error copying files

During the start of the installation, when copying windows files it shows an error saying... "An error occured while copying setup files onto your local machine. Error code [80070241]."

I had the same issue. It seems at least in my case, that the Akami downloader corrupts the file. When i used a different download manager, I checked the MD5 sum. It matched. I then burned the image to a DVD-R at 4X in Nero.
I then no longer had file copying isuues... But now...lol i have the dreaded 0x0000007B error.. Over 40 times I have been greeted with the error after Vista's first install reboot...
So, download again, using different download manager, check MD5 sum, then burn at 4x in Nero..
Hope this helps you
