Windows 8.1 WDS Installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed.

When i try to deploy a custom Windows 8.1 Pro Image Via WDS I get the above error. I have enabled Client side logging and checked WDS logs and install logs on the failed installation (Shift+F10). I don't think the issue is a matter of the drivers that are
included in the boot image. If it were a network card issue i would not be able to get the WINPE on the network and start the install. Second i don't think its a storage driver issue, WINPE has formatted the Drive as one may see in  (Shift F10) DISKPART.
If it were a storage driver, it would not see the drive and would not format. I am starting to thing that this may be a Windows 8/8.1 Kernel issue that i have found referenced in other forums.
That Said, I still injected my drivers into WDS then into my boot image, i was unable to do some drivers that were unsigned in WDS so i added them in DISM directly to the images. I forced the unsigned drivers so they could be added. I injected the drivers into
my install and boot image. and still nothing. I then went back and removed, via DISM, all third party drivers from my boot and install image and it's still giving me the error. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can upload logs if needed. 

Hi wkingswt,
In addition, please confirm image file source, prevent capturing yourself or got from faulty image or installation media.
please make sure using right version Windows PE, extract Windows PE from Windows 8.1 installation media.
Check following precautions
First Signed device drivers are a key security feature in Windows. Drivers that are installed on x64-based computers must have a digital signature. If you're adding multiple drivers, you should create separate folders for each driver or driver category.
This makes sure that there are no conflicts when you add drivers that have the same file name.
Also, as a workarround Adding Device Drivers to an Offline Windows Image also is an option.
You could find setup logs from the client computer by referring to following article, and see which driver failed to install.

    Hi,
    The problem is a unsuccesful installation of driver in the driverstore, the first step would be to ensure that you are using the latest driver for the hardware and operating system or you’re experiencing
    compatibility issues with a driver.
    Then I suggest pressing shift+f10, and type diskpart then lisk disk, view whether all disks work fine.

  • Windows Deployment Services - Windows 8.1 Deployment Failure (Required Driver could not be Installed)

    Hello everyone,
    Give you a little background on the hardware/software which we are running to do a Windows 8.1 Deployment, we have an VM of Windows Server 2008 R2 with Windows Deployment Services installed and configured correctly. For the boot image it's a Windows 8.1
    WIM and as for the Install Image we have a base image of Win 8.1 with all drivers installed for an HP EliteBook 8540w , we Syspreped and then capture the image using the W2K capture on PXE to capture and upload the image to the server. This is where we first
    ran into the problem of connecting to the server and had to inject the lan drivers to have network connectivity. After the image was uploaded to the server, we thought to try and run a deployment of that image on an identical laptop. PXE boot into that Image,
    it asks for domain credentials which are accepted it begins the installation process and fails at "Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed"?
    We just set up client logging on the server and it is useless it just says that the driver is missing, but what driver is missing? There are thousands, which one?
    Another forum has this issue:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/4cf0b378-09d0-4e0b-bc6e-3d898b668f98/during-deployment-windows-installation-cannot-continue-because-a-required-driver-could-not-be?forum=w8itproinstall

    Hi,
    Please first check the solution here:
    Error: Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed
    http://support.brainwaregroup.com/kb/article/AA-00702/0/Error%3A-Windows-installation-cannot-continue-because-a-required-driver-could-not-be-installed.html
    Also, please try to find out Setup logs from the client computer, and we can see the details in the Setup log:
    If the failure occurs in Windows PE before the disk configuration page of the WDS client is completed, you can find the logs at the
    X:\Windows\Panther folder. Use Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, and then change the directory to the location.
    If the failure occurs in Windows PE after the disk configuration page of the WDS client is completed, you can find the logs on the local disk volume at the
    $Windows.~BT\Sources\Panther folder. The local disk volume is usually the drive
    C. Use Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, and then change the directory to the location.

  • Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

    Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message,  "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

    My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
    This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
    Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
    I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
    Hope this helps you.

  • 2012R2 Deployment with WDS yields Driver could not be installed error

    Hi
    I'm using WDS installed on a 2008R2 SP1 server.  My boot image is from Windows 2012.  When I deploy a Windows 2012
    R2 image I recive an error dialog during setup that states "Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed."  In checking the setupact.log file it appears as though setup can't find pkgmgr.exe. 
    If I use the boot image from 2012 R2 then it works fine.  I want to continue using my existing boot image from 2012.  Any thoughts on why this is failing?

    Hi,
    The WinPE version is 4.0 in using boot image on Windows Server 2012, which does not support deploy Windows 8.1/2012 R2.
    You should use WinPE 5.0 (from Windows Server 2012 R2) as you just tested. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • 1.5 plugin installer cannot continue because files unavailable

    My applet wants to use any 1.5 plugin with
    codebase = "http://java.sun.com/update/1.5.0/jinstall-1_5-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,5,0,0" .
    But after downloaded the 1.5 plugin successfully and install begins, I get this popup error (that I cannot cut and paste, so anonyingly I'll type in manually):
    Error - Java(TM) Installer
    "This installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version, please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to deterimine if it is still supported. If so, please try installing at a later time, as these files might be only temporarily unavailable."
    I tried to to this plugin install over several days, as of Feb 20, 2005, it is still error popup and NO GO. So my applet is unusable for people who have no 1.5 plugin.
    By the way, this installer worked a week ago.
    Anyone has similar problem?

    Thank you. You are right. The error was actually produced by j2EE 5.0's htmlConverter.exe that
    errorneously produced "1.5.0/jinstall-1_5-windows-i586.cab"
    instead of "1.5.0/jinstall-1_5_0-windows-i586.cab".

