Windows 10: Media Creation Tool error 0x80072f76-0x20017

Mediacreationtool was in the default download folder, I cut it / paste it to the root of c: (the main hard disk) and it works.

 

Just downloaded the media creation tool (both with edge and firefox, copied in diferrent folders ... try to run instead of download)
I have this error 0x80072F76-0x20017 and cannot create the usb to install 1709, anyone have resolved this, ideas?

thanks.

 

Before cutting / pasting it I think I checked run as an administrator in the properties of the file.

 

I tried, no can do, may be a server issue.

 

Drivers were a problem, Windows updated 8 drivers, one was for the RTL 8188EE and it didn't work properly so I rolled it back. I used Advanced System Care Driver Booster it installed newer driver for the RTL 8188EE, worked fine but still had problems. then I used Driver Easy and it downloaded a newer driver where I manually installed it. Driver Easy had drivers for the Intel HD Graphics and Realtek Audio, I went to manually install them and it came up with message saying windows has determine the best driver is installed for those two.
Since updating driver for the RTL 8188EE, those Visual C+++ have been installing.
Still have small issue with something, can be listening to the iHeart Radio APP, music will be playing, the audio will cut out and come back.

 

could it may be a license issue?

 

Download iso direct as follows

Open Edge and press F12 to open up developer pan.

Click on dock/undock button to make pane as a separate window.






Select emulation tab and change use agent string to Apple Safari (iPad)





Minimise developer window (do not shut it down).

Go to

Download Windows 10


You will now be able to download iso direct and create your own bootable drive.

 

I wonder if i have a license issue, since my windows 10 is a free upgrade from windows 8 pro,

nonetheless it's a useful work around to know, thanks!

 

No licence issue at all. You have a digital licence tied to mobo id - this remains in force for life of pc.

 

I think its an issue at Microsoft's end. I had that error message one day, gone the next. I didn't do anything in between except re download the MCT. It seemed to come up just when the EULA would be shown.

 

I tried several times, in several way, downloaded, launched as admin, launched from under the carpet ...
given that "0x80072f76-0x20017" have no meaning it's just a waste of time.

thanks everybody for suggestions and workarounds, peace*Smile

 

I downloaded the iso and flashed an usb using rufus, my pc does not recognize it as a bootable media,
so from windows started up setup.exe from the usb, if it works it can be a solution.

 

Run setup.exe from sources folder not root and you can clean install without rebooting.
