Installation failure for applications on 64 bit

Discussion Installation failure for applications on 64 bit

    Hello,

    I have a problem that i am really not sure the cause of it (Whether software or Hardware). My computer specs are the following:

    Processor: AMD FX-8120 Eight Cores

    RAM: 4GB

    Mother board: Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3

    HDD: Western Digital 500 GB

    Graphics: Radeon HD6770

    When I install windows 7 32bit version on my computer everything runs smoothly and perfectly. However, when I install windows 7 or 8 64bit things starts to get ugly. I am not able to install some applications. I tried to install Visual Studio 2010 but the installation has failed. I tried to install Adobe Reader and it also failed. Even when installing the .NET Framework 4 it fails. I am really not sure if this is a problem in my windows or my Hardware.

    The installer either crashes or it shows me a message telling me that the installation has failed.

    Please help

    Thank you :)

    Hi,

    What’s the error message? Could you give us the exact error information?

    Or you can go to the event viewer to check if there are more details.

    Hi,

    The errors really vary, the installation just fails. But here is an error that I caught from windows update when I was trying to check for updates; the error code is 8024000E; it says that it is an unknown error.

    Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

    Hi,

    You can try to boot into the clean boot mode to check what the result is:

    if this cannot help, I suggest you run the SFC command to see if you can discovery any corrupted files:

    Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

    for the windows update issue, please reset the windows update components for a test:
