We are trying to install SP2 for Win Server 2003. Every time we get the error message indicated at the message title. I also downloaded the sp2 .exe file to run it manually and got:

"The Service Pack 2 h:\.....\i386\update\update.inf is not correct"

I also downloaded the .iso image and got the same error. I look at my event log:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1}

to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I followed their advice, but still keep getting same error. thanks

i know its stupid and basic but have you tried rebooting the server, checking all of the services are running and then trying it again? :)

p.s also temporarily disable Antivirus too might be a good idea

thanks

It failed again! Same error. I was reading around and took a look at my WindowsUpdate.log & svcpack.log files and found:

svcpack.log

I'm NOT sure what to do anymore. thanks

What happens if you grant the Network Service account local activation permissions on the following 2 DCOM components (if they exist):

- IIS Admin Service

- IIS WAMREG

You can see these by running "dcomcnfg", and browsing Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config

Cluberti, how did you know that those 2 dcom components need those rights? :)
My guess would be from the CLSID's mentioned. :)

Every COM object has a CLSID. I mentioned both because they're generally intertwined, and when that message occurs one or both are missing permissions. I don't think it'll fix the SP2 not installing issue, but it'll fix the COM errors.

As to SP2 not installing, can the install be attempted in safe mode? Do we get the same results there, or does it work? I also second downloading the whole thing from the microsoft.com/downloads site, rather than trying to use the windows update binaries.

Ok Cluberti, sorry to go on, but from those CLSID's mentioned in the windowsupdate.log you knew that they were those 2 paticular dcom components? or is there a reference somewhere that i can look to?

thanks

P.S cucolinwin let us know how your getting on with it :)

Windows Update is broken and Microsoft seemingly refuses to admit it! Same overall type of error is known to occur when using Windows Update to apply hotfixes.

You're required to download them manually and install each one by hand in the order that the hotfixes post in the HFSLIP forum list them it or slipstream them and try again.

I tried to manually download the SP2 as I indicated in my first post. I'm still getting the same error:

"The Service Pack 2 h:\.....\i386\update\update.inf is not correct"

I was able to download and install other updates NOT SP2. What should be the next step? Is there a way to contact Microsoft about this issue? thanks
