    Is there a workaround for KB5034441 install failure that doesn't require partition...


    We know about the failure of KB5034441, and the recent recommendations to modify a partition as a workaround. As an old school practitioner since 3.1 came on floppies, and having crashed many a hard disk, modifying a partition seems rather extreme for an update workaround, unsafe, and IMHO highly NOT recommended. My question hence is: Is there another workaround or fix to KB5034441 not installing? How important is this update seeing how update Tuesday is in just a few days?Edition: Windows 10 EnterpriseVersion: 22H2Installed on: ‎8/‎19/‎2020OS build: 19045.3930Experience: Windows Feature Exp

    Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

    Creating larger Recovery partition to correct KB5034441 install failure

    Johann,

    Followed your instructions and everything worked. The Recovery partition now is after the OS partition and update KB5034441 installed without any issue.

    Thank you,

    Wes
