Error code 0x80070660

Question

I keep gettiing the error 0x80070660 when attempting to download "Microsoft .NET SDK 8.0.201." Been trying for the past few hours but can't get it to work. Additionally, I tried donwloading .NET through Visual Studio Installer which didn't work either. Anytime I try to download anything on VS Installer, I get "The Windows Installer Service is unavailable. Please restart your system and try again." A few restarts later and still nothing. Also, this is a new pc I'm on. Any insight is much apreciated!

Answer 5

Hi Quinton,

I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

How much free space is there on C drive?

for hex 0x660 / decimal 1632

ERROR_INSTALL_TEMP_UNWRITABLE winerror.h

The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or is

inaccessible. Free up space on the drive or verify that you

have write permission on the Temp folder.

Secondly, try changing the download path on your browser and see if the same helps.

Good luck!
