• Способ 3: Повторное создание загрузочной флешки или диска
• Вопросы и ответы

Следующие инструкции актуальны для всех поддерживаемых версий Windows, поэтому вы можете использовать их вне зависимости от того, какую сборку выбрали. Для начала рекомендуем ознакомиться с общими советами, а если это не поможет, переходить к методам, направленным конкретно на решение сложившейся ситуации.

Способ 1: Общие рекомендации

Есть несколько простых действий, выполнение которых иногда положительно сказывается на исправлении проблемы «Windows не удается установить необходимые файлы» во время установки операционной системы. Их осуществление не займет много времени, однако может помочь максимально быстро отыскать причину неполадки, исправить ее и завершить установку ОС.

• Отключение периферийных устройств. Если во время инсталляции ОС к компьютеру подключены не использующиеся сейчас периферийные устройства — веб-камера, принтер, клавиатура или флешка — рекомендуем отключить это все на время установки Windows. Сделать это не так сложно, поскольку понадобится только вытащить провода из разъемов. В случае когда это не принесло должного результата, не спешите обратно подключать это оборудование, а попробуйте следующие советы.
• Отключение второго жесткого диска. Многие пользователи сейчас устанавливают в свой компьютер два или больше накопителя, на один из которых загружаются компоненты операционной системы. Во время ее установки отключите диск с пользовательскими файлами, чтобы у установщика не возникало конфликтов с выбором необходимого HDD или SSD. Если ранее вы не сталкивались с отключением жесткого диска, ознакомьтесь с первой частью инструкции по следующей ссылке.

  Подробнее: Как отключить жесткий диск

• Форматирование жесткого диска. При попытке установить новую ОС на жесткий диск, где ранее уже присутствовала Windows, перед началом основного процесса рекомендуется форматировать накопитель, избавившись тем самым от старых файлов. Учитывайте, что делать это стоит только когда на носителе уже нет важной для вас информации и вы готовы расстаться с тем, что на нем хранится.

Это были самые простые и очевидные действия, которые иногда позволяют избавиться от сообщения «Windows не удается установить необходимые файлы». Если ни одна рекомендация не оказалась полезной, воспользуйтесь следующими методами решения данной ситуации.

Способ 2: Проверка оперативной памяти

Появление рассматриваемой проблемы нередко свидетельствует о проблемах с оперативной памятью, поэтому для начала вытащите планки и поменяйте их местами или используйте другие свободные разъемы. Если после таких манипуляций ошибка осталась, лучше проверять ОЗУ на работоспособность. Делается это при помощи специальных программ, открывающихся с загрузочной флешки или непосредственно в ОС (при условии, если старая Windows у вас запускается нормально). Детальнее об этой теме написано в другой статье на нашем сайте по следующей ссылке.

Подробнее: Как проверить оперативную память на работоспособность

Особое внимание обратите на софт под названием MemTest86+. Его преимущество заключается в том, что он запускается из-под BIOS или UEFI, что позволяет проверить оперативную память даже без наличия операционной системы. Развернутые инструкции о том, как осуществляется взаимодействие с данной утилитой, читайте в материале от другого нашего автора.

Способ 3: Повторное создание загрузочной флешки или диска

Иногда запись образа с ОС на флешку или диск проходит не совсем корректно или какие-то ошибки допустил сам пользователь на стадии создания накопителя. Ошибки с загрузкой файлов приводят к появлению различных ошибок, в том числе и к отображению на экране сообщения «Windows не удается установить необходимые файлы». Принцип создания загрузочных флешек с разными версиями Windows практически не отличается, но есть особенности, которые нужно учитывать при записи в зависимости от выбранного ПО. Общие инструкции по этой теме вы найдете, нажав по следующему заголовку.

Installing Windows can be a tedious process, and sometimes errors such as Windows cannot install required files can appear and interrupt your installation. This is a big problem, and today we’ll show you how to fix it.

