Ctrl-X Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 If you don't get a reaction in 16 minutes after opening a topic, there's no reason to panic... Anyway: could you provide a little more information? Don't you get an error number or something like that? Your SP2 installation may be corrupted; have you tried another CD or downloaded the installation again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl-X Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Looks like a function called "GetProductID" fails with error code 0x80004005, which usually means "unspecified error" (pretty useful error description, huh ) It might be caused by an antivirus program. Do you have one running? If yes, try unloading/disabling it during the SP2 installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Critical updates WILL install in illegal versions (versions with blacklisted keys) but SP2 will NOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJARRRPCGP Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 If it was because of the product key, it probably will be straight. It probably would complain about the product key in the error message. Instead, you got a generic error, thus probably not product key-related.A generic error probably means a corrupted Windows installation or a hardware malfunction.
