The “Windows installation error” is one of the most common error. It can arise due to the presence of virus in the system, outdated drivers, corrupted registry or Compatibility issues.

Try to solve the issue by the following solutions.

Solution 1:

You have to perform certain corrective measures to prevent this error which include running anti-virus on your system. Now, download and install the updated drivers for your system, if available. Fix the problems in Windows Registry, if any. The DVD or USB you are using to transfer files must be working properly. At last, there should not be any compatibility issue with your hardware or system.

Now, try to install the Window again. It will complete without any error.

Solution 2:

Another reason behind this issue could be the security software protecting your system. Your software might be preventing installation of files. So, disable the security software and run the Windows installation file again.