Windows cannot install required files error while installing Windows, how to fix it?

1. Make sure that your DVD drive is clean
2. Remove overclock settings
3. Attach your hard drive to a different SATA port
4. Make sure that you’re installing the correct version of Windows
5. Disable Execute Disable Bit option in BIOS
6. Make sure that you’re not installing Windows on a large partition
7. Change the hard drive type to IDE
8. Check your hardware

1. Make sure that your DVD drive is clean

If you’re installing Windows from a DVD or a CD, you might encounter Windows cannot install required files message if your lens is dirty. To fix this problem, it’s advised that you clean your DVD drive lens and check if that solves the problem.

There are several methods to do this, and you can a disc with a brush to clean your drive. Alternatively, you can open your DVD drive and clean it, however this may void your warranty. If you’re not careful you can even damage your DVD drive, so if you don’t know what you’re doing, we advise you to stay away from this method.

After cleaning your drive check if the problem is resolved. If you don’t have the necessary tools to clean your drive, make sure that your DVD disc doesn’t have any scratches on it. If your disc is scratched, we advise you to create a new installation disc and try using it instead.

2. Remove overclock settings

Many users tend to overclock their hardware in order to achieve enhanced performance. By overclocking your hardware you put extra stress on it, and sometimes overclock settings can prevent you from installing Windows.

Several users reported Windows cannot install required files message while trying to install Windows on overclocked PC. According to them, the only way to fix this problem was to enter BIOS and remove overclock settings. After disabling overclock settings, try to install Windows again and check if the problem is still there.

3. Attach your hard drive to a different SATA port

If you keep getting Windows cannot install required files message, the problem might be your SATA port. It seems that certain glitches can occur, but several users claim that they fixed the problem simply by connecting their hard drive to a different SATA port.

To do that, you’ll need to power down your PC, disconnect it from the power outlet, open the case, and connect the SATA cable that goes to your hard drive to a different SATA port on your motherboard. If you’re installing Windows from an optical media, you can also connect your DVD drive to a different SATA port and check if that helps.

Bear in mind that opening your computer case will void your warranty if you purchased a prebuilt PC.

4. Make sure that you’re installing the correct version of Windows

As you may know, there are two types of Windows available, 32-bit and 64-bit. While 32-bit is almost completely replaced by a 64-bit version, but some users might still use 32-bit hardware. Bear in mind that you can’t install a 64-bit version of Windows on 32-bit hardware, and if you try to do so, you might get Windows cannot install required files.

Therefore, before you try to install Windows 10, check what type of motherboard and CPU are you using. Almost all new hardware is using 64-bit architecture, so if you purchased a new PC, it’s rather likely that you have a 64-bit CPU. However, you can always visit the manufacturer’s website and double-check it just in case.

5. Disable Execute Disable Bit option in BIOS

According to users, sometimes Windows cannot install required files message can appear due to certain settings in BIOS. According to users, it seems that Execute Disable Bit setting was causing this issue in BIOS.

To fix the problem, enter BIOS, locate this setting and disable it. To see how to access BIOS and disable this setting on your PC, be sure to check the motherboard manual for detailed instructions. Once you disable this feature, check if the problem is still there.

6. Make sure that you’re not installing Windows on a large partition

Windows cannot install required files message can sometimes appear if you’re trying to install Windows 10 on a large SSD. Few users reported this issue while trying to install Windows 10 on an SSD drive that had a single large partition.

According to users, they had to create two partitions on their SSD drive, and after doing that, the problem was resolved and Windows was installed without any issues. We’re not certain how and why this problem occurs, but if you’re trying to install Windows 10 on a single partition SSD, be sure to try this solution.

7. Change the hard drive type to IDE

If you’re getting Windows cannot install required files while trying to install Windows 10, perhaps the issue is your BIOS configuration. According to users, sometimes this problem can occur if your hard drive is set to work as an AHCI device.

