Windows cannot install required files

[a dirty wet sock]

So I'm trying to reinstall Windows 10 but I keep getting the error "Windows cannot install required files 0x8007025d"

Anyone know how to fix this?

Are you doing a clean installation? or upgrading it?

Where did you download your ISO from?

are you starting the reinstall from within windows or are you booting to a windows 10 setup disk?

A clean installation

1. Try writing zero to t he drive using GWSCAN 5.12 or similar program (Burn the iso to a CD) and then try installing windows again
2. Try burning a new diskette of windows CD
3. Try installing windows on a different computer to understand if the problem is Hard Drive related or a mere CD problem

Did you use Rufus to make the drive bootable and to contain Windows? I can't think of a more effective one to recommend.

Yeah I used Rufus.

I would remove the hard disk and slave it to another machine so you can run Checkdisk with the /r switch to find and fix any errors. I base this on the possibility of some bad sectors those files were trying to land on.

Sadly I don't have any other machines to test on right now

you could try getting some kind of rescue disk that would allow you to delete all the partitions and format the drive before doing the windows install

That's what writing zero to the drive does with GWScan i mentioned before, try installing the iso of GWScan on rufus
