's wonderful that you asked... Where pray tell is this media then? It's not only NOT available from Microsoft, you have no idea if they will release said media, and common sense dictates that if they haven't released it as of now, they're probably not going to.
It seems from many of your opinionated posts that you hold Microsoft on this holier than thou precipice. Do you really believe you're the only moderator or experienced Windows user to ask this of Microsoft over the past 2 months? As of today, most, if not all, Microsoft employees who are moderators are still posting for consumers to "Refresh/Reset" instead of doing a repair install (which has been around since Windows XP).
I deal in reality, not faith and hope... I'll leave that to you and others. Since this media is not available to consumers through Microsoft, are you seriously implying that end users need to wait for Microsoft to release an ISO that will more likely never come and sit patiently waiting while Microsoft blocks them this week from any further patches to 8.1? This is like trying to explain evolution to a bible thumper... it's absurd.
EDIT:
If this was week one, possibly week two, and you had posted the above, I'd 100% agree that we should give Microsoft a week or two to see if they will... however, this isn't week one or two, it's almost weekfourteen. Microsoft has done more at this point to misinform end users than helping them and to believe that days before the cutoff of all further patches Microsoft is going to change what it's been doing for the past 14 weeks and have a change of heart is not only absurdity and being naive, it represents a belief not even remotely grounded in reality.

2014-06-03T15:25:29+00:00 That's EXACTLY what I said in my post. Please see below since you obviously didn't bother reading what was actually written...
"It comes down to wanting to solve the issue orcreate a bigger problem *by wiping the drive, installing 7, going through the OEM driver installs, restarting after each one, installing Internet Security software, restarting, installing the hundreds of windows 7 updates, restarting multiple times, then finally reinstalling any software and restarting after each individual install. All told, a clean install takes a minimum of one day to do properly, and that's without installing any software.*Which is why I view this as an irrational and illogical response to the KB2919355 issue."

2014-06-03T14:11:48+00:00 It's for this reason that I'm asking Microsoft to release media. I have a better solution. Asking Microsoft to do the right thing and fix the problem.
Asking consumers to jump through these hoops, compute sha1 values? I'm sorry this isn't the TechNet forums, this is the answer consumer forums. If it takes these level to service this operating system then it's not consumer friendly.
Thank you Susan! There are too many different UEFI configurations out there to deploy Windows 8.1 without ready access to Media for licensed users. For the fortunate, ie. those that Microsoft took into account when they developed and tested? the update, it may work with minimum damage. For the rest, they wind up with a corrupted partition structure or corrupted operating system files that cannot be easily repaired. The Windows ecosystem is not the like the Apple IOS ecosystem. We can't do things the way they do.
