Windows 7 SP1 Installation Failed with C0000034

I am now running Windows 7 x64 full time and had the same issue with an HP Officejet Pro L7590.

1. Verify you have the latest Windows 7 x64 compatible NIC drivers when connecting through Ethernet.
2. Verify you have the latest Windows 7 x64 compatible mother/mainboard drivers.
3. Download the latest driver install kit from HP. Since they don't have Windows 7 drivers officially released yet, use the latest Vista x64 available.
4. Run the HP driver/software installer in compatibility mode by right clicking, selecting properties, and then configure the Compatibility tab for Windows Vista SP1 or SP2.

The connection problem appears to have been the drivers for me. But once the connection issue was corrected with new drivers, the software would not work correctly after install until I ran it in compatibility mode.

Norton Ghost 15 is not a deployment program, it's a low-end entry-level single-user consumer PC backup program that happens to be sold under the "Ghost" brand even though it's completely technically unrelated to the genuine Ghost product line (the same code as "Norton Ghost 15" is sold as an equally low-end corporate backup program under the name "Backup Exec System Recovery" although it has no more relationship to the genuine Backup Exec product line than it does to Ghost).

Genuine Ghost is still sold for corporate deployment by Symantec, although it was shifted to being sold under the name Ghost Solution Suite when PowerQuest was acquired by Symantec due to PowerQuest's imminent failure after several years of sustained losses. As part of that acquisition the genuine Ghost product line was unfortunately put under some ex-PowerQuest management, who then cancelled the genuine Ghost product outright and rebranded the ex-PowerQuest products as Ghost in the consumer market to try and get a free ride on the very valuable Ghost brand.

Genuine Ghost was then uncancelled in early 2006 after the Veritas acquisition put Ghost and the ex-PowerQuest products under former Veritas executive Jeremy Burton, however the branding confusion deliberately created by the ex-PowerQuest executives was by then entrenched enough that it was impossible to undo ("Norton Ghost 10" was refreshed and sold as "Norton Save & Restore", but sold under US$1M despite being the exact same thing as the older product branded as "Norton Ghost" which continued to outsell it by more than 20:1, thus despite the damage to the Ghost brand caused by the consumer product things were left alone as they were).

The genuine Ghost product has since the late 90's been capable of deploying and reconfiguring thousands of machines through centralized management; although in April 2009 Symantec once again cancelled the product and this time laid off the development team, it's still sold and widely used, and the imaging tools in Ghost Solution Suite are also sold as part of the more expensive Altiris Deployment Solution product line.

There's a Symantec-hosted forum for the genuine Ghost product as well.

Full disclosure: I am a former Symantec employee who was one of the lead developers at Symantec on the genuine Ghost product line.