  • My iPod cannot be synced because the required file could not be found.  How do I fix this problem?

    Peace.  My name is Free.  Thanks in advance for any help u can offer.  My iPod cannot be synced because the required file could not be found.  How do I fix this problem?

    Hi antiklady,
    I see that you may be having an issue with compatibility of iTunes when connecting your iOS device. This sort of issue can arise if you have two versions of iTunes installed on your computer, which I feel may be the case. Here is an article that can tell you how to identify the version of iTunes that you have open:
    iTunes: How to find which version you are using - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201521
    If the version of iTunes that is opened is not the version you are required to use for the iOS device in question, try searching through your computer or applications folder to see if there may be two versions of iTunes installed on your computer. Then, uninstall the version that is incompatible using these steps:
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

  • IPod cannot be synced because external hard drive could not be read

    I moved my music folder to an external hard drive to create space on my laptop, and changed the location under Preferences / Advanced. Since I did this, my iPod trys to automatically sync but gives the error message "The iPoD "[name]" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." The external hard drive is on and working. Is there some reason that the iPod will not sync with this external hard drive? What do I need to do to fix it? Thanks, Bill

    First question, since you made
    the change, can you still play your music from within
    iTunes?
    Patrick
    Sorry for the delay in answering as I have been traveling. Yes, I can play music from iTunes. The music is located on my external hard drive. iTunes software is on my laptop, and the music library points to the music folder on my external hard drive.

  • Unable to find disk 2. Installation cannot continue.

    RDBMS Version: 9.2.0
    Operating System and Version: Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
    Unable to find disk 2. Installation cannot continue.
    Hello, I have been trying to install Oracle 9i Release 2 into a Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) machine with no success. The installer hangs with "Unable to find disk 2. Installation cannot continue." even if it is configured in the .rsp file the parameters that specify the path to the other disks.
    In some posts I found here (in metalink) there were references to 2 different variable names: FROM_LOCATION_DISK2 or LOCATION_FOR_DISK2 and FROM_LOCATION_DISK3 or LOCATION_FOR_DISK3. Both were set. Parameter FROM_LOCATION_CD_LABEL were also set with value "orcl920" (from the disk.label) and the names of the directories where the install disks where extracted have names like Disk1, Disk2 and Disk3. (I saw in the documentation that if the parameters of the other disks, 2 and 3, were not set in the response file, the installer would look for directories named Disk2 and Disk3 in directories 2 or 3 levels above products.jar, which is located in a subdirectory of Disk1).
    I know this is not a certified combination of OS+DB but it´s just a test DB and won´t be put in production and even this config won´t be put in production in any site but it´s strange that a certification problem could raise an error in this level (what I would expect are linking and dependencies errors and not the impossibility of finding the install disks that are in the same file system and even specified by the parameters).
    Is there another way to specify the location of these disks? Through a comand line parameter of the installer, for example, an enviroment variable or even other parameters in different files....
    Thanks in advance.
    Mauricio.

    Hello PamelaFox14,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you need to log in as the administrator to update the iTunes application properly.
    Take a look at this article named:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    This section in particular:
    1. Make sure you have administrator account access
    To install iTunes or QuickTime software, you need to be logged in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure if you have administrator account access, you may find this Microsoft article helpful:
    Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?
    Otherwise, refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.
    All the best,

  • This ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the Itunes installer to remove Itunes, then install the 64-bit version of Itunes.

    I'm not sure if the error message is related but smart friend was using my computer started deleting Quicktime & Safari and told me that they shouldn't be on my computer as they are not windows product & I can't use them on my laptop. With trepidation but acknowledging I don't know any of the stuff they were talking about, I allowed them to raid my laptop thinking it could be for the best. Now I'm not sure if it is related or not but depsite me having the most recent Itunes updates on both my Ipod 4TH GT, I am getting the following message everytime I connect my Ipod to the computer...and the timing would be about right too:
    this ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the Itunes installer to remove Itunes, then install the 64-bit version of Itunes.
    If it helps I am running the 10.7.0.21 on the Sony Vaio & remember checking last week I do have the latest update on the Ipod but it is a different version from the Itunes on the laptop (which may be normal, I wouldn't know) but as I am away from home & Wifi I can't tell u the version on that though.
    My problem is I cannot find an apple installer on the laptop to uninstall & I have searched Apple & Google for help and have seen others posts with the same issue but alot of the answers unfortunately I can't follow. I would greatly appreciate it if you can you answer any of these questions for me?
    *Will add & remove totally uninstall Itunes so that I can reinstall?
    *Will I lose my apps, music & data?
    *If the apps, music & data is recoverable, how do I do that?
    Sadly I can't find the installer & would love to add my new Mumford & Sons cd to my Ipod collection but don't know how to fix this. I love my Ipod & google but I have spent hours tryign updates, downloads, searches & feedback to Apple. A few months ago I had an Itunes billing problem & there was a webpage where you could email an apple support worker & rhe replied to my credit card problem within a day or 2 but I can't find that help for this problem..I couldn't express my graditude enough if you could help me with this, but thank you.

    This "smart friend" really sounds like a collosal moron.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925  to remove and reinstall all Apple products on your computer.
    Once you get everything working, the next time your "smart friend" wants to touch your computer, tell them firmly NOT A CHANCE IN ****! 
    None of your data (media, podcasts, apps) will be affected by removing and reinstalling iTunes.
