80070017 Error code Resolution

[Guest]

Hi

Just thought i would let you all in to know how i sorted the 80070017 Error
code.

Firstly i installed vista on my laptop as a way to see if would absolutely
moan and groan running on 256mb ram and pentium mobile 1.6GHz. It installed
fine and after playing with drivers i got it working. As this was only a test
try for me i thought as it works i will do a complete format on my laptop and
put xp home on then upgrade to vista with it being perfectly clean.

Basically the jist of the story is i was getting error code 80070017 when
trying to install it over xp home which i thought would of just been as easy
as the first time. As other people on the forum mine would stop around the
32% mark and 76%.

After reading lots of forum's and through my trial and error i couldnt
believe that any of the forum's were going to help because i used different
dvd's, downloaded again, different drives etc. Then i realised it always
worked better installing first thing in the morning. Thus coming to me
realising also how hot my laptop would get so when i got home from work i put
the worlds biggest fan blowing onto it and it installed fine.

So for people that are having problems still take into account the memory
heat and cpu heat because i think the installation at certain parts checks
them both and if there too hot will stop the installation to stop the
hardware burning out.

Cheers

I too encountered this error installing on my laptop. I resolved it by first
verifying my download and then re-burning the DVD at a lower speed. (2x, for
some reason my software won't burn at 1x)

Just my $.02. Hope it helps someone.
