Windows 2008 R2 will not install on ESXi 4.0 Update 2

Hello,
I am attempting to install Windows 2008 R2 from an iso downloaded directly from Microsoft on ESXi 4.0 update 2. The server is a C210-M2. The iso is booting to the initial install screen properly, but when electing to install I am immediately prompted with "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing." (See attached image)
Wondering if anyone has come across this issue yet and what steps need to be taken to install the OS properly.
Thanks!

Guys,
What you want to do is ensure you have the driver loaded in virtual media when installing the OS. See step 12 in the link below from the Cisco support page.

Hope this helps.

Windows 8.1 will not install the driver for Officejet 6310 All-in-One

Have downloaded the driver from the HP website, but it will not install. The download wizard "detected a problem with the driver software" but did not say how to resolve it. The option to download the software was still available, so I did that anyway. When attempting to execute from my hard-drive, extraction occurs, followed by a delay, and then a message that reads "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way". This is in an error box headed "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library". Can anyone help please?

Hi AB-Comp,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your are seeing the error The download wizard "detected a problem with the driver software". I am happy to help you with this issue! I have some questions for you:
What Operating System are you using? Windows or Mac? What version?
Can you make copies with the printer?
How is the printer connected? Wireless, Ethernet, or USB?
Is the power cable plugged into a surge protector or directly to the wall outlet?
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

Windows 8.1 will not install WSUS Updates

Hi, I have an issue with Windows 8.1 clients using WSUS.
I have had a GPO set up to apply to All my computers in my domain, majority of them are Win 7 and WSUS is working perfectly, updates are downloaded and installed automatically and when user shut down, they have the install updates and shutdown option.
Settings in the GPO are: auto download and schedule the install everyday at 10am from a local WSUS server.
These settings as stated are working perfectly fine on Win 7 clients and updates are installed with no user intervention.
However, with the Windows 8.1 clients, the updates are downloaded to the machines from the WSUS server but they are not installed on the computer. There is no option to update and restart or update and shutdown they just sit in Control Panel\Windows Update
until someone manually goes in and clicks install updates.
I have installed the required updates onto my WSUS server for Win 8.1
I have ensured the GPO is applying to the machine which it is, i have also tried settings the 'Install during automatic maintenance' option in the same policy and configuring all options under maintenance scheduler and still nothing.
I can see that the settings are applying to machines via RSOP and the settings are set and unchangeable in teh relevant areas of Windows.
Automatic Maintenance runs and the time and date stamp for last run time changes but the updates are not installed as part of this and they are still sat in Windows Updates with the 'Install Updates' button. UNLESS i MANUALLY run the Maintenance process
from Action Center
Obviously i don't want my OS update plan dependent on users having to manually navigate to install updates and all this works fine on Win 7 clients.
Any advice?

Is this related?

Windows 7 drivers will not install for Printsmart B209a

Ok, I have tried to solve this for the better part of 2 days on my own.. I have tried every solution I can find by google and forums..
In the device manger it show that my printer drivers are not installed, when i try to install them Windows tells me the drives are not digtally signed and I and not it's not sure they are committable with my printer.. When I tell it to go ahead and intestinal them it tries then tells me it can not due to one of the above..
I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them so many times I have lost count.. I have used a uninstaller to make sure I got every little piece of the driver I can find..
Now when I try to install them, it hangs at about 89% and tells me it is waiting for a SPL response from the printer.. and that never happens.
So can someone please help me with these two problems..
Thanks in advance for your knowledge, time and effort..

Make sure that you run the correct OS bit version download for your computer. Do you have 64 bit or 32 bit win 7? did you install software by cd or online?
if it hangs at 89% , that means your firewall is limiting the installation.
what is the brand of your anti-virus software?

Servers where patches will not install automatically or manually, Live updates are broken and when checking installed updates shows "NO UPDATES ARE INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER" SFC \SCANNOW will not run

