Win 8.1 Upgrade in VM Fusion: Error 0xC1900101 - 0x20017

I am running Win 8 within a Virtual Machine (VM Fusion 6) on my iMac. Every time I try to upgrade to 8.1, upon the first reboot I get a choice
to either troubleshoot or shut down my PC - the first option goes nowhere so I have to shut down, and when Windows starts up again I get a message that it couldn't complete the update and has restored my previous version, with the error code 0xC1900101-0x20017.
I was running VM Fusion 4.1 under Mountain Lion when I first attempted this. I have since upgraded to Fusion 6 but still get exactly the same error. I am aware that a lot of people have had similar problems, but I am wondering whether
mine could to be related to running in virtual mode?

Hi,
For this issue, I first would like to confirm if your disk was encrypted. If so, I suggest you disable all encryption before upgrading to win8.1.
If this is not the cause, please try following:
Physically unplug all external devices, (except mouse and keyboard)
Remove third party software in win8.
Install all updates for your PC, all drivers must be updated.
If still doesn’t work, check the cbs log in windows\log\cbs.
And it is also suggest to contact the Fusion Support check if there have some ideas.

HP ENVY dv6-7323cl Notebook PC Windows 10 install error (0xC1900101 - 0x20017)

The full error is: "The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation. (0xC1900101 - 0x20017)" Curious if anyone was able to get their Envy dv6 upgraded from Win8.1 I have literally tried over 10 sulutions found on the web - Most of the solutions seem to come down to manufacturers updating BIOS. I know there was an update for the BIOS of this machine on 10/31/14 for ver. F25 and it has been installed, but if anyone has any ideas for this particular machine that has worked - Please share Thanks Edit* Things I have tried - Clean boot - Uninstalling AV - ISO from USB for Win10 - Windows Update to Win10 - Disabling Video,Sound, Biometrics - I am sure I am leaving a few out, but this gives an idea..

Hello
I was unable to find the drivers searching with your product and model number as well.
I was able to keep searching and found this link and it was under our business site support. This is the drivers for your unit series and you should be able to download the fingerprint reader drivers from the link.
Let me know if this helps.

Win 8.1, iMac Retina 3TB Fusion, Yosemite, Boot Camp fail!

I've got a new iMac Retina with the 3TB Fusion drive on which I wanted to install Win 8.1 using Boot Camp. I have VMWare Fusion installed and running, but figured Boot Camp might be better for my needs.
I read the Boot Camp Assistant instructions and it looked like it would be pretty easy to install Win 8.1. WRONG!
I hooked up a USB HD for the driver download, hooked up the USB Apple DVD drive with the Win 8.1 installer, and started up Boot Camp Assistant.
Assistant downloaded the drivers, created the BOOTCAMP partition, then I got into the Win 8.1 installer. Reached a screeching halt when the installer got to the point of selecting where Win 8.1 would be installed. Got the error message about BOOTCAMP partition not being an NTFS drive.
Only one button "Format" to click to make the format NTFS. Confirmed I wanted to format, saw a brief spinning wheel, then supposedly formatting was done. Now Drive 1 Partition 4 lost the "BOOTCAMP" name and displayed no name. The "Next" button wouldn't do anything. I was stuck!
So no go on installing Win 8.1! Booting back into Yosemite and opening Disk Utility I see the Boot Camp partition, now named "untitled," identified as an NTSF volume!
I see a number of posts here where by using Terminal it is possible to work around problems with Fusion drives and Boot Camp.
My solution was to start Boot Camp Assistant and select the third option on the first screen to remove the Boot Camp partition. Well at least that worked!!! So I'm back to ground zero!
For now I think I'll just surrender and wait for Apple to figure out how somebody, who doesn't want to dig deep into the bowels of Fusion drives via Terminal, can install Win 8.1 on a 3TB Fusion drive (or any Fusion Drive?).

