  • Vista Ultimate SP1 Pro: repeated failures to install SP2 and several failures repeat to install some other upgrades second request for help)

    Hello

    I'm a professional software developer, and in the last five days I have tried in vain to upgrade my Vista Ultimate Pro (purchased in the United States two years ago) SP1 to SP2 and make that the machine is in use.

    I would like professional assistance with this question and the advice to do a "clean" installation and annihilate the four days of settings and configuration of programs and software development tools is not a satisfactory answer: I want to know why I can't do an "upgrade" install: why 'upgrade install' disabled when I launch setup.exe from the original DVD / install install Vista?

    1 SP2 will not install (from Windows Update or the downloaded standalone installer from MS) (see my previous post here):

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/d499b50d-8f67-460f-ACF3-df2ff12ecec7

    for details and for a response of S. Bodin who gave no useful tips).

    2 56! other updates appear repeatedly as needing to be installed, and then they re - install whenever I have closed the computer, and, when I re - starts, they appear as being initialized, or whatever, once again.

    3 IE8 is already installed, .NET FrameWork 3.5 + is already installed (as part of the VS 2010 beta install), but they appear in the queue of facility among the 56 other updates.

    I can honestly say I've lost a lot of time and money dealing with the problems of Vista: it's one of the reasons I have not used for more than a year: I had hoped at the time of SP2, it would be stable enough to use.

  • Error message when you try to use Toshiba Disc Creator

    I recently upgraded to Vista SP1 SP2 and now I get an error message when I try to use Toshiba Disc Creator 2.0.1.3. "An unexpected error has occurred. Error code 32007C-26-00000001 "it worked perfectly before.

    This is the first time that I used it since the update so I think that SP2 may be part of the problem, but I'm not sure. I could not find updates for TDC. My system is a Satellite L305-S5919 with Vista 32 bit.
    Someone has an idea of what could be the cause of this error?
    Thank you

    Have you tried to roll back the OS in time and checking the previous features once again, just to be sure, it has something to do with the installation of SP2?

    I put t know if anyone here can offer a solution but I m quite pessimistic in this topic and don t think that Toshiba provide new version.
    AFAIK Toshiba disc creator is always available with single and also downloadable image recovery application.

    Hello

    already made an update of the BIOS? It would be useful, maybe it s just because the BIOS does not correctly handle the Ultimate. What drivers did you download?

    It s a bit tricky, but I think that if you reinstall, and then put the drivers on it, it should work. Don't forget: Vista Ultimate needs a lot of resources and a bunch of useless stuff that can cause the machine does not properly.

  • I get this new error message when you change the properties of generation for an installer in LV2011sp1. - anyone know what it is?

    I built this front Installer. But I think that this is the first time since the upgrade to SP1. Now when I look at just the proerties for Installer build (I have yet to change), I get this error message when I hit the OK button.

    If I select No., it just stops. If I select YES, it seems to go ok. But I have not tried to build a new installer again.

    Anyone know what it is?

    Photo of the message is attached.

    I find it always useful to publish at least part of the error in your post, while others in the future may seek and find the answer.

    I think that you will be able to correct the error by clicking on the option of additional installers on the left pane, and then click OK to save the build.

    You probably asked to point the installer on some files that were missing since the upgrade.  I think that this occurs when the version of something on your computer changes, but the installer doesn't seem to know other installers until you visit the dialog box.  It would be brutal trying to replicate, but I met the same problem before.

    Service Pack 2 offered by Windows (automatic) update yet?

    Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 service Pack is not available for installation from Windows Update and automatic updates does not offer

    Cause
    This problem can occur for different reasons. However, the following reasons are the most common:

    • Already, you have the service pack installed and do not realize it.
    • You must install another update before you install the service pack.
    • You have not installed Service Pack 1 (SP1) and so you are not offered the option to install the Service Pack 2 (SP2). SP2 requires that you have installed SP1.
    • Components of the system that you must have to install the service pack are not installed on your computer.
    • You have a piece of hardware or software on your computer that is listed in the section "hardware and software which if present will result in Windows Update and automatic updates offers is not a service pack " article.
    • You have installed a preliminary version of a service pack, and it was not properly uninstalled before that you tried to install the final version of the service pack

    Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 is not available to users for which the following update is hidden:

    See article KB, Matt. When the system is ready for SP2 [as in you will be informed of the automatic update], suggest then you download the full SP2 package, save, temporarily disable AVG and then install SP2.

  • Upgrade to Vista Ultimate does not

    Hello

    I had a vista Home premium pc upgrade to vista Ultimate edition (32-bit) without years number 1 or 2.

    Last week, I had a pc crash and had to reset the PC with the factory settings.  Of course, windows update asked a lot of updates and now I have vista Home premium sp2. But when I want to use the anytime upgrade vista ultimate SP1 dvd, it tells me that the option is no longer possible.

    is it because I already have SP2? Should I go back to SP1 to enable the upgrade option?

    Or am I forced to buy windows 7 ultimate upgrade for an ultimate version?

    It would be really unfair. Once, I bought vista ultimate version, I should be able to have a way to upgrade to vista Ultimate edition, without having to switch to windows 7 just top get the vista ultimate features.

    Thanks for letting me know my options.
