Microsoft provides access to this information and is effective in diagnosing the problems. In case the error message does not furnish the entire information, you need to search for the error code online, by seeking Windows online assistance. If this is also not working, move on to the next step, and search for Windows news groups and communities. You can also look into the error codes online in the Events and Errors message center.

Identification

According to Microsoft support utility, the error code 0X0 is designed to let you know if your installation procedures have completed successfully. In case you find that the installation does not automatically continue, you can repair this problem by restarting the computer.

Probable Causes

Error codes ending with 0 or 1 are usually system errors for which Windows has not specifically identified the cause. In almost all cases, these errors are caused by either hardware malfunctioning or because it is not working in its full capacity. While doing a Windows upgrade, the installation will not move on further, in case the system detects hardware malfunctioning.

If the system detects no error and the problem persists, you can contact the Microsoft tech support to get immediate fix for the issues encountered.
