Windows 8.1 install error 0x80070002


I tried to install Windows 8.1 from the Windows Store and got the error 0x80070002. It seems that this error means that the download was not completed.



  • I tried to restart the installation

  • I tried to clear the windows store cache

  • I tried to delete every thing in the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder

  • I tried to do a clean boot


It always fails with the same error.


As a workaround, is there a way to download windows 8.1 from somewhere else than the windows store?



Answer




Do you have multi-bootable partitions? If yes, mark your Windows partition as "Active". That did the trick for me... – rlyeh



after trying several solutions found on the web (deleting dowload folders, desactivating antivirus...), The solution above just worked fine. Not even necessary to reboot. Thanks
