Vista beta 2 install

vista beta 2 install

Vista beta 2 install

I've looked over all the tips on here and cannot find an answer...I ran the upgrade advisor said everything was fine. Im running a AMD 2500 XP Barton Core (1.83 Ghz) 1.5 Gig of Ram and a 300 Gig Harddrive. I've mounted the image with daemon tools, I've ran from the windows xp startup, I've ran from the pc booting up and still get the same error 80070241, I've also burned the image at lowest possible setting and its still giving me the exact same error it stops at 7% everytime. This is a clean install with xp sp2. I am using a Asus A7n8x2.0 Board with bios version 1007. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using an ata harddrive and there is nothing in bios that I can find that would be causing an issue from what I have read.

I would suggest extracting the contents of the ISO to a location on your hard disk and run setup from there. Don't extract it to the target location.

Has anyone actually gotten this thing installed? If so how avout posting a step by step on how you did it? The rest of us could learn from it.

I'm having the same problem. I get a little further into the install (~30%), then it gives me a [80070241] error. I'm doing a fresh install. I have two HDD's, the one I'm installing to is the slave. The master does not have on OS on it.
Here is the contents of the SetupErr.log file: Error [0x0604ad] IBS Callback_CopySetupFiles:An error occurred while copying Setup files. Error code is [0x80070241][gle=0x00000241]
The windows version is: 6.0.5384.4 (winmain_beta2.060518-1455)
Thanks for any support you can give.

I'm having the same problem. I get about 30% into the install and I get a [80070241] error. It says something about an error while copying a file.
I'm doing a clean install. My machine has 2 HDDs, the drive I'm installing to is clean, the other has no OS.
The version I'm trying is: 6.0.5384.4 (winmain_beta2.060518-1455)
This is the exact error I get: Error [0x0604ad] IBS Callback_CopySetupFiles:An error occurred while copying Setup files. Error code is [0x80070241][gle=0x00000241]
I have the setupact.log and setuperr.log files if they woudl be helping.
Thanks for any support.

any idea of what to do (except re downloading)

I've got the same problem but with an installation progress of 15 %. The problem apperas even after burning on two different DVD. But, for information, I had a problem with the download manager, which stopped the downloading and restarted it at the same point. An error in the file could be the problem (no physical error detected on the second DVD by Nero). I try to download the ISO image file again. If the installation works, I'll post a new message in the coming hours.

I've got the same problem but with an installation progress of 15 %. The issue appears with two different DVDs and with an installation on WinXP sp2 or on a formated HD. But I got an error when downloading the image file with the download manager. The process stopped and restarted at the same point. Maybe this error could have made the file being corrupted (logical corruption because after verification with Nero, there was no physical read error with my two DVDs). I download the ISO image file again at the moment and I'll try a new installation in the coming hours. I'll post a message in the same topic if the download error is the solution to my problem.

not uncommon to have problems. during the install when it is done, make sure the verification succeeds. you may have to download it several times before getting a version that works. verification fails.
would suggest using deamon tools to install instead of wasting dvds until you have a KNOWN good copy that installs.
I have had to download as many as 3 times before FINALLY getting a good copy.

Dumb question, but then I am known for them. How do you verify the download? I don't have Daemon tools. I have nero only. It says the file is good but then????? Is there another way to verify. I sure would hate to have to redownload this thing. Took me almost five hours using Verizon DSL and DAP, which both worked smoothly all through the download. Is this a way to sell the DVD instead of the free download? Sorry Microsoft but it appears that something is wrong when so many people are having the same problem and getting the same error.....Is the install.wim file faulty? Or is setup not setting up the folder that install.wim is supposed to be installing to? I am referring of course to the error 800070241, which by the way is in the logfile after failure, under the Panther folder. Took me forever to go through the entire logfile but that is where the problem seems to lie as far as I can see. I am about to give up on this one unless there is a brainiac out there who can figure this one out. -- Thanks

Well, that was my question if you look closer at my reply to mikeyhsd. How do I know if it is a good download. He said something to the effect that "if the verification fails".......I was just asking what verification? The only verification I know is if the program fails. But if you look at the number of people with the exact same error one would begin to wonder if it is not a download problem but rather a problem either with one of the files within the program or perhaps something in common with those who are experiencing the problem. At least I would think so. This problem has been brought up by a lot of people and I am suggesting that perhaps there is a common reason for this as opposed to some other problems that seem to be random or rare. That is all I am questioning really. If there is a method of verification of the download I wish someone would tell me. All I have to go by is the download manager at this point. But, I thank you for your comments. :)

