Cannot Install Fifa 07 On Windows 8

Dec 21, 2012. Windows xp SP3 mode is good else Win 7. That should solve the problem. December 22, 2012 at 9:07 pm. If FIFA 2011 works perfect on Windows 8 or you need to update your drivers and if it is running in compatibility mode install. December 22, 2012 at 8:58 am. Fifa 12 won't start on. FIFA 14 Game! File Size:6.7 GB System Requirements! Windows Xp,7,Vista,8 Ram: 2 GB Video Memory: 256 MB ATI Radeon HD 3600,NVIDIA 6800GT HDD: 8 GB Cpu:1.8.

It was not as smooth as I thought while installing the Windows 8.1 as a fresh OS in my laptop. Though the OS and other major software installation was smooth, but I faced lots of issues while installing some software's that need.NET Framework 3.5. Did lots of analysis, tried various methods to install the framework but all failed. At the end I got an perfect solution which resolved the problem. Thought to share in case you faced similar, will help you. Issue As I formatted my hard drive and installed as a fresh operating system, my system was completely blank and I had to install all the other softwares one by one. This is really a hectic job but it should not be that much problematic if the Windows installation provided me the.NET Framework 3.5 by default.

Yes, I faced hell lot of issues installing.NET Framework in Windows 8.1 as it was needed by some software like Live Essential 2012. Though I was trying to install it from various package, it was asking me all the time to install.NET Framework 3.5. I was shocked when I saw the system asking me to Install.NET Framework 3.5 before installing.NET Framework 3.5. Did I mentioned anything wrong here?

No, I wrote it correct. The system was asking me to install.NET Framework 3.5 before continuing the installation of.NET Framework 3.5. The things that I tried Let’s discuss what are the things that I tried.

If you want to know only the solution, just go to the next point else continue reading the struggle that I faced with this installation. I had the.NET Framework 3.5 installer package available in my software collection already and first I tried to install from there when I saw the below screen when trying to install the Windows Live Essential 2012. This is common because the Live Essential need Framework 3.5 to execute. I know it already from my past experience with the software. My struggle starts at this point when I saw the same screen when trying the install the package i.e. Install.NET Framework 3.5 to install the.NET Framework 3.5 itself.

Isn’t it too annoying when it placed itself in a deadlock? That’s a perfect example. I tried it twice from the same installation package and when failed, tried to download the installer from online by clicking the “ Download and install this feature” button from the wizard. My bad, that threw me an Error Code: 0x800F081F with a message stating “ Windows couldn’t find required files”, that means, the installer package link has been moved to a different location. In the next step, I downloaded a new installer package from Microsoft Download Centre, same happened. Now I tried downloading it from the MSDN subscriber page. Had a bad luck for sure.

Got the same screen with the same error message. Tried searching online and then tweeted about the error and the “” replied. They asked me to post a Forum thread stating the issue. They don’t have the answer too! I spent a huge time (it’s more than 3 hours I assume) to find out the issue and finally left the PC intact, posted a forum thread and went to sleep as it was late night in India already. In the morning I woke up early (generally I don’t) and tried installing the same again but didn’t get any clue what’s going wrong here. Intel Core I3 2120 Network Drivers Download. Didn’t get any proper solution in the forum too.

I don’t think some one already faced and/or solved this issue. In the next step of my struggle, I tried to install it from the Control Panel –>Programs and Features –>Turn Windows features on or off –>.NET framework 3.5 (includes.NET 2.0 and 3.0), as shown here but that was also not a good try for me. Tried searching in the Windows 8.1 installation media but didn’t find any redistributable package of the framework inside the ISO image.

If it is require by few applications, why don’t Microsoft provide it with the Windows OS itself. This way the end user will not suffer a lot downloading and installing it. That’s a good thought but when I posted it in my Facebook page, got different replies from different people. That’s a long story. Will not cover that here but yes, it comes with the Windows package but not available as part of the installation by default. Read my next point to know more about it.

Final Solution Finally, I found a solution in an MSDN article (shared by sir) which helped me to resolve the issue. When this kind of issue happens with the.NET Framework installer package, we can install it directly from the Windows installation media using the “Deployment Image Servicing and Management” tool, in short DISM command line tool, that helps you to extract the image from the Windows installer package and install it in the system. The.NET Framework package is available under the “ sources sxs” folder of the Windows installation media and if you try to find the framework installer, you will not get it there. You have to use the DISM tool for that. To install the.NET Framework from the Windows installation media, open the “ Command Prompt” in administrator mode and provide the following command: DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:x: sources sxs where: • /Online targets the operating system you're running (instead of an offline Windows image). • /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 specifies that you want to enable the.NET Framework 3.5. • /All enables all parent features of the.NET Framework 3.5.

• /LimitAccess prevents DISM from contacting Windows Update. • /Source specifies the location of the files needed to restore the feature (in this example, the x: sources sxs directory). Once I provided the above command in the console window, it started installing it from the Windows Installation Media. In my case, it was the ISO image of the Windows 8.1 Preview mounted to a virtual DVD ROM. My Question to Microsoft After struggling a lot, my simple question to the Microsoft Windows team who packed the installer: Why don’t you provide the said and required frameworks installed by default with the Windows installation? When I asked the same question to my friends available in Facebook, I got many stated that it would be a huge install and hence will take a lot of time.

Someone stated that, it would need a big installation media and hence it would not be accommodated within a 3GB ISO image..NET Framework is not too huge. Max to max it will take 250-300 MB additional space if not already provided within the ISO image. If it comes with the default installation, people will not face such kind of issues that I faced while installing.NET Framework 3.5.

