"Modern Setup Host has stopped working" when trying to update windows using ISO setup

[TessellatedGuy]

Hello, I was trying to update to insider build 14965 from 14955 with the official ISO file from microsoft to no success as the installer crashes after a few seconds into the "Making sure you're ready to install" part with the message "Modern Setup Host has stopped working". I also searched the event log and found this:


Faulting application name: SetupHost.exe, version: 10.0.14965.1001, time stamp: 0x581d55ce
Faulting module name: ucrtbase.dll, version: 10.0.14955.1000, time stamp: 0x58098594
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00000000000485f7
Faulting process id: 0x1d78
Faulting application start time: 0x01d252e1733b5b4f
Faulting application path: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\SetupHost.exe
Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\ucrtbase.dll
Report Id: c3bf261e-01b3-4cd3-b853-f182b5326b98
Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:

Is there any way to fix this? I see that the faulting module path is a ucrtbase.dll which is a visual studio (Which I uninstalled long ago) .dll. Does that mean anything? I've also tried deleting the .dll but the installer doesn't even start that way.

Could be similar to this

If your system has 32 GB or 16 GBs of Storage - It might not support the Technical Preview

I actually have more than 300GB of storage left

Try this then #4 seemed to work

HOW did you run the ISO?? Mount it?

I've tried that solution already but it won't work for me because I get the message "C:\$Windows.~WS\Sources\Windows\sources\setupprep.exe is unavailable".

Yes, I mounted it.

I would using something like rufus and extract the ISO to a flash drive if you've still got it. See if does the same thing

Do you want me to boot from the USB because that doesn't allow me to "update" windows when booted from the USB, you can only do that through windows itself.

You should still be able to boot from the flash drive if you use rufus.

It's the same thing as mounting it. Except the files are on a flash drive. That folder you posted I would delete it if you've got the ISO

Okay... Just tried that, and it still crashes :/

Looks like that build is full of bugs. I wouldnt bother with the preview versions
