Windows 10: Build 10049 Will Download But Aborts Installation

I have build 10041 in different stages on three SSDs. Have had no problems installing updates including new builds in the past. Build 10049 downloads (100%), but installation always aborts - even on one SSD which has an absolutely pristine 10041 - installed with no problems from an iso - and not touched in any way since, except to backup image with Macrium Reflect from a USB to an Lacie USB external storage disk. Can anyone provide an answer to this problem? I've totally wasted many hours with this problem and am beyond frustrated.

Stuck on build 10049

It will expire and then that's it. You have no choice but to upgrade to the official Windows 10 build 10240. You say you were running with Windows 7 before you installed Windows 10 build 10049? You'll have to go back to that version then go through the
free upgrade path. If you don't have sufficient disk space, you'll need to upgrade your hardware to support it.

I was aware of install.esd and I found one dated 3-14-15 on only one SSD which I assume must be the install.esd for 10041. How the devil do I get the install.esd for 10049?

 

Look here

 

Forgot to mention the latest message I got when install aborted on pristine 10041 was "• fbl_impressive 10049 Professional - Error 0xc1900107. Despite searching, I can find no workable answer for this error message concerning build 10049. I am going to try downloading again (absolute pain in the rear-end), and hopefully get a valid install.esd.
If by some chance I get an install.esd which I think is for 10049, I will try your kindly suggested esc to iso approach.

 

Your "good luck" apparently worked. I wiped an SSD, installed 10041 from iso (usb), IMMEDIATELY updated. First updates (Defender, audio, etc.) aborted, then Update (on it's own) downloaded and installed 10049, which seems to be OK. I'm not going to show "resolved" yet because this might not work for anyone else and I cannot explain what exactly transpired. Oh, and I received absolutely no messages of any kind, not even "Install".

 

Glad to hear it is working now

 

I will leave this thread open for just a bit. Perhaps someone may be interested. Maybe can explain exactly WHAT happened. I would like to know for furture reference.

 

Good Grief!
Did NOTHING to SSD upon which 10049 had installed, except disconnect the SATA 3 cable to avoid any possibility of contamination. When I connected again, it refused to boot and the ABMISMAL Win 10 recovery mechanisms would, of course, not work (they NEVER HAVE in any instant). Fortunately, I had immediately made a Macrium image backup and re-installing it works.

 

I wonder why that happens. Others have had that too. I have no issues unplugging drives etc.

 

I re-installed 10049 from image backup. It worked fine. I guess I am a glutton for punishment. Disconnected and reconnected again - same thing. would not boot, could not be repaired. Weird. Does not seem possible. Surely, I am not the only one having problems with 10049. Anyway, AM NOT DISCONNECTING AGAIN. At least anytime soon. Perhaps not the proper forum for this comment. I was rather anxious to see Spartan. Total bummer. VERY BAD! If Spartan is the only thing 10049 has to offer, others SHOULD NOT be any rush to load it. Put your Update Option on SLOW. In my most humble opinion, no need to rush. Unless you like to waste many hours.

 

Forgot to mention, I have practically constantly disconnected and reconnected both hard drives and SSDs for all the previous builds and have had no problems until 10049. Just does not make any sense. At least to me.

 

If you have an install iso image, boot to that using usb.

At the install screen hit shift+F10 for the command prompt.

Then type diskpart hit enter

Type list disk hit enter

Choose the disk that has you windows 10 installation on.

Type List Partitions hit enter

Choose the system partition, if you don't have a system partition choose you windows partition. For now will assume either is on partition one

Type select Partition 1 hit enter

Type Active hit enter

Exit

Now type bootrec /fixboot hit enter
Now type bootec /fixmbr hit enter

IF bootrec /fixboot or bootrec /fixmbr doesn't work. Then you selected the wrong partition in diskpart.

type exit

Close the installation by hitting the x and answer yes to cancel installation. Hopefully it will boot into your operating system.

If I missed a step, someone here will correct me.
