Re: 0x643 and SP4 (Win2K)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You want the Network installation package which is 129.2 MBs :
http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/6/A/E6A04295-D2A8-40D0-A0C5-241BFECD095E/W2KSP4_EN.EXE

Sorry about any confusion. Once it's downloaded, sign off or disconnect the system from the internet. Close Internet Explorer.
Here's the link for the Installation Read Me :

Advise you to peruse that prior to installing SP4.

The small file that supposed to blow up into a real live installation. Sorry, didn't
mean to mislead you but I thought that WAS the update.

I've tried uploading the upgrade from IE6 and from FoxPro and
get the same result.
Must I order a CD and install it that way?
Did you download the entire SP4 package or are you attempting to install it from within Internet Explorer via Windows Update ?
The entire package is available on this page :
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp4/default.mspx

If you're downloaded the entire package and are receiving error 0x0643
along with a message about IE running, and you did not open IE, then as Robert has already pointed out, there's a strong likelihood that the system is infected with malware.

Please let us know which method you have chosen to install SP4 ...
either via Windows Update with IE open, or, by downloading the entire SP4 package. OR, if it was by another method.
