Trouble installing windows 8.1 preview

[Jeffrey Chiu_081]

So after watching ncix esther channel showing her BIY about setting up a new system with windows 8.1, so I went ahead and downloaded it and tried installing it but there is a error say E:\Sources\SPWIZENG.DLL "is eitheir not deigned to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Also another error appear "The file ' autorun.dll' could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0xC1]

The download probably got corrupted. I am assuming you downloaded the ISO. You'll have to try downloading it again.

You can even test if your download got corrupted as Microsoft provides SHA-1 hash values for all the ISOs -

 

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/preview-iso

 

You can get the SHA-1 Value of the file you downloaded with this utility - http://download.cnet.com/MD5-SHA-Checksum-Utility/3000-2092_4-10911445.html

If it matches the one on Microsoft's site then something else is causing the problem, if it doesn't then re-download.

I had the same problem, and have found a solution

 

I am in UK so I downloaded the English ISO image.  This failed

 

When I downloaded the English UK version it worked
