Help! Win7 X32 with DAZ loader. I've tried about everything. I reimaged to an Oct setup as I initially couldn't uninstall SP1 RC. I am now clean with WUS updates. I have run the appropriate KB's for prep and upgrade, I have shut off my AV and spyware programs. It will run install, reboot and at about 10% config will roll back, boot up, and give me this error - ox80070490 element_not_found. Any help would be appreciated. I can post my CBS log if needed. I just did not want to do a complete reinstall or OS repair if not necessary.
Not sure if that will do it, I'll give it a shot but it seems to find something it doesn't like while doing the configure in boot up mode.
Tried this prior, I'm up to #3 which would be the fix system files reinstall. Didn't want to do it if not necessary. Also what do I do if it asks for a CD key? Ignore it?
Yeah...I was in this situation once on my x86 Windows 7 Ultimate. Just "Upgrade".....leave the key empty. But after repairing...you need to use Daz loader to make it 'genuine".
Correct...it doesn't matter. For me...I use Daz before installing SP1, just to see if Daz loader is working after SP1.....it does. But be prepare for a long repairs, depending on how many program you have installed, it might take a few hours. Your setting will remains intact though and most, if not all, of your programs should be working fine. I found, in mine, that cFosSpeed is not working and have to re-install.. Good luck!
Thanks guys, all is good now. Downloaded a clean Win 7 copy and did the repair thing. After second boot it worke. I think I had a corrupt .net V4 installation and some modded system files it didn't like. Took about 1 Hr. Applied DAZ 1.9.5 and after going Genuine and letting WUS install all the updates ( except 971033 ) I ran SP1 Wave 1 and everything is back.
doing a repair install will cause .net 4 to crap out, doesn't matter if it was working fine or not there is no need to waste your time installing all the updates first before installing SP1... SP1 includes them all... all you are doing is wasting time and space if you installed all the updates first!
