Receive error message when you install Windows 7 "Windows Setup cannot find a location to store temporary installation files.

* original title - Windows Setup is unable to find a place to store temporary installation files. To install the winds make a partition on your startup disk has at least 686 MB free space *.

Current operating system: Windows XP SP 3

Windows 7:32 - bit Premimum Family Pack upgrade

Hardware: Dell dimension 3000

I read a number of different solutions for this problem.  None have worked.  I have 25 GB of free space on my C drive.  I formatted a dvd using the tool to download Windows 7 USB DVD.

I ran sfc/scannow to repair system files

I ran the suggestion to start installing from a command using D:/setup.exe /tempdrive:c window - it did not work.

Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to perform this upgrade?

Try these suggestions:

Error 0 x 80070005 occurs if the upgrade doesn't have permission to the folder writecertain. Try the following steps:

7. refer to the desktop and right click the reset.bat file, then choose "Run as Administrator".
8. you will see a window of type BACK treatment.

NOTE: It may take several minutes, please be patient. When it is finished, you will be prompted with the message: "finished, press any key to continue."

If the same thing happens, move to the next step.

5 restart the computer and then log on the computer of this administrator account.

6. run the upgrade to windows 7.

Error code 0 x 80070005 usually indicates that you don't have enough privileges or the operation is blocked. I know, some programs (Boot Camp on a Mac PC, etc.) is not compatible with Windows 7, if you have installed these programs on the computer, you may not be able to perform the upgrade.  You should uninstall these programs before upgrading. 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.

BTW, for your references, I found similar questions:

    Hello

    Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you try these methods and check the status of the issue.

    Method 1:

    Keep the computer in a clean boot and check the status of the issue. If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem. Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service. After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Service Pack 2 offered by Windows (automatic) update yet?

    Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 service Pack is not available for installation from Windows Update and automatic updates does not offer

    Cause
    This problem can occur for different reasons. However, the following reasons are the most common:

    • Already, you have the service pack installed and do not realize it.
    • You must install another update before you install the service pack.
    • You have not installed Service Pack 1 (SP1) and so you are not offered the option to install the Service Pack 2 (SP2). SP2 requires that you have installed SP1.
    • Components of the system that you must have to install the service pack are not installed on your computer.
    • You have a piece of hardware or software on your computer that is listed in the section "hardware and software which if present will result in Windows Update and automatic updates offers is not a service pack " article.
    • You have installed a preliminary version of a service pack, and it was not properly uninstalled before that you tried to install the final version of the service pack

    Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 is not available to users for which the following update is hidden:

    955430 description of the Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 installation feature software update released April 28, 2009

    See article KB, Matt. When the system is ready for SP2 [as in you will be informed of the automatic update], suggest then you download the full SP2 package, save, temporarily disable AVG and then install SP2.
    The MS KB article below has sound advice for steps, you have to take before installing a Service Pack

  • 0001 0002 error message when you install printer drivers

    I get the 0001 0002 error message when you try to install the drivers for a Canon Pixma MX892 printer. Five different Canon representatives tried to find a solution - nothing works. (It seems to be a Windows error message rather than generated by the installer of Canon).

    The error message appears when a) using the disc of Canon or the drivers of its Web site; (b) after a reboot selective; (c) when the Norton firewall is disabled; and d) each combination of a) through c). It also occurs when

    The exact time wherever it occurs during the driver installation process is when Setup "enrolled in the program of information."

    Is the exact wording of the message: an error has occurred while files were copied: 0001 0002.

    I am running Vista 32 bit and download the drivers using Firefox 18.0.2.

    After you have installed many printers without a hitch, it drives me crazy.

    Like you, I thought it was an Epson printer software installation problem and went bought a Canon.  Still I can not install two printers software.  The Epson and Canon customer service can not helped at all.  That's when I decided to contact Microsoft.

    Yes, I paid for the premium service, and I am pleased that they have set all my PC problems.  Takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete the work. I firmly believe that it is worth the money, in my case.
