Guest VorTechS Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Hi, I just tried installing Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 from download notifications and the installer looks to get pretty much near the end and then fails with a generic message. I couldn't see anything in the event logs illustrating what the problem was... where can I find the logs? TIA
Guest Dave Patrick Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Re: Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Log file..? Should be svcpack.log in the %systemroot% directory. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.
