Windows Media File not found

[Vezpx]

Hello everyone,
 

Since a couple of days i've build a new system but I ran into a problem.
When i try setting up windows it says 

I've tried putting it in an 3.0 & 2.0 usb input not working, i followed some video's on youtube but they also didn't give me the solution.
If anyone has any suggestions please help me.
I AM USING AN USB STICK FOR THIS!!

The most common cause of the issue is improper burning of the installation DVD.

It should work fine with a USB drive.

 

Here are more details about the issue:

Hit browse ... does it tell you what file is looking for ? 

 

You could download the ISO file and simply mount it and then let Windows browse for the files it needs. 

 

Go in Device Manager ... see what drivers are shown with question marks or error icons. 

If there is any, you could go and download those particular drivers from whoever made the product - ex if the device is on the motherboard, go to the motherboard maker, to your motherboard model, and download drivers for that hardware device.

 

You say Windows media file ... made with think of Windows media player not having a video codec to decode a video file... 

The box also ways "a media driver" which again hints at something audio-video related

 

Could be the video file is encoded with a video codec that's not built in , like HEVC, VP9 etc  or it could be a media driver in the sense of "sound card driver" missing, unable to play audio. 

 

If you're trying to play video files, my suggestion would be to try Media Player Classic Home Cinema : https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/tag/1.9.19

It has built in video decoders for pretty much anything you'd need.
