TB_205 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 ..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 DDR400Asus P4G8XATI 9800 Pro120Gb diskPlextor burnerTerratec TV Cinergy 400+LS120 floppySoundblaster Live!It has a dual boot with XP and RedHat 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msbhi22 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 look for following logs created by windows xpsetupact.logsetuperr.logsetupapi.logbut first of all besides all of this before setting up windows xp . One must run this command satrt > run <cd drive letter > say d:\i386\winnt32.exe /checkupgradeonlyswitch to find compability issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB_205 Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 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 0x2105.204: 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: OK109.641: 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB_205 Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Moving the unattended XP install from my local partition to my server didn't change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsden Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 105.204: UnRegisterSpuninstForRecovery, failed to delete SpRecoverCmdLine value, error 0x2Means 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.
