SP2 fails to install properly
After downloading the SP2 file, the installer is
initialized and it starts to install SP2 (update 1 0f 1). 1. After about 10 minutes, there is a red Message Box "Access is Denied," with an OK box to check. Then 2. Message box: "SP2 did not completely install. Select OK to undo changes." 3. "Windows XP2 Removal Wizard" supposedly removes the bad SP2 install. 4. Message box: "SP2 installation did not complete. Windows XP has been partially updated and may not work properly." Questions: 1. Why was access denied? I was logged on as a user with Administrator privleges. 2. There were 15 SP2 hotfixes installed. How many SP2 hotfixes should be installed when it's successful? 3. How can I reinstall SP2 and check for OS System Integrity after a SP2 install? |
