Cannot install Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade - error code: 0x80070005 on a Mac

I'm having a frustrating morning, try to install Windows 7. I currently have Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and you have purchased the version upgrade of Windows 7 Ultimate. As soon as I try to run the installation file, I get the following error. ¨Windows could not create an installation folder. Error code: 0x80070005¨ I would be very grateful for advice on how to solve this problem.

Thank you.

Simon

See if your Bootcamp is actually the version 3 (right click - on Bootcamp) I did a system restore because I had just updated those drivers. But if you did when you got your Snow Leopard, you need to uninstall Bootcamp 3.0 in programs and features.  If you remember, when you loaded Windows Vista first you did not load Bootcamp until after installation has been completed.

So to remove 3.0, restart, then try to install again.  Let us know how it went.

In addition, such a question may be related to UAC, I recommend you turn off UAC in Windows Vista, if you have installed security software, try uninstalling the security application as well.

    (My Automatic Updates usually work, but this time not to go.) Updates are obtained through IE8 browser, but I prefer FireFox for daily use.)

    Thank you! Success!

    I used method 2, because I had already tried method 1 earlier, but the "fix it" went wrong. After reading the information from method 2, I opted to use my FireFox instead of IE8 browser, because I suspected that the process Internet Explorer that are included with the update was a large part of the cause of my problem. Among the options, I used Microsoft Download center to locate the update I needed and then through its validation and finally made the download and reboot. Voila!

    First of all, I bought a new computer and tried to set up Windows 7 Ultimate. I have been informed that it is an 'upgrade' and I'm stuck in the set up screen requiring a product key that I tried to use, without success.

    I was wondering if it's because it's just an upgrade and I need Windows 7 Home Premium?

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Cannot install 2 important updates - unknown error: Code 80070026 and Code 26

    For months now, I have tried to run updates for Vista Windows, but I get these two error codes. I thought I might have a virus that my antivirus regularly had not taken, I went to http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm and performed a full scan. There are several issues, but they have been resolved. However, I can not always install updates and I get the same error codes. Any help?

    Hi Sylvirblu,

    Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.

    Please let us know about the updates are available for download and the failure with the error code 80070026.

    I will suggest that you turn off the Antivirus software that is running on the computer and put the computer in a clean boot environment and then try to run the Windows updates, as in this case seems to be a conflict of third party software.

    To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If your problem is resolved, follow the procedure to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796
    In addition, refer to the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode

    Please let us know if it helps.
