Repair Install fails due to WinSetup.dll error
Hi all,
I've been having issues with my computer, which are detailed in the following thread:
Multiple issues after update (sfc /scannow and CheckSUR logs included)
I've finally decided to bite the bullet and perform a repair install of Windows 7, 64-bit. I do have my Windows registration code, but I could not find my copy of the Windows 7 CD/DVD, so I followed the instructions in the following article to create a DVD and USB boot device:
Repair Install
I chose the USA "Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh) X17-58997.iso" file from Windows 7 Direct Download Links.
When trying to run setup, either from the DVD or from my USB drive, I'm getting the following error:
"Windows could not load required file WinSetup.dll. The file may be corrupt. To install Windows, restart the installation. Error code 0xC1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
EWG
