SP2 install does not complete: Please help

[Guest ianomanija]

So I made new install of WinXP 64 Edition, instaled some programs, updates,

a game and then Service Pack 2 wich installed but not comletly. It went all

fine till my sistem come back from the reboot. Then the MSI fails and this

error aperes:

 

---------Installer Information

Thw Windows Instaler Service could not be accessed.

This can occur if you are running Windows in safe

mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly

installed. Contact your support peronnel for assistance.

--------

 

This hapends every time I boot. I reinstalled SP2, and followed the step by

step on http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315353 (my setings where alredy as

they wonted me to set them). It did not help. Windows run without eny visible

problem.

 

in case it's related, XML core update fails toinstall too.

 

Please help me, its not urgent, but is driving me mad! Tnx

First, I would update the operating system before installing any other

applications, especially games.

 

Try to run the SP2 installation in save boot mode, which is the

recommended way to install Windows service packs.

Some antivirus software prevent writing the final registry entries. Remove

any av software and try again. If that does not help, contact MS Product

Support Services. PSS support for the installation of security updates and

service packs is free, even for OEM versions. You may have to do a repair

install (in the event of one or more corrupted system files).

It worked!

 

I uninstalled all updates and SP2 then went in safe mode and reinstalled

them and it worked for me.

 

Thank you for the tip.
