Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / February 2006Windows ME setup error
When I try to install Windows Me Upgrade from my CD I get to a 10% complete of copying files and get the following message. SU0325 Windows Millennium setup cannot continue. This issue can be caused by a corrupted .cab file that has been copied to the hard disk. This corruption can be caused by a virus or by failing hardware, but is most likely to be caused by a scratched, dirty, or damaged CD-ROM. I have updated Norton and ran my virus check and it looks clean, I see no hardware problems that are evident. I have tried to clean the CD but still nothing. I tried to install using another CD ROM and get the same error. For a newbie at copying files from the CD is there a simple fix to this problem or will I have to purchase Windows ME again? System currently has windows 98SE on it. Thanks for any help that can be offered. See MS KB 270593 - ""Error SU0325" When Windows Me Setup Is 10 Percent Complete" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=270593) which explains this error message. Basically one or other of the various cab files could not be copied to your PC resulting in a damaged copy on the hard disk. Probably due to the CD being scratched, dirty or otherwise damaged but just possibly due to some other hardware problem or even a virus. The KB explains how to determine the file in question and makes some suggestions as to how to proceed. > will I have to purchase Windows ME again? Hopefully not. Try copying the contents of the Win9x folder on the Win Me CD to your hard disk and then running setup from the folder to which you copied the files. > I have updated Norton Oh dear! No version of Norton plays happily on Win Me. Norton is better known as the Win Me system destroyer and worse than any virus.

You need to turn OFF all AV protection when installing ME - if NAVis installed, it's generally a better idea to remove it completely (and not bother putting it back afterwards!)
