Windows 10: "Windows 10 couldn't be installed" Error code 80070005

Yes it so he said it did work that is why he put it up for every one to see

 

I just finished wasting another 2 hours trying this again. Unbelievable that anyone should have to go through this. Just reporting that the dcomcnfg thing did NOT work. Got the exact same error message.

I don't get it: where is MS in all this? If it has to do with too many ppl downloading, then why would they release it to everyone at the same time? An error code that no one seems to have an answer to, or if you get lucky, a random answer that works.

 

Same thing here with the Windows 10 checking,downloading installing up to whatever 99% then 80070005.
After 3x and a couple different approaches I usually say screw it, but 10 or more ....I am .obsessed.
No real answer anywhere..well so far...there is a lot of maybes.
And the great media creation tool job is downloaded and wasting 18.7mb on my drive but won't do anything.

The good new is I did get some new drivers apparently from the 10 package that WIN7 didn't think I needed.
Wireless,ethernet and NVidia. The wireless I had to go to device manager and update driver from there. The PCI gbe host controller(whatever it was called for ethernet network) I had to uninstall, then use windows update.
Both failed previously during the windows update with 80070103.
NVidia worked through Win update. After those three I tried WIN10 again and lost again.
I am happy with windows 7 but just want the thrill of a new operating system.
I'll come back tomorrow after the morning coffee and try the 8007005 error code resolution>cough:cough<...posted above.


Couldn't wait.... whatever that was supposed to do....everything looked spot on.

 

Does that mean it worked??????

 

That means I hid the Windows 10 update....nothing has worked.
I just wanted to post here because it is the exact symptoms I am having.
Wish I had an answer to share.

 

Regret it hasn't worked for me. 4th attempt now and not able to get MediaCreationToolx64 ro run to go that way.

 

Have you tried doing a clean boot then run MCT?

 

Yes, msconfig and reboot more than once!

 

One last idea. Boot to Safe Mode with Networking and try MCT from there.

 

No use, looks like this laptop will stay on 8.1!

 

Many reports of people clean installing 8.1 then immediately upgrading to 10 successfully.
Means you would have to backup your data first though. Image backup would be the best way to go.

 

Thanks, I have managed to get a USB via someone else s PC. I will not be able to try this for a few days as my wife is a bit upset with how long I have spent doing this and we do have a lot one in the next two weeks!
But I suspect I may have the same problems, if so I was thinking of doing a refresh as if that worked it would be a lot quicker than having to rebuild my laptop as its used for photo graphics with a lot of programs. Does any one know if this has worked, running the USB as soon as the original refresh is done rather than doing all the updates first?

But its created a 32bit install so back to the start again!

 

You have to successfully do an upgrade and activation first then you can boot the DVD or flash drive to do a clean install.

 

I have seen that the USB installer is more successful than the ISO/DVD. Using a USB installer to do the upgrade fixed my install woes. Good luck!

 

Total failure the new 64bit USB didn't run at all just as the creator. Looks like 8.1 on this laptop
