I have a problem installing Win 7 Ultimate 64. I have several different Win 7 disks that I've tried to use. I can get all the way to where it starts to install but after it says copying win files, goes to install it stays at 0% and I get the error message "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart. Error Code 0x80070017"
what can i do
Here you go, straight from the horses mouth as they say.
Windows 7 installation error code: 0x80070017 - Microsoft Community
Welcome to the forums also!
Where did you get Win7? How is it being activated?
It sounds like you have a bad disk. Confirm a legal, intact installer ISO and burn another using ImgBurn at 4x speed.
#1 As Said in the previous post, your windows 7 dvd installer has to be perfect, it has to be tested on other machines if it`s giving you problems on your machine. If it`s perfect then you have to check your dvd drives and so on down the line.
