Re: Trouble installing Win XP SP2- Error Code: 0x87FF054F



Before attempting another installation, please read :

Installing SP2
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=45

Are you installing SP2 from Windows Update, the full downloaded SP2, or the SP2 CD ? Suggest downloading the full package if you're on broadband:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en
Save it, do not run it from it's present location.
Follow the steps laid out for " Installing SP2 ".

The CD can be ordered from MS. You pay for shipping only :
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx



If the installation fails again -
http://www.michna.com/kb/WxSP2.htm#Cannot_install_Service_Pack_2

Scroll down to the " Service Pack 2 installation log files " heading.
Turn on Verbose logging as per the steps laid out and try the installation again.
Post back with the section(s) of the setupapi.log that contain error codes/messages. Start at the bottom of the log for the most recent entries and work your way back up.