George, the only thing I see that we have in common with our problem is that we both used Nero to burn the iso to disk. Now, perhaps that is the problem, if so I sure would like to know that as I will try it with another program (if I can find one). But I really think there is more to it than that. Our computer specs are not the same or near the same so I think we can rule that out. With the amount of people that are having the same problem, I think someone in Microsoft support should look at the ISO and see if there isn't a problem with it, then at least we can rule that out. In the meantime, I am just going to wait and see if someone comes up with a solution. I can wait.........but not long!!! ;)

Sorry for my bad english
my best guess is that it is a problem whit a small part of the download that gives the problem... where the bad part of the Download change from person to person (and therefore the % change)
i am currently downloading again (whit another download manager) to see if that gives me a ISO that works... its taking me about 9 hours to DL the iso file so hopes the next one works
ill write if it works when i have testet it

daemon tools is FREE. from experience, nero is best used from safe mode and using the slowest speed possible, be sure and check the VERIFY after burn box.
from my perspective, there is a problem with the download software from microsoft and error recovery. that is why I download from safe mode with networking. only way I am able to get a good verifyable downlaod.

not uncommon to have problems. during the install when it is done, make sure the verification succeeds. you may have to download it several times before getting a version that works. verification fails.
would suggest using deamon tools to install instead of wasting dvds until you have a KNOWN good copy that installs.
I have had to download as many as 3 times before FINALLY getting a good copy.

for me atleast, the download program that is used from microsoft does a verify after the download is complete. have NEVERR had a good download without using SAFEW mode with netowrking. the seems to be a problem with the downloader and error recovery.

Downloaded the image file again and now it works perfectly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The problem must be due to the download manager which restart downloading after broken connection without verifying file or correcting it.
Just have to say good luck for downloading file again !!!!!

You guys are not going to believe this. I finally got Vista to install, heres what happened and how I did it:
1. I pasted the download link into FIREFOX of all things. that is the only way I could get a good download.
2. Burned the ISO to DVD using Roxio DVD builder @ 2X speed.
3. Copied all the install files to the hard drive in a folder labeled "Vista Install" and ran the installation from there. It took 2 1/2 HOURS to install.
When Vista started for the first time, all I got was a black screen, working mouse, and the build number noted in the lower right corner. NO graphics at all and nothing works. I had to roll back the installation and am now back to XP.
Talk about disapointment! Any thoughts? My machine is a 1.4 Gig celeron with a GIG of RAM

I have downloaded the ISO file again (whit another Download manager) and this time it appears to work (30% in Expanding files as i write)
so if the installation goes wrong try to redownload the ISO file with another Download manager

Sorry for my bad english
my best guess is that it is a problem whit a small part of the download that gives the problem... where the bad part of the Download change from person to person (and therefore the % change)
i am currently downloading again (whit another download manager) to see if that gives me a ISO that works... its taking me about 9 hours to DL the iso file so hopes the next one works
ill write if it works when i have testet it

George, the only thing I see that we have in common with our problem is that we both used Nero to burn the iso to disk. Now, perhaps that is the problem, if so I sure would like to know that as I will try it with another program (if I can find one). But I really think there is more to it than that. Our computer specs are not the same or near the same so I think we can rule that out. With the amount of people that are having the same problem, I think someone in Microsoft support should look at the ISO and see if there isn't a problem with it, then at least we can rule that out. In the meantime, I am just going to wait and see if someone comes up with a solution. I can wait.........but not long!!! ;)

Thanks for the info and help. I would appear that the problem is definitely in the downloading of the file. I see many people who have had to redownload the file. I guess because it is so big that it can cause a problem. I seem to recall that at one point, using Dap, that the thing slowed down and then sped up again. There is probably where the problem lies. I don't think it makes a difference what download manager you use, as I have seen many different ones being used. I think it is just getting the thing to download correctly. Perhaps my splitting it into four parts is not the answer here as it took DAP a long time to put it all together. Right there is where the thing probably messed up. Too bad Microsoft couldn't have split the file up into parts and used RAR to do it with. I think that would make it much easier for everyone and not give us so many problems.......oh well. I suppose that we are lucky they are allowing us to do this anyway so I shouldn't be complaining. Anyway thanks all for your help. I will redownload the file I guess. Another five or six hours lost........hmmm!

Unless I run the vista install again, at which point I get the 300070241 error mesage again. going to load linux back up on my system now, cause looks like MICROsoft is back to the way it was in the early days, releasing crap and asking for your feedback. All I can say is thank god I still had my laptop with win 95 still working on it.
