Resolution

Download and deploy the ISO file that matches your Windows 10 edition.

Error Code 50005 / Access Is Denied

Possible Cause

GPO, antivirus, or endpoint security is configured to block external drive mounting or the launching of setup.exe, or access was denied during data migration.

Resolution

1. Allow external drive mounting and the launching of setup.exe in your GPO, antivirus, or endpoint security configuration.
2. Ensure read/write access is granted to the following folders: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData, C:\Windows\System32, and C:\Apps.
3. In File Explorer, navigate to the C: drive. Click View and enable the Hidden items checkbox.
4. Locate and rename the folder named $WINDOWS.~BT.

Error Codes 50006 / -1047526908 / Language Mismatch

Possible Cause

You have downloaded the ISO file in a different language than your system's native language.

Resolution

Download the ISO file in the language that matches your system's configured language, then redeploy.

Error Code 50007 / Version Mismatch

Possible Cause

The downloaded ISO file does not match the system's current OS version. For example, you have downloaded the ISO for Windows 10 1803 but are deploying it to a Windows 10 1809 device.

Resolution

Download the ISO file that matches your current OS version, then redeploy the feature pack.

Error Code 50008 / Unable to Retrieve the Mounted Drive Letter
