A Repair install should not be traumatic, but I also
don't know if it will work.

Part of the installer logic is "Migration". You would
think they would create WinSxS from scratch, and that's
the part I'm not sure about. Manifest files, presumably they
help any "scan" of the folder, determine what is supposed to
be there. Again, you would "think" a DISM run could repair that,
and somewhere there must be a list of what should be there.

It would be pretty silly if it was a house-of-cards, and
one missing manifest would mean a Clean Install. Just the
existence of the folder, should be sufficient to identify
what the material needed is, in terms of a library or
module revision. Part of the process is security
related ("papers, please") and perhaps security was
more of a priority than making it work.

We'll see I guess.

You get to be an Important Experiment :-)
