Re: Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 will not install

Merv,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Your first link agrees that Windows Server 2003 Service Pacl 1 should be
installed first. It says to run WindowsServer2003-KB8890101-SP1x86-ENU.exe

This is what fails for me with the 'file not found message'

How would I find what file was being sought?

From your link it would appear that a setup wizard is being started. Maybe
this is what is missing.

Any help appreciated

Thankx again

Jim
