Default Install XP SP2 Problem


I am getting the same message on one of my workstations.
From my Google searches, no one provides a solution yet.


Thanks,
Scott

Default Install XP SP2 Problem

I was having the same problem. After some troublehsooting with tech support,
they had me type the following command at the run line. I believe it fixes
the the registry in some way. In any event after running this command, the
error did not occur again and SP2 was installed sucessfully.

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose /areas regkeys
