Win7 to 10 installation keeps failing

[werewoofteeth]

I'm hoping this means the problem is getting smaller?

Yes, for now only one file is still corrupted which I haven't found yet. It doesn't seem to be available for download anymore.
Which versions of "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 ..." are installed. A screenshot would be helpful.

I have two apparently

Please do following:

FRST Registry Search

1. Click the Start button and choose Control Panel.
2. In the upper right corner ensure the View by: is set to Category.
3. Select the Programs group.
4. Click the Turn Windows features on or off link. This will bring up the Windows Features dialog.
   Note: This loads your components hive which is what we want. Please keep this dialog open while you perform the remaining steps. You can minimize it if you wish but keep it open.
5. Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:
   64-bit: Downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
   Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
   
6. Right-click on the file FRST64.exe and choose Run as administrator.
7. Copy and paste 9.0.21022.8 into the Search box and click the Search Registry button.
8. When the scan is complete, a message will display that 'SearchReg.txt' is saved in the same folder FRST was started from. Notepad will open this file also. Close Notepad and attach the file 'SearchReg.txt' to your next reply.
9. You may close any remaining open windows now.

Are you sure "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.21022" isn't installed ?

 

[werewoofteeth]

I have x86 9.0.21022; no x64.

 

[PeterJ]

Okay.
Copy the folder C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc90.mfcloc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b59bae9d65014b98 to your desktop.
Zip the copied folder and attach it to your next reply.

 

[werewoofteeth]

Here you go.

• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.
  
  
• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.

Run the command sfc /scannow in an elevated commandprompt and report the result.

[werewoofteeth]

I think it's finally clear?

 

[PeterJ]

Looks good.
Try the upgrade again and report the result.

 

[werewoofteeth]

No go. Still gets to 75% and hard stops with a "windows installation has failed" window.

[werewoofteeth]

It's not recognizing the expand command. Or DISM.exe. CBS log didn't update.
