ERROR_RECOVERY_FILE_CORRUPT
The recovery artifact cannot be trusted to reconstruct the package
ERROR_RECOVERY_FILE_CORRUPT concerns data retained specifically for package recovery. Windows cannot use that artifact to restore the application after a failed update or servicing operation. This is different from a currently installed package file failing signature validation: the recovery source itself is damaged.
Inspect the deployment activity and storage health, then reacquire the package from its authoritative source. A later update or reinstall can supply clean content when the recovery copy is unusable. Do not manually combine files from recovery and installed directories because package block maps, signatures, and registration must describe one coherent version.
What to inspect
- Distinguish recovery-data corruption from installed-package corruption.
- Check storage and interrupted servicing history.
- Re-download or restage a complete signed package.
