Getting installation failed and links lead me to this log.
I've tried about 3 times now after removing prior installs and doing a windows update that just install Windows 7 sp1.
Where exactly can I find the reason it's failing if it's not these files under /100/Setup Bootstrap. Nothing apparent in the event logs.
Could it be the account I'm using for the Service of Network?
