HEC: All the permissions are correct

Comeon Lads, I know you can do better than this!

Anybody?

Turbompc: I changed the rights on the last Regkey, but I don't know which one from setupapi.log I should change? Teh last one refers to my printer in the reg.. Changing the last one didn't help at all.

Means you tried to Uninstall the servive pack from the command line... Did you run this: C:\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\? Might be time to format and reinstall... you have backups right? Uhm I did not try to uninstall anything.. This is the message I get when I run sp2 setup.. I have backups but I really don't like the hassle of reinstalling everythig.

Moving the unattended XP install from my local partition to my server didn't change anything.

All right I had a quick peak in the log files. svcpack.log was the most interesting one. Near the bottom, just before the errormsg I found this: 105.204: UnRegisterSpuninstForRecovery, failed to delete SpRecoverCmdLine value, error 0x2 105.204: DoInstallation: Failed to unregistering spuninst.exe for recovery. 105.219: An internal error occurred. 109.641: Message displayed to the user: An internal error occurred. 109.641: User Input: OK 109.641: Service Pack 2 installation did not complete. so spuninst.exe failed to unregister... I have disabled restore points, but this shouldn't affect the SP2 install as I also have done this on my laptop. Can it be because I have an unattended windows install laying on my harddrive? (not the actual install, but all the files)

What's the difference between this and Norton Scandisk - Thorough?

Nobody???

..on my stationary system. I have installed it perfectly on my laptop, but the stationary refuses to install it. It unpacks fine, but when "performaning inventory" it quits with the message "An unknown error occurred". I have removed the custom bootscreen, and I even tried to install it in safe mode. I have also tried several different downloads (of SP2) but nothing helps. Eventviewer doesn't give me any additional information. The system is XP with all hotfixes (besides windows messenger 4.7), hardware is. P4 2.53@3.3 (Also tried at 2.53) 1Gb of DDR400 Asus P4G8X ATI 9800 Pro 120Gb disk Plextor burner Terratec TV Cinergy 400+ LS120 floppy Soundblaster Live! It has a dual boot with XP and RedHat 9

What is the command for unpacking *.dl_ files? I know I can make them with "makecab", but how do I unpack them? /TB

Yes I know about that. uxtheme.dll is patched up! This is done from my install .bat file? Perhaps I have to include the hacked file in the right cab file on the install cd?

I have set it like this in winnt.sif CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Sentinel_Deviant.theme In my batch file I unrar the Theme files to the right directory, but why isn´t it applied? The last thing my batch does it to reboot the system, when i gets back-up windows is just running in classic mode. Under theme properties it says "modified theme" What is going wrong here? Rgds TB
