Installation Error

[N!ck]

It does not let me drag and drop into cmd.

Try typing it in manually then using my screenshot as guidance. You may want to put the files on your desktop for ease as I've shown it.

Ok, i did it and it says:
File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05.

So no, i couldn't get the values to come up.

Give it a minute, it's probably calculating it. Have a look now it probably took 20-30 seconds after pressing enter.

Okay, something has came up now.

It says;

f573d753a131b77a944063b2b009ba3bc25b9be2 c\users\jamie\desktop\X15-65732.iso

I guess that's not right?

It either means:

a) The one you downloaded is not original/untouched

b) It is original/untouched but there was a problem when downloading which caused part of it to be corrupted/missing. (or a combination of a) along with this)

c) It is original/untouched, but it's a variation by Microsoft, so has a different sha1 hash.

I think a) or b) is most likely.

Your file is called X15-65732.iso - if it is untouched then why rename it? The real file names when you get them straight from Microsoft are the ones listed in my quote a few posts back (either name or other name).

I just downloaded it, i don't know why it's called that or anything.
Don't microsoft have a downloadable installer or something? I have my own product keys, i use just need a 32bit installer because i only have x64bit disk at the moment.

Nope, you can't donwload it from Microsoft.com unless you buy it on their website.

Imo, the best way of getting large files than need to be downloaded perfectly with no errors is bittorrent. BitTorrent downloads the file in parts (generally between 64KB - 4MB per part denending on the filesize) and each part is hash checked (the correct hashes for each part is in the .torrent file) and any parts that don't hash correctly are redownloaded.

Yeah i know, but torrents take ages usually.

Just to let you know, my Windows 7 ISO (I'm 99% sure it's 32bit) is called "X15-65804.iso" and I know that's original and untouched with an MD5 of D8F675AAEB48057452666B0CD686D7F5. That's one I was given by the county before our VLK was active
