Installation Error: Setup Cannot Continue Due To A Corrupted Installation File

Sep 13, 2009

I am installing Windows 7 (Custom installation initiated from Windows XP) but I get the following error message when the installation is on the "Installing updates" step of the installation:

"Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file. Contact the vendor of your Windows installation disc or your system administrator for assistance."

Do you have any idea what the problem may be with the installation? Is there a way to see what file that may be corrupted?

I have tried to burn the DVD in low speed, but the error appears anyway. I have a MSI K8T Neo2-Fir mainboard and the Windows 7 upgrade advisor application says that my hardware is okay for upgrading.

Windows 7 Installation - Computer Shuts Off During Installation?

Jun 29, 2011

I just bought a new hard drive and a brand new Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit disc and I am doing a clean install on the new hard drive. it seems that everything is going normal, but at a random time during the installation, the computer just shuts off.sometimes it doesn't even get to the installation when it shuts off. sometimes it shuts off in the middle of the "windows is loading files..." black screen. there are no beeps when it shuts off or when I turn it back on. there are also no error codes.whenever i turn it back on it simply acts as if it never tried to install windows and starts the boot all over from the disc

May 16, 2012

So i have a new SSD Corsair Force 3 240 gig and all I want to do is install Windows 7 Pro on it. This board does not support parted magic (cannot wake from sleep and there are no onboard video to wake up to) so ive resorted to clean all.I have not been able to successfully boot the OS on the SSD. I never intended on setting up raid but apparently all the literature i see is on raid. I created a USB install disk as reccomended onto a 8gig ntfs primary active did the bootsect /nt60 X: and it successfully worked copied the cd over to the flash drive and copied the rste drivers in a folder called drivers My SSD is installed on port 1 6gig sata intel (as this board doesnt have marvel apparrently) My DVD is installed on 3gig Sata port 6 I set up Raid in the bios as reccomended by others (as this is the only way to install ssd?).

Nothing UEFI is enabled There are no other drives hooked up to the computer. Just SSD, USB cordless mouse, keyboard and no network cord or WIFI i started with a clean ssd as reccomended my bios recognized the ssd on post i booted into the win 7 install (MBR not uefi) i loaded the 64 bit rste drivers from asus as reccomended by others i left the machine to install the usb then booted into windows install (for whatever reason) i pushed f8 to boot my corsair windows brings up an error on a black screen File: windows/system32/drivers/adpahci.sys driver did not load Status: oxc0000221 Info: Windows Failed to load because of a critical system driver is missing or corrupt

"Windows Could Not Complete The Installation, To Install Windows On This Computer, Restart The Installation"

Apr 16, 2012

First, my laptop is a Aspire 5250-BZ853. I received it back in October, I think...may've been earlier. But anyhow, it was working just fine yesterday until I did a Windows Update. I had to restart, and it was fine again. But then it began running sluggishly slow, and just terrible overall so I restarted it once more and that was when the problems began.

This entire day, this has been driving me nuts. I have important files on here, and I backed up most on my external harddrive a bit ago but there were a few I missed and hadn't the chance to get (ironically enough the most important, papers and such.) At first, it said my password was wrong -- as if someone had changed it! I restarted it once more, thinking it an error or something, and did that again so I restarted it again. Finally, it worked but I think it logged me in as safe mode somehow. After that, it restarted on its own and began this loop. I did a LOT of searching on Google until finally someone suggested to someone else to try pressing "ALT + F10" I think it was as it was starting, and finally I made progress. Before that, it was just going into a constant rebooting loop and I couldn't even log into safe mode. Trying to reset it back to a time it was working was futile, because it said there was no recovery time there! So that shot that idea down. At last, I got somewhere.as well. I clicked the reset to factory settings, but still keep all the files (and they would be saved to "C:Backup" and I thought it had finally worked. But now as it reinstalls, I got an error saying something about how it needed to restart or something...so when I clicked "okay" it began again, and finally it all just came to a stop on "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."

Can't Log On, Even With The Installation CD

Dec 15, 2012

I have a Dell inspiron 4010 laptop with Windows 7. I am unable to log on. It appears to be starting up, i get the windows is starting up splash screen, but then it will go to the screen that says that windows failed to start, recent hardware or sofware change might be the cause and to insert installation CD and also lists the safe mode options. This screen keeps looping. None of the safe mode (or regular mode) options work, and when i try one of them the screen shows the loading windows files before restarting the safe mode options screen again.

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago, and was somehow able to boot from the DVD, but it doesn't seem to be working this time. when i try to boot from the repair DVD, the repair your computer option doesn't work (start up repair cannot repair this computer automatically and if i want to send information on this problem), nor do any of my system restore points. I just get a message that says an unspecified error occurred during system restore 0x800700b7 or an unspecified error occurred during system restore 0x8000ffff

I have been trying various times to boot from the DVD, pressing f8, etc. but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure how but at one time the screen said file fwpkclnt.sys 0xc00000f failed to load because the required file is missing or corrupt. but that hasn't shown up again.

Is there anything i can do? I would prefer not to lose all of my programs, documents, pictures, etc.

Installation Without The Disc?

Oct 10, 2010

I am still quite puzzled as to how are you supposed to install the Windows 7 OS without an actual CD? I've only done it previously with XP home edition and I had a CD. If you still do not understand what I mean, I'm confused on how will the OS, during installation, gather the information when there's no CD inside to read from?

My second question would be, which one of the versions (Home, Professional, Ultimate) is the best for GAMING? I have no need for security, but anything that would make my games, internet, etc run smoother would be of use.

Installation Screen Does Not Pop Up

Dec 9, 2010

I am having trouble installing Windows 7 (currently using XP). I am booting off from the CD and it passes the "Loading Windows Files" (with the gray bar) and also passes the "Starting Windows" black screen with the logo. But after that, only the blue screen background pops up. The "Install Windows" screen for me to select languages does not pop up. After a minute, the disc just stops spinning. I am getting a sense that it would not load after countless times of restarting my computer to see if it does. I just bought the Windows 7 Home Premium from Amazon two days ago.

Windows 7 Re-installation?

Oct 19, 2011

I had purchased Windows 7 upgrade about 2 years ago, downloaded and saved it as an ISO CD. I just had to format my hard drive and re-install. The installation completed but never asked for my Key Code. I checked Control Panel > System and found a temporary key code valid only for 15 days. When I changed the key code, I was advised of a "failure" because this Windows 7 was an "upgrade." Yes, I had upgraded from XP. Must I re-install XP and then install W-7 as an upgrade?

New Windows 7 Installation?

Dec 6, 2010

I'm currently changing my Acer Revo R3610 from Linux to Windows 7. I'm downloading it from Microsoft as we speak. It's been a very long time since I ever loaded a new OS, i'm downloading the ISO files to load straight from a USB stick but there is part 1 and part 2 download. I have the tool for creating a bootable USB but do I down't understand how you can do that with 2 ISO files, surely part 1 (2.3gb) is the file to choose when creating this. What is part 2?Lastly do I just tell the BIOS to boot straight from the USB and let the installation do the rest or am I missing something?

Dual Installation XP And 7

May 20, 2009

I have the following problem.

After installing Windows 7 on my XP machine I tried to start "Earlier version of Windows" I only get a blinking cursor in the upper left corner of my screen.

Starting Windows 7 goes fine.

Here's how my hard disk looks like: (see attachement)

On the volume with no drive letter are all the boot files, XP and 7, alongside.

On D: is XP and on C: is Windows 7.

Strange thing is that I don't remember to have that volume with no drive letter before I installed windows 7.

There is content on that volume which belonged to D: if I remember correctly.

Further more Windows 7 has the status of Boot but not Active, the nameless volume is System and Active and both are primary partitions. D: is not.

So why can it boot Windows 7 and not XP?

I think that first the nameless volume is being accessed and it starts whatever has been chosen in the boot menu but it can only start Windows 7 maybe because Volume c is marked as Boot and on a primary partition and XP is none of that.

The installation of Windows 7 created this.

I have installed Easybcd.

Will this help me to solve the problem?

If I can'tmake the dual boot to work how can I safely remove Windows 7 and boot XP to have it another go?

OS Re Installation Failure?

Nov 9, 2011

I recently received a virus that did a plethora of things and one of them was trying to delete system 32. To counter this I tried to reset my comp to a previous date. After pushing it to the farthest date and still dealing it I decided to reset to factory default without backing up any files. Everything goes great but when it starts installing the service and the OS it says the installation can not continue and the comp must be restarted. My comp is a HP TouchSmart 600 PC running Windows 7 Premium 64-bit. I have disconnected everything from it and tried running it on safe mode but I do not know how to restart it without pressing the power button but that just ends everything.
