I have tried to install the SP1 on a vista home premium and a vista enterprise without luck also after removing antivirus soft Your post here has to be one of the more useful and revealing ones among the hundreds of failed attempts and numerous different errors as well as successes contained in the SP1 Forum threads.
With your excellent effort and time investment you have confirmed what I was beginning to suspect-that the release was made to garner feedback to troubleshoot the errors that seemed to be anticipated by MS, so that changes can be made for a likely 'updated update", perhaps next month.
From gut feel, the number of different errors leads me to think that there are many, many different "initial conditions" in security software, utility software and even hardware among the many machines in which the posters are trying to install SP1, me among them.
I am following your lead and will refrain from installing SP 1 until its next iteration. Judging from some of the stories I've read, I suppose I should consider myself lucky that in the five times I was unsuccessful, my machine always successfully reverted to the pre-SP1 condition and all that I lost was some time while 'enjoying the aggravation'. Let me reword my statement.
I'm not blaming the problem on the firewall What caused my problem was that I had 2 firew alls running at the same time which can cause internet based programs not to function properly In my case the update failed to install, So I turned off one of my Firewalls and I had no more problems. Installation successful and I am aware that not everyone is having the same issues.
Thanks for your suggestion. Just to answer your question, and further to Mark-ilv's post in response to yours, yes, one of my 5 unsuccessful attempts did come with my Norton Firewall turned off and WINDOWS Modules Installer running after I saw both those suggestions in other posts to this Forum. Only the first two attempts were done under the same conditions as I thought merely repeating the first attempt would succeed.
I had no idea it was such a 'roll of the dice' a the time until I found this Forum and realized the true extent and nature of the situation. I still think sitting back and waiting for a 'Final Final' version at this point is the best strategy.
I hope it comes with a clear and comprehensive set of recommended initial conditions. I believe I have a combination of software "states" that is preventing success. I love microsoft tech support, always blaming the hardware and never the software. They will never admit any fault in any of the problems we have had.
Thanks Bill for the almighty notebook and the peoble who read it. Thank you for this post, about being a Beta. I was debating about installing SP1 or not. I like to keep up with updates. I have this computer, new about a year now, and up to a few months ago, had lots of problems with things running right. I am tired of spending hours and days fixing problems.
I will wait a while yet to install SP1. I even returned a software program, for refund, that they said was Vista ready, but was not. This was months ago, and as far as I can tell, they still have problems with that software and Vista. Yeah, I get the same error. I had to manually start the installer, Why was it shut down??? It makes me glad that they never got a dime out of me personally. And as far as I am concerned, if and when Vista is stable, MAYBE, maybe I'll duel boot it on my machine at home, and if so, they still won't see a dime of my money I'll borrow a friends disc Vista is the biggest waste of an OS that I have ever seen Could I write an OS, def not I have unistalled firewall KIS and others without luck.
I have done everything I have found on internet but no luck. Luckily I have True Image so it is quite easy to revert original state after these experiments, but I'm quite disappointed with Vista right now, first time. I updated my system. I did an analyzer from Microsoft that looked at all my software and drivers and it reported no problem. Tried the update again and still no go. I think it is criminal that they wipe out all you system restore points.
Still since they say they have millions of updates being done correctly, they say it is my system I got out the DVD and attempted to reload Vista into the original folder and believe it or not, it failed on the last two minutes and rolled it all back which took 2 hours.
This is my last try and I may revert to XP because I have a few issues with Vista and my scanner etc. Called tech support and they were useless, sorry, but the things they suggested me to do I could have done on my own, and truthfully I bet they were only following a script of listed things to try before saying "your hardware is faulty and needs to be replaced".
Lord be hold it got to the finally stages configuring vista for first time use and it fails, giving me the following message:. Verify that the installation sources are accesible, and restart the installation. Error code: 0XC".
I tried with only one hard drive plugged in and copied the setup cd onto my harddrive and it still failed. Removed 3 of my 4 sticks of ram and it still failed.
The hard drive is just as new as the operating system and I had already run chkdsk on it for bad sectors. In the end, I copied the contents of my entire drive onto a secondary drive for back-up and formated the drive to prepare it for a clean install.
Now there is a few things to note when installing Vista, but the major issue is as follows. When you are selecting what drive to install Vista on from the drive list there is bad code here that makes Vista chose the first drive on the list to store the Master Boot Record even if you chose the 3rd drive on the list.
For example, if you have 4 drives, and you want to install Vista on the 3rd drive that's on the list, it will install on the third drive but put the Master Boot Record on drive 1. This caused me immense grief because the only way to boot the machine was to boot off of the cd and when the "hit any key to boot off of the cd Another problem that happened to me once was that when Vista goes into sleep mode, on certain systems it will kill the nic card causing it to always say "network cable unplugged" despite a cable being present, and no lights turn on on the jack.
To resolve this issue you have to clear your CMOS. I'm not sure what you mean by the "safe mode trick", but prior to my reformats I had already tried an install in safe mode. Ontop of that I also tried installing it after selecting selective startup in msconfig basically I only booted the basic windows services and nothing else which in a sense is similar to safe mode but not quite.
Needless to say neither worked. I wouldn't be surprised if it's one registry entry that one of the Windows Updates changed from 0 to 1 causing us all hours of grief. Hmmm, I will try disabling the windows firewall and try the trusted installer trick later on today.
Don't expect it to work though. I have Home Premium x64 installed and tried to install the stand alone sp1 right after a clean install of vista. Didn't work couldn't install try again on restart , and reverted. So i went on installing other drivers from the dell site for my xps Deliberately left out installation of panda antivirus and internet protection because I had read virus software could be a problem when installing the service pack.
After all the other standard updates, sp1 finally showed up in the windows update application and I tried again. It didn't work. Same problem. Don't want to be without virus protection much longer though. Even windows keeps reminding me of this. Since my system seems to be working fine, I will just turn off updates. This way I won't have see that anoying little icon all the time that is telling me there is an update available that I won't be able to install anyway.
Will try manually in a few months to see whether there are further upgrades and then maybe try again. Incredible though how microsoft keeps getting it wrong with every single version of windows. Also incredible that after a few months and hundreds of posts this problem still has not been resolved. I dont understand what u mean by "make sure it was set up in system configuration" I know how to put it on automatic just dont know how to do that, i tried putting it on automatic thinking it would work like that and it didnt I realized that I had Windows Modules Installer trustedinstaller.
Somebody give MS a medal for this one. This technique worked a treat after trying 5 other ways to get around it, although I did have to disable all third party security as well if that helps anyone else?

If you disable these services, you may permanently delete all restore points.
Do not do this if you want to use the System Restore utility together with existing restore points. OK, there are some prerequisites to the installation of service pack.