To fix the problem, simply enter BIOS and change the hard drive type to IDE. Once you do that, you should be able to install Windows without any issues. After you install Windows, you can switch back to AHCI mode and everything should work without any problems.

8. Check your hardware

In certain instances, your hardware can lead to this and many other problems. If you keep getting Windows cannot install required files message, it’s advised that you inspect your hardware and ensure that it’s working properly.

The most common cause for this problem is your RAM, and in order to test your RAM, we advise you to try removing additional RAM modules and try installing Windows with only one RAM module in your computer.

If you want to be sure that your RAM is the problem, we advise you to use the MemTest86+ tool and use it to test your RAM. Simply start this application from a flash drive and let it run for a couple of hours. If it gives you any errors, it’s certain that one of your modules is damaged.

To find out which module is the problem, you can test them individually with MemTest86+, but that might take a while. If your RAM isn’t the problem, perhaps you should inspect other components and check if they are working properly.

Windows cannot install required files message can prevent you from installing Windows, but you should be able to fix this problem by using one of our solutions.

Here are some similar problems that users reported:

• Windows cannot install required files Windows 10 0x80070570, 0x8007045d, 0x80070003, 0x80070002, 0x8007025d – This issue can occur if your installation media is damaged. Be sure that your DVD disc isn’t damaged or create an installation media on USB flash drive and try to install Windows again.
• Windows cannot install required files network problems may be preventing, the file may be corrupt, the file does not exist, may be corrupt or missing – These are various problems that can appear, but you should be able to fix most of them using the solutions from this article.
• Windows cannot install required files. make sure all files required for installation are available – This error message usually occurs when there is a problem with the installation disk or flash drive. 
• Windows 10 setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file – This usually happens with files downloaded over the Internet, and one of the solutions from this article should help.
• 0x80070022 windows cannot install required files Windows 10 – If using the official Media Creation Tool gives this error, switching to Rufus to burn the ISO to the flash drive should fix the issue.
• Windows encountered a problem installing the driver the system cannot find the file specified – Use chkdsk first and then manually download the appropriate driver to fix this issue. 

Не удалось завершить процесс установки.

Windows не удалось завершить процесс установки. Всем привет, в этой статье мы попробуем исправить проблему инсталляции Windows 10 на физический компьютер. Её признаки заключаются в том, что та при попытке её установить или обновить отказывается это сделать, показывая ошибку типа

Не удалось завершить процесс установки. Чтобы установить Windows, перезапустите процесс установки.

Наиболее частой причиной такой ошибки является невозможность для Windows выйти из режима аудита. Её решение изначально и описывалось в статье Наиболее частые ошибки Sysprep . Однако проблема иногда подстерегает пользователей и при переходе с Windows 7 на Windows 10. Так что есть смысл вынести решение проблемы в отдельную статью.

Не удалось завершить процесс установки: какие варианты решения у нас есть?

Итак, пользователь может столкнуться с ошибкой на этапе формирования учётной записи. И, как уже указывалось, иногда так происходит при обновлении Windows 7 или Windows 8 до Windows 10. А иногда и при переходе Windows 10 на новую сборку. Однажды мне пожаловались на ошибку при попытке сбросить настройки Windows до заводских через консоль восстановления. Исходя из этого можно было бы попытаться решить проблему такими способами:

Запускаем восстановление запуска…

…если проблема вас подстерегла именно в момент обновления Windows 10. При появлении окна с ошибкой можете перейти в меню дополнительных опций Windows. До него легко добраться, выбрав Перезагрузку с кнопки Пуск, зажав при этом клавишу Shift:

выберите Автоматическое восстановление

Активируем учётку Администратора

• запускаем консоль команд cmd, набрав Shift + F10
• набираем команду mmc, вызвав консоль MMC
• в панели действий выбираем Файл – Добавить или удалить оснастку…

• выберем последовательно Управление компьютером – Локальным компьютером

• Согласитесь с выбираемым и ждите появления пункта Управление компьютером (локальным). Выбрав его, проходим далее по пути

Служебные программы – Локальные пользователи и группы – Пользователи

выбирая справа Администратора.

