I have been trying to get SP2 installed since last week. It fails halfway
through giving me a simple access denied message. I am the administrator.
I have an HP TC1100 with a gig of ram. Called Microsoft Tech support and
my case ahs been elevated but am awaiting contact again to see what is up.
anyone here heard of this issue? Thought I'd at least ask.

Thanks,
Mike Lauretti

Hi Mike!

I am using a Toshiba m200 with XP Tablet (and the prereleases of SP2
installed). I also get an "access denied" on ntdll.dll in system32 and
SP2 fails.

I have yet no clue how to solve this (and I do not like to uninstall the
old SP2 just because I would have to remove quite a lot of software, too).

Bye,

Andreas

If you're running pre-released SP2 builds on your system, you should really
uninstall them, then make sure your system is clean of Trojans and any other
possible hijacking or virus infections, then try the installation again.

I've been trying to install SP2 on my tablet, a Toshiba M200. I have a
colleague also trying to install SP2 on a HP tablet. We have the same
problem. When installing it gets to the part that says starting processes
and then stops and gives an error message:
Title reads: Service Pack 2 Setup Error
Red X An error in updating your system has occurred. Select 'OK' to undo
the changes that have been made. OK button.
No other choice but to hit ok then it rolls back the install. Afterwords it
gives this message:

Title: Service Pack 2 Setup Error
Red X Service Pack 2 installation did not complete.
Windows XP has been partially updated and may not work properly. OK Button
Then the machine(s) reboot
They do seem to work ok, but we would like to get SP2 installed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lucy

Were either of these machines running a previous version of XP SP2? If so,
I would uninstall. I'd also recommend making sure you've totally disabled
any anti-virus program or third-party software firewall you're running. Run
a thorough anti-virus check of the systems, too. There are some issues you
may want to check:

Hi Chris,
Neither machine had previous version of XP sp2. Anti-virus is disabled, no
thrid party fire-wall or screen savers. All virus scans came up clean, we
used the ones recommended by MS. All vendor supplied driver updates
installed as well as BIOS. We've downloaded the sp2 executable as well
hoping to get a more defined error message. It's strange it goes through
installing all files, updating registry, and during "Running processes after
install" we get the errors shown in previous e-mail.
We've been searching through documents trying to find anything else.
I've also tried creating a local user only and adding to Administrators
group to install sp2, thinking it may be something with domain accounts.
This did not work, same messages as before. I guess I'm out of ideas on this
and looking for more.
Thanks,
Lucy

Have you tried using Safe Mode? Check in Control Panel/Administrative
Tools/Event Viewer and tap the Application listing in the left pane to see
if either a yellow triangle with an exclamation point or a red circle with a
white X is shown in the right pane around the time of the installation
attempt. This might give a clue to the issue. If it is a driver involved,
Safe Mode will eliminate those until the install is complete and the final
boot takes place. At that point, you could then reinstall the driver.

The good news is it's now installed. I ended up getting the new version of
Tablet PC 2005 CD's and installed as an upgrade and it worked and it
installed SP2.
The (kind of) bad news is that it wasn't a driver. In fact I ended up
looking at the svcpack.log file to see where it was failing. The
installation failed when trying to add a dll to the .Net 1.0 framework GAC.
Anyway, just thought I would pass the information along and thank you for all
the suggestions.

That is good news, and actually very good news, Lucy. I'll pass your
information along to Microsoft. Glad you got it working finally, and thanks
for pinpointing the issue. Do you happen to recall which *.dll it was
failing on?

Chris,
I have had the same issue when installing SP2 on my Gateway M275. After
half way through the installation, it failed and gave me an Access Denied.
Here is the text from the svcpack.log file:

1750.016: DoRegistryUpdates:SetupInstallFromInfSection Failed for
Tablet.Reg.Install: 0x5
1750.016: DoInstallation:DoRegistryUpdates failed
1758.719: Unregistration of sprecovr successful
1760.291: Access is denied.

Need help in understanding what failed and how to install SP2 successfully.

Thanks,

John

8-) So do I, John. What is open and running at the time you attempted the
installation? Is this a downloaded SP2 or via Windows Update? Were you in
regular running mode or Safe Mode at the time of install? It sounds as if
an anti-virus program is running and trying to protect against changes to
the system (which are numerous with SP2).

I too received the same "access denied" message mid way through the SP2
install. Always kept up with the automatic updates, but was warned by my
companies IT dept not to load SP2. Now it appears I do need it, and can't
finish the download. Can't find anything specific to this problem on the net
or with Windows. Ordered the update on CD. Have you ever received a reply or
solved the problem yourself?
