I had this problem upgrading from windows 8 to the preview and was never able to install it. Now I just try with the final and same problem is happening.

Microsoft is really disappointing me. This is ridiculous

    Finally I did manage to open it.  Thank you.

    These are the errors in the log

    0x800705B4  --  Error_Timeout

    Temporary connection-related errors may occur when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update

    And this is where I believe the issue lies

    Processing component-Windows-ETW-Core

    Display ID of this manifest is (NULL)

    manifest does not have any migration information


    Without this, you will not be able to upgrade to Windows 8.1


    My suggestion:  Repost to TechNet Forum.  These are IT techs that will be better able to assist you.

    On a Asus X59SL with 4GB RAM and, P8600 procesor, not working anythig. I tray every solution from frums. I obtain just 0xC1900101-0x20017 and nothig else. The Microsoft Programers write wrong software source and wait to enduser to resolve they error.

    L. E.

    Take an laptop Asus 59SL, install windows 8.1 without any error, and prove that I am wrong, and you are right ,when you sustain that is no errors in the source files of upgrade. The parrameter of function, or api ussed is not correct, or not compatible with any computer, that running Windows 8.0 without any problems.