Hello, (Bit of a long one but please read)
We have 3 servers in same physical location and server OU etc that are exhibiting the exact same behaviors (we have server servers in this location that are not), as above theyt are all W2008 R2 SP1 and all built from the same standard
image we use on hundreds of other computers, they have also been in production for different amounts of time and we started to see this behavior at different times with them: (Its odd they are all in the same site where there are also several other servers
that are not effected, there must be a link ? )
These servers are all missing several patches when checking our internal tool that reports from IBM endpoint management that we use to deliver patches (they are not all missing the exact same patches some ore or less than other), although
SCCM (we used SCCM to deliver patches until around 6 months ago) and IBM EM are both running (some ptches hark back to the SCCM Delievry days) they are not patching and when attempting to patch manually by downloading the exact patch coresponding to the fixlet
ID and the KB , the stanbdalone installer starts and after some time you receive an error message “The update is not applicable to yoru computer”. Windows update returns error 80070006 for all of the servers.
it is worth noting that other applications and products also using the .MSU extension will insatll so it is not a problem with the installer service.
The above led me to think a corrupt patch may have stopped the sequence of patching so I then looked in “Programs and Features” => “Installed updates” and this is blank for all of them returening the message:
“NO UPDATES ARE INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER”. (this I believe is a part of the fundamental issues and resolving this may resolve the patching)
Another issue is that if you run “SFC /SCANNOW” It starts the scan and then returns: “Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation” (Also in safe mode and both from an elevated CMD and WMI is started as a service)
The all three are probably related so I think fixing the “SFC and NO UPDATES SHOWN” issues will resolve the first.
The things I have tried so far are:
Running : wmic qfe list full /format:htable > c:\updates.htm Should produce a list of updates but instead returns : No Instance(s) Available (this is not hopeful)
Fix: Ran the “SYSTEM UPDATE REDINESS TOOL” from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
Result : Update Ran successfully but NO CHANGE
Fix: Ran the automated and manual fix “RESET WINDOWS UPDATE COMPONENTS” here :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058/en then undated windows update agent.
Result : All ran successfully and NO CHANGE
Fix: Ran MBSA
Result : Runs successfully and then stays at “Done downloading security update information” (Log gives no obvious information)
Fix: Renamed the software distribution folder/restarted services (Various variations of this fix online, tried a few)
Result: Runs as described in article with new Software distribution folder being created,
NO CHANGE
Fix: Create/Correct the reg key for windows trusted installer located here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version (several articles relating to this and the above issues)
Result: the existing key was correct as should be from internal system information gathered , required in article.
Fix: Ran the “Windows update trouble-shooter”
as here :
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/troubleshoot-problems-installing-updates#1TC=windows-7
Result: It detected and fixed error’s but still no change.
The WMI Repository checks out on them all for both of the methods I know to verify “Get-wmiobject –list |measure” and ensure count is over 900 and also “C:\>winmgmt /verifyrepository” and the repository came back as “WMI Repository is consistent”. I guess
this is not hard evidence the WMI is OK, but these are the only methods I know.
I have also tried removing the server from its OU , running a GP Update and then rebooting and testing but to no avail (Bit of a longshot but tried to link the distinction between the three servers and the OU GP is one of them)
I have tried a few other articles registering .Dll’s etc , but I did not take a note of links as I was at the start of this and didn’t expect it to go so long so please reply with anything you see not above im happy to try again.
I have thought about removing SP1 and reinstalling it but this will require a major downtime and only possible if the backup files of SP1 have not been removed.
Any help is apreciated !

Hi,
Please try to rebuil the WMI repository.
For detailed information, please refer to the blog below,

If issue persists, due to sfc doesn't work, could you try to repair your system with the installation disk?

Server 2008 SP2 will not install Windows Updates

I receive this error:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8000ffff: Security Update for Windows Server 2008 (KB2653956).
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8000ffff: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Server 2008 (KB2675157).
These are two separate attempts to install the two updates listed. The first time it failed on the IE9 update so I unselected it and tried the other with the error above. This has been going on for quite some time. At first it would install
some updates and not others and now it won't install anything.
I have Symantec Endpoint Protection installed, version 11, and the definition files are up to date. I ran Malwarebytes and it found nothing.
I read a post about a hotfix called System Updates Readiness Tool but my error (0x8000ffff) was not listed as one of the errors and I hesitate to install it.
I am way behind on updates and really need to get this fixed, obviously. If anyone has ideas, I would like to hear them. I have not found anything online that is specific to my situation.
thanks

KB2675157 (MS12-023) is a superseded and EXPIRED update and isn't going to install anywhere at anytime. It's been superseded -18- times since it's original release. You should have KB2809289 (MS14-012 -- released this month) approved/installed for IE9
on WS2008 systems.
KB2653956 (MS12-024) is from April, 2012, and should have been installed EONS ago (but it has been revised a couple of times, so make sure that you have Revision 103 approved and not an earlier revision).
If the CURRENT updates are failing, then YES, you should download and run the current version of the System Update Readiness Tool from the Microsoft Download Center and implement any remediations recommended by that tool.

Windows XP-Pro will not install on my new P965 Platinum

I hope someone can help me with my problem.
It seems that everytime i try to install Windows XP-Pro after the initial
drivers setup i get this Error Message:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart
your computer. If this screen appears again, Follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified
in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer
for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS
Memory option such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode
to remove or disable components, restart your computer and press F8 to

This is a new build with a Samsung Spinpoint SP2504C SATAII Drive but
when this occurred i thought that it might be the drive that was the
problem.So i therefore put it i my Old PC and tried to install Windows
XP-Pro onto it which i did with no problems at all.
I then put the drive back in my New PC where it Booted Up First Time and
runs OK and i have even installed Software onto it.In fact i am using at
this very minute as i type.
Unfortunately when i still try to Reinstall Windows XP-Pro on my New Build
with my P965 i get the same Error Message as above.
Can anybody please help.

