  • Vista SP1 RC installation error 0×80070059 solution

    I still do not know the exact cause of why Vista SP1 RC1 kept failing to install on one of my machines, resulting in error code 0×80070059. However I must thank the Microsoftee Darrell Gorter who lead me to the solution, the simple solution I might add. The solution was simply to copy the file winusb.inf from c:\Windows\system32\DriverStore\FileRepository\winusb.inf_0362a280\winusb.inf to c:\Windows\inf. After copying the winusb.inf file there the Vista SP1 RC1 installation completed with no error codes at all!