As it is used by many applications till date, it would be a good idea to pack it as the standard installation of the OS. The good news is: it comes by default with the Windows Installer package but the bad news is: it comes as an optional component. Hence, it will not make the installation media a bigger one as it is already there. Just the point is that, we don’t know (in general) that it comes by default with the package which we can directly install using the DISM tool without downloading additional setup from internet.

So, the question again comes: “ Why.NET 2.0,.NET 3.0 and.NET 3.5 are not part of the standard Windows installation?” and I am still inside a dark big cloud until I get a suitable answer from Microsoft. I know, you will also like to get this answered from Microsoft and will be glad if they provide it by default with the Windows Installation. Credit It was a long post I know but I wanted to share with you my experience struggling to find the solution. It might take some amount of time reading the whole post without directly providing the solution but I know, it will be a good read for you to understand the whole thing.

If you already faced the same issue, you will not have to do the same struggle and directly fix it by using the same steps with the DISM tool mentioned in the “Final Solution” section above. If you had the same experience earlier before reading this post, share the same with us.

Thanks to sir once again for helping me to resolve the issue. Also my sincere thanks to all those friends who helped me with various steps. I assume that this post will help you in future. Don’t forget to share it to your friends or network and help them to gain the same knowledge that we learnt. Anonymous Thanks for your article. Unfortunately it did not work for me (Yes, I changed the drive letter to match where my source files are located). The progress stopped at 66.5% with a message stating The source files could not be found.

I tried it through the Control Panel as well (Turn Windows Features on or off) with no success. It stated that Windows couldn’t connect to the internet to download necessary files (Yes, I am connected to the internet) Sad thing is all I want to do is play The Sims 3 (one of the few games I play) and it requires the.NET 3.5 Framework.

Odd thing about all of this is that The Sims 3 was working on my previous build of Windows 8.1 (I just upgraded my motherboard, CPU & Memory). Any other suggestions? Microsoft had the gall to want to charge me $99 to further assist me when this feature should easily install with either of the two methods (Turn Windows Features on or off or through the DISM method). I even tried a suggestion that involved updating a group policy. That did not work either.

I am at a complete loss here. Something so simple has consumed way too much of my time. I can list 10 different methods I've used to get.net 3.5 installed on my Win 8.1 machine including this one and nothing works.

I can tell you now that this is in most cases an image issue if the above method does not work. The reason I say this is that I have tested this on 2 Win 8.1 machine mounting the exact same image on both for the source. The first machine fly’s through the install using DISM without a hitch where the second Win 8.1 machine fails each time with error 0x800f081f 'The source file cannot be found'. I consider myself a technically advanced individual but I’m completely stumped on why this doesn’t work on some and works on others.

I have scrubbed the registry and even manually added the.net 3.5 container source and it still fails. There needs to be a subtle difference in the image somewhere that’s causing the issue but I’m just not patient enough to find it. I guess what I am trying to say is that if you’ve spent hours, or even days trying to get this down on your box and nothing works I would count your loss and reimage. I know this option blows but take it from someone who has tried EVERYTHING, I guarantee reimaging will take a fraction of the time it takes to find a solution if you haven’t found one yet. This is what I found. There are two Microsoft Security updates for.NET Framework 3.5, KB2966826 and KB2966828. If they are installed prior to the installation of.NET Framework 3.5 it is impossible to install.NET Framework 3.5.

Therefore, I uninstalled the above two Security updates before attempting the installation. I then went to Control Panel >Programs and Features >Turn Windows features on or off >and checked.NET framework 3.5 (includes.NET 2.0 and 3.0). The necessary files were downloaded and installed. A network connection was required. Download Born To Be Wild 1995.

In the next Windows Update the above Security updates were re-installed. I would like to report an almost the same error the others here have reported, but mine is i think a bit of a problem. What i did is do the same thing a the others, i run the command prompt as admin and paste this lines: ' DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d: sources sxs ' And then i get an error almost like this: Error 1117 Could not install cuz of *i forgot what it is* and error about and I O problem.

It keeps happening all over again. I have tried to copy the windows 8.1 installation disk to a partition i have and change the 'x' to 'f' cuz it was my partition letter and the same thing happens again and again and again. Please help me in anyway you can sir, cuz you are my last hope.:(.

Thanks a lot for this post For those who r still stuck FIRST remove these updates and then try again Open Control Panel, click on Programs and Features icon and then click on View installed updates link present in the left sidebar. Now scroll down a little and look for following updates: KB2966826 KB2966827 KB2966828 Uninstall these updates SECOND thing is that if u r new to cmd then pay special attention to spelling and 'spaces' between commands otherwise u will get 'Unknown command ' error THIRD -- U have to provide full path till 'Sources' folder and if u don't u will stuck at 65.8% with error 0x800F081F ' source files not found ' If the sources folder is still there that means u r providing wong/incomplete path so if u have a folder 'XYZ' ( say 'win_8' etc. ) inside your iso/image file/DVD and then 'sources' folder either u have to include this path in your command after you drive name OR u can create a new iso with sources folder outside any folder Worked for me hoping same for u.

I have follow the procedure as advised but i am unable to install having an error Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240] (c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

I am trying to install Fifa 2007 soccer on my windows xp media center computer. It keeps telling me that it can't continue with installation because I need directX 9.0c or higher which I have already installed the newest version form April 2007, but it still keeps giving me that error. How can I check to see if I indeed have the latest directX installed, And if I do, Is there a way to bypass that error message while installing that game or could it be that there is something wrong with the game itself?