Thanks Loner T for your response. I don't have any third party NFTS software. At this point I don't think it is worth the effort to attempt to do anything complicated.
I did take some screen grabs and photos as I went through the install for the fourth or fifth time.
1) Disk Utility before start:
2) Create the Windows partition:
3) Initial Windows partitions:
4) Windows message on why can't install
5) Hit the "Format" button, and get this confirmation:
6) Results in partition name getting wiped, and still no active "Next" button:
7) Still can't install Windows, hit "Show Details" and get this error message.
8) Another attempt to "Format" results in the same problem. Still can't install. Boot back into Yosemite. Here's what Disk Utility now shows -- an "untitled" NTFS volume:
Here's the finder window showing the "untitled" volume:
The NTFS partition is there, but the Win 8.1 installer can't use it. Yes, it makes no sense, but that's what is going on!
Here's info from Terminal on CS I see used here if it helps any:

Win 8.1 Upgrade Disabled Twist Touch Screen Fixed

After a Win 8.1 Upgrade, I had no touch screen function. Calls to Lenovo led nowhere Same with searching Microsoft boards. I fixed the issue on Sunday 6/1- No help from Lenovo or Microsoft.
For me it was finding two "Unknown Devices" in the HID section of Device Manager which did not have drivers installed. After researching and determining that Win 8.1 will not allow unsigned device drivers, and also seeing the "Update Driver" option failing because the drivers on the laptop that fit the problem were getting an 'INF unsigned driver error', I went through the steps to allow unsigned drivers... Charm Bar>Settings>Change PC Settings>Update and Recovery>Recovery>Advanced Startup>-Restart> Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Settings> Restart and then Chose #7>Allow Unsigned Device Drivers and Restart again... then Updating the two Unknown Devices with the drivers already on the Twist.... and voila- the errors disappeared and the touchscreen returned to full function.
I don't know if this happened to many people, but Lenovo had no idea what to do. They wanted me to ship them the laptop and allow them to roll it back to Windows 8. Posting here to distribute it to a larger audience. Maybe someone at Microsoft should call Lenovo too or Lenovo should call Microsoft. The Twist is a great laptop with Win 8.1 when everything works the way it should.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Cvj17,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per your query we understood that you are looking driver for Unknown device. In some system after installing all the drivers also the unknown device will show in Lenovo Solution Center, hence confirm it once in device manage is there any Unknown adapter is showing in that.
Please install Lenovo System Update application and run it to verify the driver automatically.
Unknown Device issue.
Hope this helps.

Trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion, error is message; " product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed"

trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion, error message; " product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" ??
what to do? This is in App store. I followed the link e-mailed to me that an upgrade was available....... Puzzled.

Several causes for this problem have been reported. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when it's resolved.
Step 1
Back up all data.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
Step 2
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 3
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error message said "can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing" Reinstallling has not helped. Is it Apple's fault?

I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error Message said " Can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing". Reinstalling has NOT helped. . Is the fault with the Apple iTunes upgrade?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
Reset the Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

Windows 8.1 upgrade error 0xC1900101-0x40017

Hi
I purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 Tablet model 4294-CTO directly from you. It came with a factory installed F5521gw Mobile Broadband option. The only change I have made to it is to install and additional 4GB of compatible memory shortly after i purchased it. Last year It was upgraded to windows 8 pro and I have installed all updates using your system upgrade 5 program and have installed all windows important and optional updates. I have also installed all your applicable Windows 8.1 drivers.
When I attempt to upgrage it to windows 8.1 using the windows store it fails on the first boot after installing the update with the error 0xC1900101-0x40017 and restores Windows 8.
I have done all the troubleshooting I can think of, including disabling all drivers not needed and all startup programs.
I have attemped the upgrade at least 15 times, including downloading the update a second time.
Can you please help me to complete this upgrade.
I you require any further information please contact me.

