Windows 7 install hangs at files step 21% 3.

• Windows 7 install hangs at 89% during the expansion stage of files

  I searched the Internet for the same problem and I can't find a definitive solution or cause for this.  It must be the worst installation experience ever!

  I have a 9 year old office computer running Windows XP Pro with SP3.  The specifications are the following:
  Processor 2.0 GHz of AMD Athlon 64 (32-bit)
  3 GB RAM
  1 GB videocard ATI (Radeon HD4650)
  200 GB IDE drive (SATA drive died a year ago)
  Sony DVD - RW drive
  There is no floppy drive on this desktop computer

  I decided to do a clean install of Windows 7 on it, I could test VS2012 and office 2013.  I installed the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and everything checked very well for compatibility.  I have downloaded Win 7 Ultimate x 86 with SP1 from the MSDN site, formatted the drive and installation.  He stopped at 0% a couple of times saying: "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupted or missing.  Make sure all files required for installation are available. and run the Setup again.  Error code 0 x 80070015. »

  Then I downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate x 86 and burned another DVD with verification.  I tried with this.  Formatted the drive, deleted the partition, created a new partition and created the 100 MB system partition.  This time he went to 89% before launching the same error: "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupted or missing.  Make sure all files required for installation are available. and run the Setup again.  Error code 0 x 80070015. "It does not get stuck at 89%, it reached 89%, stays there for a minute and then this error message.

  I gave up and I'm back to install Win XP on it, which took place without a hitch.  What is it?  Too old hardware?  Therefore, shouldn't the Upgrade Advisor say before you say it's just good install Windows 7?

  Hello

  Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  According to the description provided, you have problems with the Installation of Windows 7 with error code 0 x 80070015.

  Error code 0 x 80070015 refers to a device not ready which would normally be on the DVD player.

  It is perhaps simply that the installation DVD is corrupt somehow or that the download of the. ISO is defective somehow. Worst case would be a material faullt.

  You can try to re-burning at 1 x speed to fork the best chance to burn correctly, or maybe upload again.

  If it is an option for you, the other options are the use of a USB key to install from-

• Clean Windows 7 install hangs during expanding windows files

  well, so that's what I've done so far, I have downloaded the kit of the student digital river, I originally ran Windows xp 32-bit, so when I ran first the exe download, it gave me the error of not being able to record in a single folder to read and what not, but I followed the suggestions on the forums to move forward a burn on a startup disk expandedsetup folder in converting it to an iso, which I did, I installed the first time but missed the option to format my hard drive so my old files were still there, however, once got installed win 7 I wasn't able to connect to internet for some strange reason and I couldn't understand it, so I decided to take the 3 files I downloaded originally from digital river and try their unpacking on the 64 bit OS now I had installed, it worked fine this time without any errors, so I moved the folder expandedsetup to my laptop and he burned them on a dvd as before, this time I boot from the dvd and do a clean install, it installs again very well, but once I login in the OS and I am getting started with things once again everything is grinding the long, I tried to restart and it does not work, this time it froze just a black before the paper screen, so once more, I started from the dvd and tried to do a clean install, but this time, he begins to hang during the part of expanding windows files, so I decide to make another disc using the second expandedsetup folder thinking that perhaps a new one was a bad burn, this does not work either, it takes about 14% of full on the extension of the windows files and then he told me that the files is not found, so I tried the second drive once again, we only got 4% until it gives me error on files is not found , so I put the first early in and try and suspension 4% right now and I expect to give me the same error, I have really no idea of happening, there are too many variables, but I tried to evaluate each of them, would be - this related material? my computer is compatible for win 7 64 bit, I ran the Upgrade Advisor before you buy, so I know that my hardware can run it, I think it's my dvd drive or the hard drive, but they both seem to run fine otherwise, any help would be appreciated

  Hello Impoc,

  Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

  Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

  ·     Your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it. For more information, go to How to replace Microsoft software or hardware lost, broken or missing on the Microsoft Web site.

  ·     Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

  ·     If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, your computer may attempt to locate files on the wrong drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not used, turn off readers that you don't use. Otherwise, try to insert the disc in a different drive, and then restart the installation.

  ·     There is a virus on your computer. Run an antivirus program to scan your system and to identify the necessary repairs. Don't forget to disable the antivirus before you start the installation again.

  Also, it is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

  1. wait 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

  2. If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

  3. If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary hardware. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  If you have more than 1 Memory stick on your computer, try to remove all but one RAM stick and try to install Windows 7.

  If the computer still stops responding during installation, you may need to contact your computer manufacturer or retailer to check if the computer is compatible with Windows 7.

  Also check out the link below to learn more about solving Windows installation problems:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-Windows-installation-problems

  Note: This article is related to Windows Vista. However, you can follow the same steps with Windows 7.

  If the installation fails after following the steps above, try to note the exact error message and provide the same.

  It will be useful.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Windows 7 install hangs at 35 percent

  I upgraded to Vista Home Premium on the last stage of that Windows 7 hangs just at 35%

  Help please.

  Tips for solving common problems when Windows 7 won't install troubleshooting

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known issues that might affect the installation and correct them.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  2 disable any security software: anti-virus, firewall etc. Don't forget to activate the Afterwords.
  3. make sure that your computer has the latest drivers and BIOS. Update of the BIOS can be risky, don't do that if nothing else works.
  4. disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse before installing.
  5. If using a video card and the computer has integrated video use and remove the video card.
  6 unplug the computer from the internet, if you have wireless disable.
  7. RAM (memory) - reduce the amount of RAM. 1 GB if 32-bit installation, 2 GB for 64-bit, then replace RAM if the upgrade was successful. If you added new RAM make sure it is also compatible.
  8. If you have several hard drives remove all except the one that you install Windows 7, and then replace it after Windows 7 is installed.
  9. If you have downloaded Windows 7 and it burned a DVD test burn again at the slowest speed possible. It is also possible the download may have errors, you can try to download it again.
  10. If you click 'Upgrade' to start the installation make sure that you take a supported upgrade path. You can't make a room upgrade: A) XP to Windows 7, B) changing bit type ex: 32 to 64-bit C) change the languages, D) decommissioning editions ex: Vista of the month last 7 Pro, or E) Vista Home Pro 7.