Убедитесь, что чек-бокс у пункта Отключить учётную запись снят . Если это не так, снимите, затем нажмите ОК и по выходу из окна задайте пароль , проходя через диалоговые окна с предупреждениями:

Консоль можно закрыть и после перезагрузки проверить решена ли проблема. Если нет, продолжаем.

Ещё одна учётная запись

Если ошибка Не удалось завершить процесс установки снова здесь, опять запускаем консоль cmd клавишами Shift + F10 и вводим последовательно две команды

Запустится установщик создания учётной записи Windows. Пройдите все этапы, включая создание пароля. Вполне вероятно, что вам понадобится информация по активации Windows. Перезагружайте Windows и проверяйте.

Не удалось завершить процесс установки: слабый пароль учётной записи.

Нередко причиной появления ошибки является неприемлемый с точки зрения настроек домена пароль к учётке. Так происходит нередко при присоединении к домену в работе в режиме Аудита. Виной тому настройки локальных политик. Повторим процедуру запуска командной строки через Shift + F10. На этот раз введём команду

и выйдем на настройки Локальной политики безопасности по пути

Политики учётных записей – Политика пароля

Сбросьте настройки требований к паролю как у меня на рисунке (или удостоверьтесь, что у вас аналогичные):

Если вы что-то изменили в описанных настройках, перезагрузите компьютер и проверьте сделанное.

Настройки реестра: что там делает Sysprep?

Ну… вы поняли: Shift + F10 с выходом на консоль cmd. Теперь запускаем редактор реестра regedit.exe с выходом на ключ и его разделы, выставляя параметры как указано ниже. Если какой-то из параметров отсутствует, проходите мимо к следующему:

Audit: 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetupStatusChildCompletion

setup.exe: 3

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetupStatusChildCompletion

audit.exe: 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetupStatusSysprepStatus

CleanupState: 2

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetupStatusSysprepStatus

GeneralizationState: 7

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetupStatusUnattendPasses

auditSystem: 0

Нужно выйти из режима Аудита

Затёртые до мозолей пальцы снова зажимают Shift + F10, вызывая консоль cmd. Оттуда мы покидаем режим Аудита принудительно:

Если после перезагрузки Windows окно с ошибкой снова появилось удалите в реестре через редактор regedit.exe параметр ImageState в разделе

Перезагружайтесь. Теперь, думаю, всё. Успехов.

Ошибка «Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation» при запуске клонированной виртуальной машины Hyper-V с Windows Server 2012 R2

Это первая часть очередной истории о том, как можно наступить на грабли, там, где обычно этого не ожидаешь. Началось всё с того, что для очередного развёртывания нескольких однотипных виртуальных машин Hyper-V с гостевой ОС Windows Server 2012 R2 был подготовлен эталонный образ виртуального диска с установленной ОС. В эталонный образ были включены все актуальные обновления, после чего для уменьшения размера диска был применён метод очистки хранилища компонент Windows в каталоге WinSxS, а логический том системного диска по своему объему был усечён таким образом, что на нём оставалось около 5GB свободного пространства. Перед отключением ВМ в эталонной гостевой ОС по законам жанра была выполнена утилита sysprep. В дальнейшем с этого образа было успешно развёрнуто несколько ВМ, имеющих конфигурацию ВМ, сопоставимую с эталонной ВМ. Спустя некоторое время после всей этой истории с пониманием того, что ранее несколько развёртываний с образа прошли успешно, была предпринята попытка развернуть ещё пару ВМ с этого же образа.

К нашему удивлению при первом же запуске новой ВМ гостевая ОС отказалась загружаться с сообщением об ошибке » Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run onthis computer’s hardware » на этапе первичной инициализации.

