Q:
Windows Server 2008 installation error with product key
Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 Installation, Windows Server 2008 error messages
When trying to install Server 2008 Standard, after entering the product key, I get the following error, "Windows installation has encountered an error and needs to be restarted. The only option at this point is to select the red x and force a restart.





Any ideas what the cause may be?

It sounds like there's something wrong with the media. Where did you get the installation disk from?

The user says its a DVD from Microsoft. Is there a way to make sure it is the media? Could they put it on a USB stick?

Is the media damaged, or otherwise bad? They could just have a bad disk. They should try calling Microsoft for assistance.
