I am trying to install Windows Vista Home Premium Edition. When I click the
setup.exe, and then click on "Install Now", I immediatly get the pop up
window that says:

"Windows was unable to create a required installation folder."

Error code: 0x8007000D

I am on the administrator account.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have been getting the same error code. I was able to initially
install with no problm, but I had to repartition my drives and run the
x64 XP as well as vista x64 for compatability. I repartitioned them
with XP and installed. After installation nothing worked, I was able to
run windows XP but the CD drive, my hard drives, and internet were not
functional.

I unplugged my 1 terra drive and worked only with my 80 gig SATA,
western digital. I then reset the CMOS and BIOS, and unplugged
EVERYTHING but my keyboard, hard drive, monitor and video card, which
was the initial set-up when everything worked the first time.

Still no luck.......

Next step will be to completely erase the hard drive using an external
tool, cleaning the cd using a cloth, and switching to a PCI keyboard
instead of the USB. Even though I used the USB keyboard for the initial
install.

I tried the steps listed in the last post, no results. I'm getting a
new copy of the CD.

Hey,

TRY THESE STEPS TO INSTALL WINDOWS VISTA ON YOUR COMPUTER

First basic step is to check the hard drive space for the
installation. For Windows Vista, we need 20GB of free space.

1. If you've downloaded Windows Vista from the website, please check
the size of the windows folder. It should be approx ~ 2.5GB

2. If you've any anti-virus software, go ahead and disable / uninstall
the anti-virus software.

3. Put the computer into a selective startup. Below are the steps.

a. Click on start --> In the start search or Run box, please type
msconfig and hit enter.

b. Check on Selective Startup --> Uncheck the *Load Startup Items* -->
Go to the services tab --> Check on *Hide all Microsoft Services* -->
Click on Disable all.

c. Click on Ok and then apply. If you're prompted to restart the
computer, please go ahead and restart the computer.

4. If you've any external devices like printer or scanner, unplug
them.

5. Go ahead and try to install Windows Vista.

If it still doesn't work, please restart the installation booting from
the Windows Vista DVD.

Hope this information should work.
