Unplug any USB devices, then re-install ... see if that works.

Did you download the RC from the MS sites or a torrent?
If you did the torrent route you may have gotten a hold of one that's been altered. :sarc:
If so, download directly from MS...I'd use the TechNet site as it has less traffic & you should get full download speeds on it.
Windows 7 Release Candidate

A '0x8007000D (the data is invalid)' error is caused by improper file security afaict, specifically operations on files for which the owner no longer exists. So at a guess I'd say this was caused by upgrading.

Do a clean re-install (if you didn't already).

OK, problem with Activating. What version of Win7 did you install?
I understand Windows 7 7100 RC (what version?)
1. Basic
2. Home
3. Home Premium
4. Professional
5. Ultimate
or one of the ,N versions.
What is the KEY: 1st 5 and last 5 will do.
Versions are KEY selective.

OK, but what you posted was your Product ID: which indicates it is basically a Ultimate Key.
You also say Win 7 7100 RC. Ultimate.
I recommend you try another KEY.
you key should look like this:
KEY:
the one you typed in when ask during the install. If you did not type in a key during install, you only have 30 days Trial... that is also why it will not activate.

Hi there
can you post a screenshot of the error (snip tool should still work).
Note you CAN'T yet use WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) as this is not yet working for W7 -- don't confuse this with Windows Activation.
If Windows doesn't activate properly chances are you've got a "Key genned" or other hacked copy.
Cheers

I've noticed the '1 click cleaner' on your desktop. If you've used some sort of registry cleaner it may have edited a needed registry key, there are no cleaners that work 100% with Windows 7. As similar in architecture to Vista as it may be it's still vastly different.
