Re: failed admin pak installation - w2k3

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Your error indicates:
The Windows Installer service cannot update one or more protected Windows
files. SFP Error: [2]. List of protected files:\r\n[3]

Thus your files are being protected by Windows, verified by you stating:
"Windows File Protection error"

Jabez stated: "Disable Windows File Protection." This should resolve the
problem, have you tried to Disable the Protection Service?

It consistentnly fails when copying files during the admin pak
installations.
Specifically the rasuser.hlp file.

I am puzzled, I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling SP1.

I can install this admin pak in my test environment w/o any issue. I am
having trouble figuring out what is different between our test and
production
environment.

This system is running Windows Server 2003 SP1. This is also the version
of
admin pak that I am trying to install.

I do recieve an error in the Application Log for MSI Installer Error
1933,
canmnot update one or more protected Windows files. SFP error: 1223

Please try:

Disable Windows File Protection.
Install Adminpack
Once done, do a:
sfc /scannow

More info on SFC: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310747

Note down the files that is being restored.

Now, see if the adminpack is working properly.

Hello

We are trying to install the Windows Servers 2003 SP1 admin pak on
many of
our production servers and the installation fails with "Windows File
Protection " error.
I can install this software in our test enviornment without any
problem.

I have done some searching and short of disabling this service, via
modifying the registry, the only answer that I can come up with is
that
the
operating system may contain some corrupt files.

Has anyone experienced this issue?
It does seem to be recoverable by loading the operating system CD
when
prompted.

My concerns are as follows;

If the operating system is corrupt, should we wipe out the servers
and
preform a clean installation? One of the suspect servers was going to
become
a DC on our domain. This installation also fails on member servers.
I am not sure if repairing the operating system is a best practice?
These
are production servers.
Is there any way to verify a clean installation of servers? We use a
emplate
server image for building our servers and I am worried that we have
replciated a corrupt operating system to many machines. (We use
virtual
server software, thus why we copy images of basic server builds. This
is
also
done in our test environment, which as I stated does not have any
problems.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Mark Clark