Frank,
Based on the compatibility list on our support site here, Lenovo is not supporting X220 on Windows 8.1
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT079684
If you plug that error code into the microsoft support site, there are a lot of hits on their forums.
Here is the search page I used and I just plugged in your error code http://support.microsoft.com/search/
Here is one thread that may be helpful:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_install/couldnt-update-to-window...
The explaination there suggests that one needs to run all Windows 8 updates before doing the 8.1 install, but you indicate you have already done this. You might check some of the other threads in that search result to see if there are more potential clues.
Hopefully, other X220 users here will add on with their experience and feedback.

Cannot get to dual-boot screen after Win 8.1 upgrade

Hello,
I have an iMac with Mavericks. Recently installed Win 8 to dual-boot. Instrux then were to hold OPT button during startup to be presented with options for OS with which to boot.
Since Win 8.1 upgrade there is no way to get to that prompt. MS/Win help topics not useful (unsurprisingly). I have the original install disk but would far prefer to save my current config of Mav. Thoughts for workaround?
Cheers,
Michael C

holding down option key at bootup not giving you the bootmenu have nothing to do with win8.1
even if one never installed anything in terms bootcamp at all then holding down the option key should give the option between osx and the restore to last clean osx version
if you don't get the option then I'd say the cause is not windows as the menu is handled by the bootloader which is before windows takes over

TDFields you will want to ensure the 7z and exe file are in the same folder/directory. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Cannot upgrade itunes due to error " c:program files|quicktime h264"?????

I just got myself a brand spanking new ipod, my husband has an older nano and uses itunes our computer. Itunes did not recognize my new ipod and said i had to upgrade to version 9. but when i try to download the upgrade i get an error message saying ERROR WRITING TO FILE: C:PROGRAM FILES\QUICKTIME\QTSYSTEM\QUICKTIMEH264.RESOURCES\NL.LPROJ\QUICKTIMEH264LOCALIZE DQTR.VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DIRECTORY.
what the **** does that mean??? ive been on the computer all day dying to use my new ipod, have uninstalled itunes and quicktime but still it gives me the same error message. can someone please help, im going crazy, im desperate!!!!!

Yeah, there's anothe workaround we can try ... it doesn't fix the damaged files/folders, but it convinces the installer to ignore them and create new ones (instead of getting hung up trying to remove and replace the damaged ones).
In My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Program files" folder.
Open the "QuickTime" folder.
Open the "QTSystem" folder.
Open the "QuickTimeH264.Resources" folder.
Rename the "nl.lproj" folder nl.lprojOLD.
Now try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

When i connect my iphone to the computer, win 7 i get the mtp driver error (Code 31).

When i connect my iphone to the computer, win 7 i get the mtp driver error (Code 31).
I must mention that connecting the phone and accesing it as a camera worked before but at some point it didn't and i keep recieving this mtp driver error. I tried everything including deleting registry entries, reinstalling multiple times, use the log administrators command in cmd, i don't have a pass on my phone, nothing worked so far. Any help would be apreciated.

Yes I did.. Everything is ready. Just when I plug the cable into the phone and the computer nothing will happen.. When I plug it into our "business" laptop immediately it will show that it is connected... With this laptop I am using now, nothing happens..

In Win 7 64bit I get the following error upon every reboot. "The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library " This happened yesterday, 8/23/2011 after downloading Apple iTunes 10.4.

This happened yesterday, 8/24/2011 after downloading Apple iTunes 10.4. In Win 7 64bit I get the following error upon every reboot. "The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll" Please how do I fix this, Thanks.

In the case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

WRK54G firmware upgrade fails: file pattern error.

When I attempt to upgrade the firmware in my WRK54G router, the upgrade fails with this error message:
Upgrade action is not finish!!
Upgrade file pattern error.
The linksys download page says the file size is 1.10 MB.
The size of the file I downloaded (WRK54Gv2_1_00_1) is also 1.10 MB (1,160,036 bytes). So it appears the file was downloaded successfully.
I had no problem upgrading the firmware to version 1.1.
Please advise.
Thank you

What is the hardware version of your router? Is it version 1, version 1.1 or version 2? Where did you download the firmware of your router? Is it from the US website.
On the US website you have 3 wrk54g, one is version 1, version 1.1 and v2.
