Windows Setup is unable to find a place to store temporary installation files. To install windows, make sure that a partition on your startup disk has at least 686 MB of free space

Current operating system: Win XP

New version: Win 7 Home premium downloaded from digitalriver (student version)
The download went well and expanded on in the expandedSetup folder. When I click on the button 'Install now' on the configuration screen, it displays error
"Windows Setup cannot find a location to store temporary installation files. To install Windows, make sure that a partition on your startup disk has at least 686 MB of free space. »
The unusual thing only that I have in this facility, it is that I "shrunk" the volume existing XP windows C: 228 GB to 150 GB to make room for the new partition W: for windows 7.
Here is the my drive details
Total
Disk 0
Letter of free space size
c: 150 GB GB 48.3
W: go-go 78.0 78.1
I: 54.7 47 MB MB (seems to be the DELL diagnostics dell partition)
J: 4.63 GB 959 MB (seems to be the DELL partition with the original copy of OS)
Disc 1
free space of letter size
M: g 78.1 29.8 GB
N: 39.0 go-go 22.8
X: 21.8 31.7 go-go
Thank you

I found the fix - made a bootable disc from the "expandedSetup" directory and booted from the disc. Look for the startup disk process in the solution of this tread

    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.

    I'm trying to install Microsoft FreeLancer on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition (according to WinVer: Version 6.1, build 6701, Service Pack 1).

    After inserting the DVD in the drive and run "Setup.exe", I am invited by the UAC to elevate permissions - who I am agreement - then the following error message appears: "Setup was unable to find (or could not read) the language specific setup resource dll, unable to continue."

    • Of course, I tried to restart.
    • I checked the DVD is in good condition, even with regard to the attempts to install from the disc to a friend and even went up to compare the MD5 of all files on two DVDs, the checksums match.
    • I tried using the compatibility mode for XP, although according to the report of another user on the statements of the Windows Compatibility Center that this should not be necessary.
    • I ran a full "chkdsk" (i.e. one scheduled for after a reboot, rebooted) and chkdsk reported no error.
    • I deleted all files "di - use ' %TEMP%, immediately after the restart and before you run setup.exe.
    • I've looked at this the EMET tool had an exemption for 'setup.exe' and my tool anti-virus was disabled before installation.

    Everything I try seems to have no effect on the resolution of this problem.

    Can anyone suggest any possible causes of--and, ideally, solutions to-this issue?

    Kind regards

  • Unable to find the right option to share a file in Windows 7

    Original title: change toolbar options

    I'm trying to access a file to only some people.  The Help window I found online said click Start, click my name, then look for the folder, and then click on "Share With" on the toolbar.  However, the only options on my toolbar are organize, burning, and new folder.  Is there a way to display additional options in the toolbar?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you cannot access a file because you do not get the right option to do. Let me ask you;

    • Want to share this file with the same version of Windows or other?

    Please see the measures to make sure that you are ready to share a file.

    Step 1: You must first check if network discovery is enabled IT in your computer, to do this follow the link below.

    What is network discovery?

    Step 2: Below is the article explains how to set up files and printers, sharing on a home network with computers running different versions of Windows.

    Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

    Step 3: Only people who belong to the homegroup can see devices and shared libraries. You can choose to share libraries, devices, or files and individual folders with specific people in your homegroup or everyone.

In this story, I can't click anything that runs - IE without access to the internet or anti-virus software, I think its something to do with rstrui.exe or rundl32.exe.

    Hi Robzy_k4,

    You will need to update your antivirus and run a full scan of the system in safe mode, until you see that your system has no infection found.

    Once your system is virus-free, your desktop and eerything should be normal. It is likely that you are not able to open exe files open with dialog box:

    You will need to rename regedit.exe to regedit.com (my computer-> tools-> option-> view file-> remove tickmark to "Hide extension for known file types"-> ok-now right click on local disk C:\WINDOWS\ online search of regedit.exe rename regedit.com).

    Then click on Start-> Run Type &-> Regedit-> ok.

    Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command
    (you will have to press on + to achieve order)

    Now, double-click default slot right windows and then change the value in this box for '%1' % *.

    Repeat the same for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command

    Close regedit, restart your pc and check if its working.

    Now on the connection of your brother, once all the steps above are performed, click Start-> run, type & -> regedit-> ok navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> software-> Microsoft-> Windows-> CurrentVersion-> Run and on the right side, find the key that point to crss.exe in the temporary location and delete it.

  • I'm unable to open one of my 'recent documents' document. It is said to make sure that the network resource is available.

    I'm unable to open one of my 'recent documents' document.  It is said to make sure that the network resource is available.  What does that mean?  And I can't find the document in "My Documents" is.  And I tried a search.

    Hello

    The error means either that the document no longer is located in the folder it was when it was finally opened or the location that the file was initially located in is no longer in the same place.

    Example 1: I open a document in the My Documents folder, then after closing the document, I moved manually the file to the desktop.

    Example2: I open a document located on a removable hard drive. After the closure of the paper, I then disconnect the removable hard drive of the PC.

    In these two examples, Windows would be able to find the Document using the "Recent Documents" list

    Step 1: I recommend that you check the trash or see if the document is located on a removable hard drive (or USB key) that is is more attached to the computer.

    Step 2: Use recovery software of the third party to recover the document.

    I was able to add an account Gmail for Windows 8 Mail App on my first install and everything worked well. Then bought an SSD and completely installed a new OS of Windows 8 it. Connected with the Live account that I used with the first installation of windows 8. All synchronized. The Mail app has Live accounts and Gmail put in place without having to re-enter the information myself. However, I noticed that Gmail sync never even when I choose sync.

    Hello-

    Ah, yes--it is that review.

    Another option, because you are not able to go to .NET FX 4.5, is to remove the parts "[ordered]' of the code that you use.  This type Accelerator makes the hash table a dictionary sorted.  The effect to remove that from the code will be that the properties of the object that results will not be in the order in which they appear in the code.

    And, another option would be to install PowerShell v3 (the version in which the '[ordered]' feature has been added').  That shouldn't require a FX .NET newer than what you showed as having already installed on this computer.  However, as we have seen with the PSSnapin and PSv4 Exchange, you want to make sure that the PSSnapins / Modules you want to use are compatible with PowerShell v3.