  11 turn off startup programs:
  (A) click Start, type MSCONFIG in the search box and press ENTER.
  OK the authorization of user account control and password if necessary
  If you are using XP: click Start, run, and type: MSCONFIG and click OK.
  (B) on the general tab, click Selective startup.
  (C) just below the selective startup, clear the checkbox "Load Startup items".
  (D) click the Services tab, check "Hide all Microsoft Services", and then click Disable all.
  (E) click OK, and then restart the computer.
  (F) try the upgrade again.

  (NOTE: If the upgrade fails and you continue to use your rear security software, then also go back into MSCONFIG and under the general Tower XP/Vista tab, click "Normal startup", and then click OK to exit.)

  12. check your RAM (memory) to find errors. Can take a long time, don't make that if nothing else has worked.
  (A) Insert the Windows 7 DVD and restart the computer.
  (B) start from the Windows 7 DVD.
  (C) select your language, and then click Next.
  (D) click on "repair your computer" then select the operating system to fix it.
  (E) click on the link of the Memory Diagnostics in the system recovery menu.
  (F) the computer will restart and your memory is checked for errors.

• Install hangs on Windows 8.1

  I have an Officejet 4500, that could be installed without problem under XP, Win 7 and Win 8.0. Now, I bought a "new" Windows 8 laptop (Acer Aspire) and put far to 8,1. Then I started the installer executable OJ_AIO_4500_G510g - m_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe. The first test, the program window open and hung the first step (System verification). Testing later, the file has been extracted, but no windows open. In the Task Manager, I found the process 'HP install setup' using 30% of the CPU, but I was forced to kill this process finally.

  The printer itself is now installed (I am able to see the printer and use it), but the Solution Center and fax/scanning capabilities are not available. I even used the installation wizard. I stopped the firewall, without success. The idea of stopping all the services window found in this forum seemed a bit heavy for me. So what could be the reason why the window does not open and the program crashes?

  Best regards

  Thomas

• Get the Error Message When you try to reinstall Vista: Windows cannot open the required file: E:\Sources\install.wim

  I'm trying to reinstall windows vista for the following reasons:

  1. I have SQL Server 2008 installed on my computer.  I deleted some files a long time ago and it screwed something and I couldn't reinstall.
  2. I had partitioned my hard drive for vista half and half SuSE and I deleted who and when I did, I think I deleted another partition - my recovery partition (E:\?).
  3. I need to clean my laptop.

  When I try to start the installation of a disk and I put in my product key, I get the following error:

  Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\install.wim.  The file does not exist.  Make suure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.  Error code: 0 x 80070002.

  Let me know if you have any ideas how I can fix it.  My next step was to recreate this E directory and download the install.wim file and re start the installation.  I could not find the file install.wim well.

  Hi Rob,

  I checked the link you provided.  What you downloaded was just the Vista recovery environment.  You cannot actually re - install Vista with that and if you blew your recovery partition unfortunately you may be out of luck.  You blew your partition containing Vista runs so the SFC will be of no help either.  I wish I had better news for you, but I don't see any way o get on without a Vista DVD.  I have good news for you if.  When you get your HP drive if you have problems with the installation, we will be able to help you with that.

  Take care and let us know if you need assistance when the disc arrives. Locutys of Borg

  If you don't succeed the first time skydiving probably isn't for you!

  Hi jamesgillwn,

  1. when exactly you get this error message?
  2. what disc do you use to reinstall?
  3. What is the exact error that appears when you try to start?
  4. at what point of the installation you get the error message?

  After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

  First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

  To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

  Try the steps from the following link:

  Note: When you perform the installation, you will lose the data, make sure that you need to backup your data before you perform the installation.

• Install hangs on Windows XP flag

  I'm trying to install the all-in-one software for a PSC 1350 on our two PCs, which are be HP pavilions with XP SP3. On my PC the things went perfectly using the last downloaded package. But on my wife's PC Setup hangs systematically at an early stage where the window is said "Global Progress - installation step 3/4 of 5%" and "status - additional software installation.

  I tried this several times using the original CD so the downloaded drivers. I also did some research and did a cleaning by using the procedure in "level 3 Uninstall" (L3_Uninstall.bat), but the installation crashes always.

  I think it would be complete OK so I just installed the basic printer drivers, but then there is no software installed to make better use of the scanner. Is there any hope here? I'm rarely stumped by computer problems, so it becomes very frustrating.

  Sorry, I should have looked before poster. The indication provided by DexterM (I think) to kill the process Wrapper.exe was the solution. As I was in the forum, my wife's PC had been sitting on the other office hung for about half an hour. I went to the wire and killed Wrapper.exe and the installation took immediately!

  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  Hi douglash21414001,

  I think maybe it's a coincidence, that nothing is installed with ExportPDF, so nothing should have changed your web browser. That said, you can clear the cache of the browser and then re-open your browser. (What browser do you use?)

  You can also try to restart your computer, if the browser is restarted does not solve the problem. But still, I don't think that this problem is related to the ExportPDF.

  Please let us know how it goes.
