the installation program is unable to initialize the startup folder

I bought windows8 pro and downloaded the operating system online. When I tried to install the same on my preview of exit platform Windows8 following error messages showed after the installation of 90%. "Setup cannot initialize the startup folder" then "Setup is unable to run install.exe" and "system cannot find the specified file (error = OX80070002).»

Someone kindly guide me to solve the problem

I had this problem too and couldn't find an answer: what I found was that I tried to install and failed.   When I looked in the C:\ drive, I found a temporary installation directory.   Here's what I did to clean:

(1) keys to success (Windows + R) and type c:\ (or whatever your system drive is)

(2) look for a folder named WINDOWS $. ~ BT

(3) Rt click on the folder and rename to OLD_ WINDOWS$. ~ BT (it won't erase without admin perms, so you'll need to clean it up later.

(4) to open the Task Manager (click on rt on the Windows Start bar, select Task Manager)

(5) find and select "Installation of Windows 8 (2)" or "Installation of Windows 8.

(6) choose end task

Result:

Try running the installer again and see if it works now.   If so, when you're all finished, don't forget to go back on your C: drive and delete the OLD_$ WINDOWS. ~ BT Directory

I hope this helps some of you!  Good luck!

  • Why introduce items in the startup folder NOT?

    Really, I want to like Windows 8, but I have a few problems.

    I did a full install of the operating system and tries to run a trio of start-up applications. These applications are called Sickbeard, sabnzbd + and CouchPotato. They worked without problem on Windows 7, so I installed them exactly the same way for Win8. They are installed in the startup folder, but when I restart my computer, these applications fail to run and I have to manually click twice on them, how everything works well. I even had their value "run as administrator", but no matter what, they never perform to restart without my help. Help!

    Also, my copy of Photoshop Elements 10 I bought, didn't seem is not consistent. I opened a photo, began publishing, has opened another photo for editing as well and was unable to choose the editing tools. Maybe that's more a problem with Adobe, but nevertheless, I assumed that software that works under Windows 7 would work the same on Windows 8.

    In my base of 8.1 Win I don't have this option.

    I made this change, in this way:

    1. Control Panel > user accounts > change user account control settings > never notify
    2. Run > RegEdit:
      Set the key to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------policies------system------EnableLUA to 0.

  • AppStacks and the startup folder

    We have a few apps that users are accustomed to having to start for them.  E-mail, messenger, CIT, Citrix Receiver, etc...  The AppStacks have these shortcuts in the startup folder, but they are not always start.  Sometimes apps there are pretty fast so that at the time wherever the startup folder is processed, the shortcuts are there, but sometimes it takes just a little more time for the appstacks to apply and then they are not in the startup when it processed folder.  Shortcuts will be created once appvolumes is done pursuant to the appstacks, but too late.  Is there a way to force the system to wait until AppVolumes is applied the appstacks before the user is fully connected?

    Yes. on the agent computer will execute the command to add a value and the registry key below. This will hold the opening process of session until all volumes have finished attaching. After the logon process will continue. This of course causes an increase in the overall connection time, but should resolve this problem. Please also note that start us all programs in the key run in the context of virtualization on each volume. So, it would be preferable to include these applications in this key as part of the procurement process.

  • Why pictures start automatically on reboot? I never use it and it does not appear in the startup folder.

    Why photos starts automatically when you restart. It is NOT in the folder.so of starting, why what is happening? I never use photos, so it's a loss of memory perfectly!

    Perhaps you have a device with linked images that attempts to import Photos?

    Also where the startup folder did you check?

    Hello

    I am running win 7 64 bit and OpenVpn still connect at startup, but is not in the startup folder. It remains in my taskbar on the low right. I use it occasionally when I am engaged in international voyages and need a connection to the United States. I already checked the startup folder and I have nothing in there.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    I had already tried this and it is marked as disabled. I can't understand this.

    It could be launched as a service, visible on the Services tab in msconfig. Be sure to hide all Microsoft services front to disable all other services. I would also create a Restore Point and burn & test a Windows repair CD.

  • I can't access the startup folder

    My computer has been terribly slow. It runs Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 2.

    I'm kind of a loop.
    In a nutshell, that's the problem.

    Another way to access the startup programs.

    Attention... Make sure you understand the function of the program UNTIL you turn it off.

    Start > Search box, type msconfig > Enter > Startup tab > here is the list of startup programs.

    to disable... Uncheck the box in front.

    Click OK when finished.

    original title: "Search" & "Run" is missing.

    My "Search" & "Run" are missing from my 'Startup' folder, how do I reinstall? I have Windows XP Professional.

    Hi Mike0753,

    The buttons are missing for all users on the computer? If necessary, create a new user account to see if your user account has become somehow corrupt.

    When did you notice the lack of buttons? If it is a recent issue, follow the steps in this document to perform the system restore. This will restore your computer to a previous state.

    Let is know if this helps.

  • How to remove a bad Windows 7 from the startup folder.

    I have a new computer with a version of OEM Windows 7 installed.  Recently, the computer restarted itself and now I am asked to select one of the two instances of Windows 7 to boot from.  The first selection of Windows 7 is one that works while the second is bad.

    How can I remove the second selection?

    Thank you

    Yes, it but is somewhat limited, I have use Ghost (you would need to buy - see below) or Acronis True Image. My preference is ghost but free trial Acronis will work and there is nothing to prevent you from using Windows 7 backup system and Acronis.
