Can't activate, Error Code 0c8007007B
Been wrestling with this for a few days.
This is an upgrade. Did a custom install from XP Pro 32-bit to Win 7 Pro 64-bit.
Well, I have tried it a few times actually. I have tried all the different methods for the custom install, including upgrading the upgrade.
The error code description is:
"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
I get this when I try to activate, before I'm prompted to enter a key code or anything.
I have verified the OS is genuine with the online tool.
I have installed all drivers and updates, and it's SP1.
I have had so much trouble moving various new hardware from XP32 to Win 7 64.... the past 10 days I seem to have had more trouble than I have had in the prior 10 years.
This one is specific to this computer. I have another activation error of a different sort on another machine but I'll get to that later
