windows 7 setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file
Hi. as the title says i keep getting this error whenever i try to install a fresh copy of windows 7.
it displays this error on the "installing updates" step List of things i have tried:
The windows 7 iso works perfectly fine on 3 laptops i have reformated recently but on my own Dell xps 15 laptop it simply wont install it due to this error. it previously had windows 8 which i have wiped out whilst formating the SSD hard drive. Any suggestions? |

All I can suggest is to make an image of one of the 3 laptops (take the one that is the closest to yours - in specification terms) and dump the image on the SSD. You may have to redo the activation with the key on the COA sticker which is on the bottom of your laptop. And do not forget to also image the 100MB system partition. That you need too.
Then when everything is rolling and you have the essential programs installed, take another image which you can use in case you ever need to reinstall again. For imaging I recommend free Macrium. Imaging with free Macrium |

Is the ISO you created or is it a download from digital river

I doubt it is a problem with the .iso. It gets stuck with the updates. But then you never know.

The files are inside the ISO . So it's the ISO .