Аналогичная ситуация повторилась и на второй новой ВМ, которую мы попытались развернуть с этого же образа. Попытка повторного перезапуска на обеих ВМ привела к другому сообщению об ошибке » Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation «

Далее после нажатия кнопки «OK» система отправлялась в перезагрузку и при следующей загрузке ситуация со второй ошибкой повторялась.

В попытках понять суть происходящего, в момент возникновения последней ошибки (не нажимая кнопки «OK» в окне сообщения об ошибке) жмём волшебную комбинацию клавиш Shift+F10 и попадаем в окно командной строки, выполняемое в контексте прав Администратора. Выполняем листинг содержимого файлов на системном диске C: …

…и обнаруживаем, что свободного места на диске практически нет. При этом размер файла подкачки pagefile.sys , размещаемого по умолчанию в корне этого диска имеет внушительный размер.

И здесь мы вспоминаем про то, что предыдущие успешные развёртывания с данного образа виртуального диска выполнялись на виртуальные машины, имеющие небольшой объём ОЗУ, а последние две ВМ, где мы столкнулись с проблемой, при создании были сконфигурированы на использование большого объема ОЗУ. И предположительно, причиной невозможности корректной первичной инициализации системы стал раздутый файл подкачки.

В такой ситуации можно попробовать умерить аппетиты гостевой ОС на расширение файла подкачки, установив на время ограниченный максимальный размер файла. Для этого из уже открытой командной строки можем вызвать апплет управления свойствами системы sysdm.cpl. В открывшейся форме переходим на закладку управления расширенными настройками Advanced и в блоке Performance нажимаем кнопку Settings. В дополнительно открывшейся форме переходим на вкладку Advanced и в разделе Virtual memory используем кнопку Change чтобы изменить параметры файла подкачки.

Отключим используемое по умолчанию автоматическое определение размера файла подкачки, укажем первичный и максимально допустимый размеры файла через опцию Custom size (например, от 512MB, но не больше 2GB) и нажмём Set, затем OK.

Теперь можно попробовать перезагрузить виртуальную машину, и при следующей загрузке гостевой ОС свободного места на системном диске должно быть достаточно для нормальной первичной инициализации системы. В нашем случае одна из ВМ загрузилась успешно, а вторая ВМ, не смотря на доступность места на диске продолжила выдавать ошибку » Windows could not complete the installation… «. Вероятно, в процессе первого запуска ОС с наличием проблемы с нехваткой свободного места на диске с механизмом OOBE (Out-of-Box Experience) что-то пошло не так.

На фоне сообщения об ошибке жмём уже знакомую комбинацию клавиш Shift+F10 и, попав в командную строку, перемещаемся в каталог C:WindowsSystem32oobe , где выполняем ручной запуск утилиты msoobe.exe

В случае успешного вызова этой утилиты перед нами должно появиться стандартное окно первичной настройки параметров системы, которое появляется при первом запуске ранее sysprep-нутой системы.

После того, как определим языковые параметры, и на следующих двух экранах примем лицензионное соглашение и укажем учётные данные администратора, мастер первичной инициализации закроется и мы снова вернёмся на первоначальный чёрный экран с открытой командной строкой, в которой вызовем команду штатной перезагрузки гостевой системы:

В нашем случае после перезагрузки гостевая система успешно загрузилась.

Если ранее установили небольшой фиксированный файл подкачки, то не забываем его вернуть обратно в автоматический режим, либо указываем другой устраивающий нас размер.

Делаем вывод, что если нам заранее известно то, что внутри шаблонного виртуального диска на системном томе гостевой ОС немного свободного места, то перед первым запуском ВМ лучше установить минимальный объём ОЗУ, исходя из которого система не будет пытаться создать файл подкачки большого размера. А уже после окончания процесса первичной инициализации можно будет увеличить размер ОЗУ ВМ до нужного объёма. Ну или же при создании эталонного диска можно устанавливать небольшой фиксированный размер файла подкачки, который, возможно, потребуется после первичной инициализации новой гостевой ОС, выставлять обратно в автоматический режим либо увеличивать под свои нужды.

