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.

  • During deployment :windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed

    What to do?
    Thank you in advance.

    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 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.

  • 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]

  • Im trying to install iTunes on my friend's Dell XPS, running windows vista ultimate (32-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:   "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be instal

    Trying to install iTunes on my Laptop, running windows 7 (64-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services"

    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.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Itunes 10.2.2 not installing message is -Service 'ipad service'could not be installed. verify that you have sufficient privelge to install system services . I have windows 7 , am administrator in windows 7, but i have an iphone not an ipad, Hints?

    I tunes tries to update over and over again to 10.2.2.  Each time it fails and lists  message"Service 'ipad service'could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privelege to install system services."
    I have an iphone and use itunes to update it. I do not have an ipad if that is an issue.  Is this problem related to apple, or to Windows vista?  I am system administrator on Windows 7 so the problem must be related to apple. I would appreciate a clue as to what I need to do. Or are there sufficient problems with 10.2.2 that I should be happy it will not update? This problem is getting beyond annoying since i have work to do other than cater to apple itunes.

    I would say it is Windows.
    Which are you using btw, Vista or 7?
    And did you download the 64-bit version if that is what you run?
    There were a lot of tips to troubleshoot (never needed to in 4 yrs though knock on wood).

    Troubleshooting note
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    Creating a new User-Account and log into this
    This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
    Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
    version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
    Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
    iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
    This You do by
    First -  close iPhoto
    Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    Thirdly - now select all five options presented
    THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
    free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    Screen must be set to million-colors
    Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

    Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install. Appreciate if someone in the forum can help.

    The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod.  The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked.  I was very grateful.
    Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem.  The same backup to corrupt file was the message.  The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error. 
    When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy.  Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
    Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat.  Any thoughts about doing the following?
    1) creating a cloud backup
    2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
    3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
    4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
    This is the next thing on my list.

    I identified the reason to be that the W8 installation file didn't download completely from a Mac OS-device. I downloaded from another Win-device and the moved the installation file with a USB-stick and then everything worked diectly! But thanks anyway.