I hope you don't mind me asking this question for Jack the Newbie.
You say i have to use a Windows XP-Pro Install-CD that includes SP2 as well as the JMicron driver for the JMicron IDE-Port which i have my Optical Drive connected to.I know this is telling me how to fix my problem, but what i would also like to know is WHY do i have to install it with SP2 & the JMicron driver like this on my P965 when it installed on my old pc with just the XP-Pro Install-CD.
Your Windows Installation CD should be as up to date as possible, especially for newer hardware. SP1 is from 2002, SP2 was released in 2004. Neither SP1 nor SP2 install CDs provide the proper drivers for the JMicron chipset used on your mainboard. I cannot give a detailed list about the differences between SP1 and SP2. I just know, that there are a lot of problems when people do not use SP2 on Intel 975/965 Chipset-boards which where released in 2006.
When you say that your installation works fine on your old PC I believe you. It worked on my old Laptop too. However I was not able to install XP Pro on my 975X-board without SP2 at all until I upgraded my Installation CD.

Garfield,
I had exactly the same problem--because I had my optical drive hooked up to a Promise IDE controller, rather than to a mobo IDE connection. Turns out the Promise will read and write the optical drives OK, just won't boot from them properly. And, somehow, that affects Windows Setup.
I don't know anything about the JMicron and the need for SP2. But, as you can see from my sig, I'm using XP Pro SP1, and once I moved my NEC 3500 back to the mobo IDE (as secondary behind my IDE hard disk) everything worked like a champ.
Just my $.02.

To relate Garfields problem with your solution is a mistake. Your board does not use any JMicron hardware, has NVidia chipset instead of Intel and an AMD CPU. Your are talking about a totally different Setup here.

Windows 7 Pro will not install on iMac after HD replacement.

I have a late 2009 iMac on which I have OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and ran Windows 7 Professional in Bootcamp. My iMac wound up having a defective hard drive which was just replaced last week under warranty. The problem is now I am unable to install Windows 7 in Bootcamp. I use the Bootcamp assist to partition the HD, it goes through the motions of installing Windoes 7 but at a certain point after 2 reboots and just before it would say Windows is setting up your computer for first use the screen goes black and nothing happens. The iMac is still turned on because if I hold the power button down I hear it shut off. When I turn it back on I can see that Windows was not fully installed.I tried to see what it says running in safe mode, and then I can see that it wants to continue setting Windows up but I get a message that Windows cannot be installed in Safe Mode, and I should reboot but then I get the black screen again. I've tried to repair the installation but to no avail. I've done this using both 32 bit and 64 bit with full disc of Windows 7 Professional but neither work.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and what I can do to rectify this problem? Thanks in advance for any help.

Windows 8.1 will not install because it is asking me to remove apps that do not exist (Office Starter 2010)

I am trying to upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1. The download got at far as 61% complete, then notified me that it could not continue until I uninstalled MS Office 2010 Starter. I do not have this software and it is not in the list of programs that I can uninstall.
I have very few programs as I use this computer for one main task so try to keep it very clean. I remember that when I bought the computer it came with MS Office 2010 Starter, and I bought it just a couple of days before Windows 8 was released (late 2012).
The computer came with Windows 7 and I was able to upgrade to Windows 8 for free after a few days. I remember that the Windows 8 installation appeared to wipe everything - so I thought it had removed the MS Office 2010 Starter - but clearly a part of the computer
thinks it's still there.
Any ideas how I can remove something that I think has already been removed and definitely doesn't appear in my list of programs?

based on my experience you should go back to your manufactured OS (Windows 7) and upgrade to Windows 8.1
for me, its not possible to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrade again to Windows 8.1
If you’re running Windows 7, you can buy and download Windows 8.1 using
Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant. In Upgrade Assistant, you'll have the option to install
Windows 8.1 now, later, or using media with an ISO file or a USB flash drive

New Windows 2008 guest will not start in OVM 3.0.3

Windows Vista disk will not install in bootcamp

I have been trying for several days to install Win Vista home premium (full version). The dvd drive always does the same. It starts to spin up and then I hear it read twice and then it stops and I end up with the light grey screen. I have gone as far now as a full system clean install (and time machine restore). I have tried unplugging everything. I have tried using the original keyboard and mouse. I have read every post I can find. I have tried to boot by holding option key. All hardware checks out fine, the disk is good. Does anyone have any insight into what could be done to correct this issue? Any input appreciated.

Purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC (Windows,English). Will not install.

I just purchased and downloaded Adobe Reader CC and getting "Serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."

Which did you download? Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?
It sounds like Adobe Acrobat Standard if it's asking you for a serial number.
Which one are you trying to download?

My iTunes will not install the latest 12.0 update

Okay, I'll start from the beginning.
I wanted to put a load of my own songs onto my iPhone 4s, but it came up with the box "iPhone won't work unless latest update is performed" or something of the sort. So as you do I went to download the latest update which is 12.0 I think, it downloaded fine it was just when it came to the installation that at the very end it failed and came up with an error box saying try doing it manually, although it didn't give me any indication as to what the error actually is. I tried doing it manually and the same thing happened again. So I've tried god knows how many times to resolve this, but nothing I do works, I've tried; Unistalling iTunes and everything that installs with it, restarting my laptop, temporarily uninstalling my anti virus to see if it was blocking me installing iTunes, but no matter what I try nothing will let me update to the latest iTunes so I can sync my phone!! Please help me guys

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