С другой стороны, если Вам критична стабильность и предсказуемость работы развёрнутой из шаблона гостевой ОС и Вы испытали проблемы в ходе первичной инициализации OOBE, то лучше пытаться выполнять развёртывание повторно до тех пор, пока оно не отработает штатно. То есть лучше безжалостно удалять виртуальный диск, где первичная инициализация ОС прошла с ошибками и цеплять шаблонный диск к новой ВМ повторно для получения нужного результата. В противном случае с такой «кое-как взлетевшей» системой может случиться ещё несколько историй в духе «О сколько нам открытий чудных …». Одной из таких дивных историй я поделюсь в следующей заметке.

Windows can not start the installation process

Windows can not start the installation process = O windows não pode iniciar o processo de instalação

I’m desperate, I asked in several forums and nobody can solve this problem.

I already researched Google just that I do not find anything about this error, both in English and in Portuguese, only similar installation errors appear but they are not exactly the same.
I have tried to go in windows / system32 / obbe and run msoobe.exe only that there is no file called msoobe.exe.

I was using Windows 10 when I decided to go back to 7. I installed using setup.exe from the image and had never experienced this problem before

If you get Windows cannot install required files message with error code 0x80070001 while installing Windows 11/10 on your computer, you can follow these tips to troubleshoot the issue. We have discussed almost all the possible causes and solutions in this article so that you can get rid of the problem. The entire error message looks something like this:

Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for the installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070001

The main reason why your computer displays such a message is file corruption. If the bootable USB drive or DVD is corrupted, you can encounter this issue while doing a fresh installation of Windows OS.

To fix Windows cannot install required files error, follow these steps:

1. Remove external devices
2. Re-create bootable installation media
3. Assign less disk space for the C drive
4. Change setting in Registry
5. Reset BIOS

To learn more about these solutions, continue reading.

1] Remove external devices

If you have connected any additional external devices such as an external hard drive, Bluetooth devices, printers, scanners, etc., it would be better to unplug them. At times, those devices might create conflicts and interrupt your installation. As a result, you can find the aforementioned error with various error codes. That is why it is recommended to remove all the external devices before restarting the installation process.

2] Re-create bootable installation media

As mentioned earlier, a corrupted ISO causes this issue in most cases. If you have faced this problem while installing Windows OS, it is time to re-create the bootable installation media. However, if you have already formatted your computer, you won’t be able to use the same to create the installation media. In that case, you need to use another computer.

To create Windows 11 bootable installation media, you can follow this step-by-step guide. For your information, you must re-download Windows 11 ISO as well.

3] Assign less disk space for the C drive

Many times, your computer might not process the entire disk space as the system drive if you have old hardware. That is the reason why we are asking you to assign less disk space for the C drive or system drive. For that, you must delete all the partitions and re-create the C drive.

4] Change setting in Registry

In case you are trying to install the same version of OS on your computer, there is a chance of getting this error because of some old Registry files. That is why you can verify them using these steps:

Press Shift+F10 to open the Command Prompt.

Type regedit and hit the Enter button.

Navigate to this path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdate

Find WUServer and WIStatusServer.

Right-click on each of them and choose the Delete option.

Then, close all windows and restart the installation.

5] Reset BIOS

Changing the wrong settings in the BIOS could also cause this problem on your computer. That is why you can try resetting it to get rid of the problem. If you don’t know the process, you can follow this guide to reset BIOS settings to factory defaults.

What is error code 0x8007001?

You can find two error messages with the same error code. If it says Windows cannot install required files, you need to follow the aforementioned solutions. However, if it says Installation disk is not working properly or something else, you need to check your hard drive and re-create the bootable installation media.

Read: Windows cannot install required files, Error Code 0x8007025D.

How do I fix Windows unable to install?
