When trying to install a program that worked with the 1511 version of windows 10, but now with the anniversery release it now has this error. I am struggling to find any thing, any ideas appreciated?

Hi,

Considering that the service file is corrupted or missing.

Please run following commands as admin to do the repair:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
SFC /scannow

If you still cannot get this service back to run, let's replace the service file manually by these steps in this kb:
