hi akosijesyang,

is branchcache network files role installed?

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637785(v=ws.10).aspx

if isn't please install it. if please try re-installing role.

if still doesn't fix extract binaries cd shared location, remove binary role , re-install binaries share.

step 1
install binaries use dism (deployment image servicing , management tool) first identify index matches os (from list)

dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:d:\sources\install.wim

(presuming d dvd rom 2012 cd in)

step 2
remove existing binaries

uninstall-windowsfeature fs-branchcache -remove

step 3
install binaries path

dism /mount-wim /wimfile:d:\sources\install.wim /index:%step2version% /mountdir:c:\data\binaries /readonly

replace %step2version% index number, index:4 example.

step 4
reinstall binaries

install-windowsfeature fs-branchcache -source %path of windows\winsxs folder
