One or more required members of the transaction are not present.
Updated: Feb 21, 2026
Technical Meaning
The error code ERROR_SXS_TRANSACTION_CLOSURE_INCOMPLETE indicates that a transaction closure process in the Side-by-Side Assembly (SXS) subsystem has encountered an issue. Specifically, it suggests that one or more required components necessary for completing the transaction are missing.
Error Details
This error is typically associated with issues within the SXS assembly cache and its management of transactions. The SXS subsystem manages side-by-side assemblies, which include DLLs and other runtime components, ensuring they can be loaded and unloaded without affecting the stability of the system or other applications.
Usage Context
The ERROR_SXS_TRANSACTION_CLOSURE_INCOMPLETE error is most likely to occur in scenarios where an application or service attempts to perform operations that require a transactional context within the SXS subsystem. This could include actions such as loading, unloading, or updating assemblies in the assembly cache.
Developer Interpretation
When encountering this error, developers should interpret it as indicating a missing component required for completing a transaction. The exact nature of the missing component can vary and may be related to an assembly, manifest, or other SXS-related resource that is necessary for the operation to succeed.
Common Causes
- Invalid Parameter Values: Incorrect parameters passed during the transactional operation could lead to this error.
- Incorrect Object Type: The object type being manipulated might not align with the expected requirements of the transaction.
- Exceeding Limits: Attempting an operation that exceeds system or SXS-defined limits could result in this error.

A: Ensure all necessary components are present and correctly configured. Verify parameters passed to operations involving transactions and check if any limits have been exceeded.
Summary
The ERROR_SXS_TRANSACTION_CLOSURE_INCOMPLETE is a specific error code indicating an issue with transactional operations in the SXS subsystem, where one or more required components are missing.
