during the installation of windows 8, which upgraded the wizard asks to install now or install by creating media what the difference
When you install by creating media, allows to create a backup of a Virgin DVD USB or USB key installation files. (I recommend you do this in case you need to reinstall Windows 8 in the future).
If you choose to not, Windows 8 will be a non-media from your hard drive installation automatically.
Windows 8 simplifies the procurement process with an installer called Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant Web that makes it easy to download and create a local backup for future use. Digital distribution works this way, you download the installer, launch that and he will download Windows 8, the time it takes depends on the speed of your Internet connection ultimately. Microsoft noted that the Web Installer includes a sophisticated compression technology that downloads pieces in sections of 10 MB to ensure that its safe delivery. When you download the installer, the installer creates a folder called "WindowsESD" in the root of your drive C:\ (if you have multiple partitions that this case may be on another). From there, you will find a complete Windows disk image, you can burn it to a blank DVD and make your own physics, copy, or store it on a USB key.

tan7655,
If I read this correctly, you have a portable computer that do not have an operating system on it. You try to install Vista and get the error.
You've restarted the Vista installation? So then you get the same error? If you have tried to install more than once and continue to receive this error, check that the laptop is capable of Vista? You may need to check with the manufacturer of the laptop to see if it is able to support Vista. Mike Microsoft responds to the technical support engineer

I have seen questions about this error in Re (with no response) Task Manager, but it popped up just for me just trying to move a document to a new file (file) in Windows Explorer. I'm not a techie. I use a new Windows 7 laptop, networked with a desktop computer running XP - live files on the XP, so I guess it's an XP issue. The file tree is quite long. I tried to delete and recreate the folder. No luck. New - I got a few word documents in a folder, I created a folder under the original, tried to move word documents & PDF files in the folder and suddenly get this error. I created thousands of new records - never saw this before.
The previous times I've seen that error (regarding printer installation issues or Scheduler tasks), if seemed to be linked to a care/firewall Windows. Just to smile, have you tried to disable any software firewall/security (temporarily) and see if that makes a difference.
BTW, it's a new show (as a few update/install can be causing it) or always happened?

Windows Defender error 126: the specified module could not be found
How to fix Windows Defender on Windows 7?
For some time now, Windows Defender no longer works. I can't install new updates of definition and the service cannot be started. If I try to manually start the Windows Defender service, there is an error message:
"Error 126: the specified module could not be found.
However, I can launch the GUI of C:\Program Files\Windows Defender Defender. However, I tried to download the Windows Defender from Microsoft, but the installer launches because it is said that Defender is already part of Windows 7 x 64.
I'm really looking for a way to get Windows Defender to rework.
First of all, it's what I already know and what I don't want:
- I don't want to disable Windows defender, I want to make it work again
- I have no antivirus uninstalled or disabled Windows Defender software, the module really seems to be corrupted (I am software engineer)
- I don't want to reinstall Windows or use the backup, because I don't know how far I have to go back
- Windows Defender can be removed from the menu of functions and software, because it is part of the operating system
- I do not have MSE installed, tried to install it, haven't changed a thing
Any solution to solve this is appreciated. Advanced solutions (Registry hacks, enveloping, manual installs, work...) Welcome!
Kind regards
Florian
I was able to fix this on my own. It seems that the registry has been damaged (as I thought).
Changed the DisplayName property is property in the register of "Windows Defender" to "@%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender\\MsMpRes.dll,-103" which in reality should not be the cause of the problem, however, the DisplayName property original of the resource file.
ServiceDll property have been replaced in the registry of
