Stilez Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Apparently installing Win 7 SP1 was both "not successful" and "completed successfully". Relatively recent x64 clean install (1 month ago) using SP1 offline 900 MB package, appeared to work, but popped up this interesting message when completed. Windows Update still shows SP1 as available to install. Any ideas what it means?
Tripredacus Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 I totally understand the "not successful" part... What does it say under details? Also this screen appears after the reboot, you can ignore it and look at Computer Properties, does it say SP1 there?
Stilez Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 What you see there is after I clicked "show details". It showed the error message DS_S_SUCCESS and a zero error code.It doesn't show SP1.What on earth does it mean that it both succeeded and didn't succeed, with an "error code" being DS_S_SUCCESS?
Tripredacus Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Well the "operation completed successfully" is a standard system message, that's why it shows up there. Whatever the last thing it did (or last recorded doing) succeeded, even though the installation itself failed. Basically, that message is from a sub-process, and not to reflect the entire process.There seems to be a couple fixes for this message. 1. Updating drivers2. installing via Windows update.Social
Stilez Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Web install fixed it. What a poorly designed popup though! Edited February 28, 2011 by Stilez
