Windows cannot start the installation process
I have windows server 2012 datacenter with hyper-v role that I tried to upgrade to R2 RTM.
All went fine until the reboot and the error "windows cannot start the installation process"
I can start windows server 2012
I must say that I used a ISO file using DRAC for the install.
Is there a log to check for errors?
Hi,
Just a thought, check to see what your BIOS settings are on your computer.
This problem is usually related some potential problem in the disk or BIOS or faulty hardware. The BIOS sometimes limits the read/write scope of boot sectors, to avoid virus attack.
Review the BIOS setting, if there’s any Anti-Virus settings, just disable it, and then start the install again.

Full recovery from disk "Windows cannot complete the installation"? stuck in loop!
I have a satellite A305-6916 in which the hard drive failed, and I did not have recovery media. I bought a new hard drive, and ordered recovery media. I installed the new hard drive...the old one was a WD 320gig that I replaced with a new WD640gig....and I booted the recovery disc. It went through the whole process for like an hour until it got just past where it said "please wait while windows sets up your computer" and then to the Vista splash screen, and then I got an error message with no number that said " Windows cannot complete the installation. To Install Windows on this computer, restart the installation" Then a message followed about Windows will not operate with the hardware on this computer. Now it just endlessly boots to the first message. I click ok, and it restarts, gets to the splash screen and displays the message. I was running vista 64bit with 4megs of ram. If they sent me the Vista32bit recovery disc, could this be my problem? The disc says it is 64bit????
Hi R98,
I saw your post and I will be happy to help. Yes, you will need to do this on a different computer. As for the 32 or 64 bit question; you can't tell from the BIOS but you can use certain information to look up the processor but the install will have to go successfully first.
Thank you,

Error 3: "Windows cannot start the Firefox Service on Local Computer...?
When I click on the Services option under Microsoft Management and try to start the FIREFOX SERVICE I get this hiccup:
'''Windows could not start the Firefox Service on Local Computer;
Error 3: the system cannot find the path selected'''
...Any suggestions on how I can hep Windows find that path?
--I have a heck of a time getting windows to signal my Firefox browser--takes several clicks and over 6 or 7 minutes to emerge!
Thank you for your attention.
marlem388Hi again, cor-el--
Many thanks for your help and diligence.
...I went through your advised operations, made sure I didn't delete my Personal Profile, and so on.
--Did not have a hard time uninstalling Firefox, and after I got rid of the downloaded file,
I continued re-installing Ff.
So all you suggested was fine and effective,
'''BUT''' I still get this weird message under Services in Administrative Tools:
'''Windows could not start the Firefox Service on Local Computer; Error 3: the system cannot find the path selected'''
--All the same, despite Local Computer's stubbornness , Firefox does emerge sooner than before, and I have you to thank for it.
Some day I will learn why Error 3 keeps being blind to Ff's path!

'Windows cannot complete the installation.Restart the installation.
I had a hard drive replacement on my HP Pavillion dm4, and ordered HP Recovery disks (3). Which I then installed along with a Driver supplementary disk. After this laptop finalized software installation and now it says that
Windows cannot complete installation. Restart installation.
Everytime computer restarts I get thos error message. There is no way to get out.
What should I do? Install disks again? I dont know what to do now.Hi R98,

You purchased and Upgrade copy of Acrobat which has this requirement instead of a Full copy of Acrobat which does not have that requirement. You need to go back to your Reseller or Adobe and explain that you purchased the incorrect version.

Problem in the installation process (RESOLVED)
Hi people, I try to install spotify in my computer with windows 7, but the installation process stop working when the program download reach 100%. Any solution? Thanks.
I found this solution for Windows 10 in the support forum: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Windows-Web/Windows-10-and-Spotify-install-crashes-during-installation-fix/td-p/1182709 As for W7: "open up a file browser and in the address field enter %appdata% this will enter the correct path" Going ther and running the install app normally just made it for me. Hope this helps.

I am trying to update Itunes in Windows XP but after going through the the installation process I am getting a message saying "The Older Version Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support". What do I do???
"The Older Version Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support".
Doublechecking before proceeding. Is it saying the older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed, or some other program? (Several different program names can be mentioned in this context.) -
itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?
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
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.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Good day all, I am having trouble installing te latest version of Itunes on my computer.
When it is installing I get a message that states "the older version of Itunes can not be removed."
Then the installations process is aborted.Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via Parallels on my Macbook Pro.
I create a new VM and use the .ISO file and get the error: "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."
I found this question was answered here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b1021d66-9774-4b5b-b50b-ad860c5ecc89/windows-8-enterprise-rtm-installation-error?forum=w8itproinstall
However, following the steps of the solution did not work for me. I created a blank VM and chose Windows 8.1. After this, it asks me to insert the installation disc. I cannot figure out how to use the .ISO as the source at this point. I tried copying and
pasting the path to the file and dragging the file to the VM, but no luck.
If there is a way I can install this without this error message or by somehow getting the path to the .ISO that'd be perfect.Hi,
According to your description, I would like to confirm if you have unchecked the Express installation box.
Be sure to uncheck 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.
I suggest you refer to the following link to use Parallels Desktop to install Windows 8.1.
