Uninstalled that and went through the process of installing the updates and then, finally, the RC1 refresh. Waiting for that to complete to see if there is more information. Just amazing that the refresh has this kind of problem at this point. The install, with its three phases is clunky enough and takes WAY too long.
To get to the end and gets you upset. I was hoping this wold fix the regressions in reliability that SP1 introduced. I've been a proponent of Vista in my organization and in the many others I work with, but I am getting to the end of my patience waiting for sleep, hibernate, and the Intel graphics drivers to work on Vista. XP SP3 is looking better and better all the time.
I downloaded the stand-alone version about MB , but it didn't work. After I executed the self-extractor, after a few pop-ups, nothing happened. No error messages either. Then I downloaded it via Windows Update after having installed the perquisites. Install was finally successful. Now everything is going well. What I plan to do now is to clear the error log and check back after a day what good does it do. I will also post the experience in the relavant threads. Better yet, how about a SP that works??
This is a refresh of a "release candidate", which implies they think it is close to ready for release. It isn't. Worst think is that there isn't eve a problem reporting mechanism for install failures so MS doesn't get feedback and won't fix these issues. That will lead to disaster as millions of users install, fail, and MS is suddenly "surprised". Agreed that very few installs will be on clean systems.
However, it does validate whether or not the SP will install and run on your system before we do all the silly things we do to our systems. If I couldn't install a SP that is working for thousands of other people, I would assume it is a problem with my specific system and try to figure out which of my pieces is causing the problem and report back to Microsoft.
You are right that SP1 isn't ready for release. That's why it is still a release candidate and there may be more "refreshes". Don't get caught up in the words. When it is ready, they'll let us know and then we can debate the "releasiness". Even with all that, MS may still be surprised. I have run the update three times same result each time.
After two failed installs of I read somewhere to stop AVG but that did not help either, the 3rd install also went wrong. I've found that the only thing to do is enable Windows Firewall, disable all protection software such as commercial firewall, anti-virus, anti- spyware and anything that is monitoring registry changes such as Winpatrol for example.
I read in another tread that you should run "sc query schedule" in a cmd prompt and then reboot. After that the install should run ok. Anybody here have tried that? Thanks for the sympathy! Next week I will be in Redmond, maybe I can there get someone to listen Anyway, after 4 tries here is the last "ticket"; error code was all 4 times the same:.
Windows Vista SP1 Beta addresses specific reliability and performance issues, supports new types of hardware and adds support for several emerging standards. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. More fun: I entered the error code in the search-engine of Microsoft TechNet and got the following answer:. This error code is used for many many things It would be nice if the error codes could be more granular.
And, wouldn't it be great if there was actually an actual human readable message that didn't require going to a search engine to understand. I am trying deleting the key that the cmd script creates, rebooting and running update again to see if I get a different result. Well I dele3ted the key and rebooted. I ran Windows Update and it says no updates. So now Update doesn't think it is trying to do SP1 Refresh. Does anyone know if there is a place where the old download version of SP1 Refresh is that I can delete?
The other prerequisite packages KB and KB it needs to install work and install just fine it just can't get over the last SP1 package. Any other of you guys have an upgraded system to Vista or are most of you trying this on a clean install of Vista?
SP1 Refresh doesn't have a standalone installer. Anyway, First few days of Vista SP1 were fine. This morning, my Vista crashed at least 6 times with the blue screen error. Im trying to locate the reasons, one of which seems to be one software I installed yesternight before going to bed. Muhammad, that's the original SP1 RC download, not the refresh version - look at the date on it. Not much luck finding out what this error is exactly, however I was able to install SP1 by doing the following.
Set all non-windows installed services such as Perfect Disk engine, webcam, etc. This service patch is not for the timid! Funny that they did not use a Windows Update method similar to XP SP3 where a little exe is run to set the registry to accept and display the Service Patch.
I expect that MS will get a lot of feedback about this,. All seems well on both machines at this point, however time will tell once I've had the opportunity to run more apps. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Resources for IT Professionals.
