forumhound Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Installed OK from vLite'd DVD, but on each re-boot, I get the message "installing Service Pack 3 of 3" the percentage then climbs from 0% to 100%, followed by a reboot and it starts all over again. Anyone any ideas ??Thanks Edited May 15, 2008 by forumhound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 This may be in some combination with integrated hotfixes, already reported. Checking it these days. Until then you can try without integrating hotfixes if you can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviv00 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 got that sometimes too in serveri just remove the pending.xml from winsxs and all back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranceEnergy Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 This happened to me when i tried the servicepack normal install one of the first times around, and i was stupid enough to do some stuff in safemode, in between the booting. Reinstalled and let it finish on its own, everything ok.On install vista or any other o.s. its good practise to unplug any device you dont need during the install. Makes for a faster install, and less searching for drivers on vista media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
