SCCM 2111 Required Extension

Tried to make the RCT tools as a required extension now seem to be unable to launch ConfigMgr console. It opens tries to update the extension and then fails with Unable to install extension:99429045-5ed9-42f0-992b-d73f628e6131 because it is an invalid extension. Exception:Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.ExtensionInstaller.InvalidCustomExtensionException: Unable to validate 99429045-5ed9-42f0-992b-d73f628e6131:4.8.2110.5301 because Manifest doesn’t exists in the cab

I had to resort to updating a config mgr database table. I ended up doing

UPDATE [CM_ASD].[dbo].[ConsoleExtensionMetadata]
SET IsRequired = 0
WHERE ID = ‘99429045-5ED9-42F0-992B-D73F628E6131’

Now that I have access to the console again, I can’t seem to get the recast extension to install. I have tried deleting and downloading from the community hub. It’s strange to me I get a download error on the first attempt in the hub and then when i try again it says it already exists on the site. The UI log is complaining about Unable to install extension:99429045-5ed9-42f0-992b-d73f628e6131 because it is an invalid extension. Exception:Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.ExtensionInstaller.InvalidCustomExtensionException: Unable to validate 99429045-5ed9-42f0-992b-d73f628e6131:4.8.2110.5301 because Manifest doesn’t exists in the cab.

Hi there,

Hope all is well! Within your DB, please manually delete the Right Click Tools extension from the extensions node. Afterwards, please attempt to redownload Right Click Tools console extension from the Community Hub and let us know if you continue to run into issues.

Best,

Branden

Hey Branden,

I have tried deleting the extension from the node still having issues. I ended up installing the .msi file but I would still like to get the hub extension figured out.

Deleting the extension from the node should theoretically fix the issue by removing our extension from your database. Can you check your database after you delete it and confirm that our extension is no longer listed? If it is still listed, you will need to manually delete it. You should see a table called ConsoleExtensionFile in your ConfigMgr SQL database where you’ll need to remove any record of our extension GUID (99429045-5ED9-42F0-992B-D73F628E6131). Afterwards, please check the console install folder itself and delete our GUID folder if found. Once we have confirmed everything is removed, please redownload from community hub, attempt the installation again, and let us know if you encounter any issues.
