Re: SP2 Will Not Install

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



Most definitely. Dell has his whole article on their website for installing
SP2.

I should have given http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/spackins.htm, the
Checklist, most of all. I meant to. My apologies. I would not have done
most of all that preparation without it.

P.S. My Zip drive driver caused a BSOD. :)) grrrr. And its the lastest
driver.
So now I'll have to figure that one out. But that's the least of it.

Hello there MowGreen!

PERFECT! SP2 installed without a hitch with your excellent instructions.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. And it didn’t break my zone alarm and
Symantec version listed as would be broken. How bout that. I haven’t
plugged my Zip drive back in yet so we’ll see. So far everything’s working
great.
Keep up the great work. I sure appreciate it and glad you’re here.

Judy,

Sorry I didn't get back to your sooner.
Do NOT delete the setupapi.log. It will overwrite old entries so there's
no need to.

You need to add System and Administrators to the entire HKCR hive
instead of hunting down all the subkeys. Then *remove* them after SP2
installs.
PLEASE ... backup the registry before making any changes, OK ?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

Right click HKCR and choose Permissions.
Click Add.
Click the Advanced button > then click Find Now
Click on Administrators, then click OK.
Click OK.
Put a check next to Full Control and Read, click Apply.
Now go back and add System with Full Control and Read.
Close the registry editor.

*** If anyone else is following this thread, please know that incorrect
editing of the registry can render the system as useable as a
paperweight, a bowling ball, or agita.
*** ALWAYS make a backup before editing the registry ***
* Know * how to restore that backup before attempting registry edits.

Oh...I think I answered one of my own questions: Add Administrators and
System under the subkey PersistantHandler, right?

Hi MowGreen.

There is no WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles folder. Can or should I delete the
setupapi.log?

In HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive, Everyone is the only one listed in Permissions.
It has Full Control and Read already checked. How do I add Administrators
and System?
If I click Advanced, under the Owner tab, under “Current owner of this item”
is Administrator.
under “Change owner to:” Administrator and Judy are listed.

I am the only user. I am Administrator and Judy. In User Accounts in the
Control Panel, it has Judy Computer Administrator (and the Guest).
Administrator per se does not show, only in Safe Mode.
I Login when windows starts using Judy. Do I need to take the login off to
install SP2?

Thanks so much for you help. It "sounds" so simple. ha ha :))

Judy,

First off, empty your UserAccount Temp folder located at
Documents and Settings\<YourUserName>\Local Settings\Temp

Make sure there is no WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles folder.
If there is, delete it.
Then defragment the system.



#E008 Setting registry value HKCR\.ivf\PersistentHandler
#E033 Error 5: Access is denied.

Next, go to Start > Run > type in

regedit
Click OK

Instead of resetting permissions one subkey at a time, right click the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive and choose Permissions.
Everyone should be the only Group or User listed, according to the
registry error you posted.
Does Everyone have Full Control and Read permissions ?

Add the Administrators and System and give them the same permissions.
Then install SP2.

Remove Admin and Sys afterwards whether SP2 installs or not.
Defrag the system if it does.

Sorry, Correction:

Following this section is copied Error 2, instead of Error 126.



Near the beginning of the log there was this Error 126. (Someone from Dell
in Texas walked me through updating my graphics driver, if that is what this
is referring to about being unsigned.)


Sorry, this is the 126 error:
