"WSreset.exe" not "MSreset.exe"
8.1 install error 0xC1900101-0x40019 and 0x80070652
I tried to install 8.1, and after downloading and appearing to install, my PC hang for about 2 hours. I reboooted and recieved a message that 8.1 could not be installed, and reverting to 8.0. Error message 0xC1900101-0x40019
This morning I again tried to install from the Store, and immediately got a message This app was not installed. Error message 0x80070652
Any idea as to how to install 8.1?

windows button + R
type WSreset.exe
OK or enter
should do it.
I am testing this theory now.,.. :)
Is this a joke? I get "cannot find MSreset.exe...."

I found MS site that you can supposedly download 8.1.... http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
well....
another FAIL on MS...
I have a PC that CAME with windows 8, ALL I FRIGGING WANT TO DO IS UPDATE TO 8.1!!!
at the site, you can choose what you want to download. (8 or 8.1)
so I try to do 8.1 download...it says my key is wrong and it wants a full retail 8.1 license key...WTF?
I try to download win 8 ISO and it says I cant use this key because its not a retail version...FACE FRIGGING PALM...
Lucky we only have 2000 computers here all running Windows...and this much trouble to update to 8.1...
