Impossible to install Vista SP2, says needs update of system tool

I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit edition with Service Pack 1.  His ability to perform automatic and manual, updates have not completely.  When I try to update, it tells me that I need what is called a system update tool.  The Download Center Windows says I need Service Pack 2 to use this tool.  But when I tried to install Service Pack 2, it failed, saying he needs the system update tool.

Then... I need Service Pack 2 to install the system update readiness tool, and I need the analysis of system update tool to install Service Pack 2?  Huh?

The only other option I can find for this is to fix the "CBS Manifest" which is apparently corrupt.  To do this, I need to "repair Windows" using "Windows DVD.  But this computer comes with pre-installed Windows and did not come with a 'Windows DVD.

Is there a solution to this problem?  Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.  I ran virus and malware scanners, are looking for things that can interfere with the update process, defragmented my hard drive and cleaned the registry.  What other options are available?

  • Impossible to install Vista SP2

    My laptop came with Vista Home Premium - I confirmed that I have SP1.

    I downloaded the preparation tool successfully KB947821 update & restarted the laptop.  I manually downloaded SP2 but when I go to install I get the following messages:

    -proc not found - error 8007007f

    the procedure entry point? write@cmemorylog@@QAEXJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library c:\windows\syswow64\wbemcomn.dll

    In the last 6 months I also was not able to install .net framework 3.5 via automatic update.

    I had originally thought SP2 has been installed via automatic update, but I've confirmed that my system shows SP1 only.    I now ran into some programs that I can't download because of the update of missing files (ie: latest Turbo tax program).

    Please notify.

    Trust me: you do want not McAfee Security Center or Comcast new freebie Norton installed on your computer!

    Norton and McAfee applications are notorious for not to uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

    1. download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3 uninstall McAfee Security Center via start | Control Panel | The Maintenance and the system (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Programs & features | Installed updates day & reboot.

    4 IMPORTANT! =>, Make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled now; CF. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #8 below.

    5. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6 IMPORTANT! -Online settings reset IE advanced by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

    7. to replace the application of McAfee (for now, at least), download/install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) (free): http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

    8. ensure that MSE updates during installation. If need be, you can update MSE manually via the button of UPDATE in the MSE Update tab.

    If SP2 will not install, open a free support by my first response above incident.

    TIP: Do NOT try to switch to Win7, until you've got SP2 installed & running OK!

    You will find the MSE in favor in these forums: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/mse

  • Impossible to install vista SP2 on my desktop dell home

    I'm trying to upgrade to service Pack 2 (vista) Home edition. But the software will go mthrough the installation process and fail. the error message says this is an unexplained error and try again. I retried over 50 times and it still does not work. If anyone can help?

    Hello Gibbs,
    There may be several reasons why the SP2 installation fails on your computer, a primary being corrupted WMI, we saw a lot of our users complaining about the same.
    If you get an error code 0 x 800 then well want to try the following.

    1. open an elevated command prompt. (go to start > start search & type cmd.) Then right-click on it and select run as administrator)

    2. in the command prompt window, type winmgmt /salvagerepository

    3. restart the computer.

  • Impossible to install Vista SP2 - error 800f0900

    I run the update package and invites me to accept the license. It fails then after about 10 seconds with this error. I tried several times to install the service pack, including the stand-alone version. Other updates were installed fine.  I've disabled my AV (norton) software and closed all programs. I have cleaned the update of Windows, as shown in the steps "General Windows Update troubleshooting" and still get this error. I searched high and low for articles related, and that this error pops up regularly in previous discussions. I ran many times analysis tool, including a new on the list updated as recently as yesterday and I still have this problem.

    The system is a Dell Studio 1737 with 2 x 320 GB drives. No further questions. Help!

    Great help, thanks.  In any case, I found a day 1 Norton Ghost backup on DVD from when the system was brand new. I restored all files in the directory windows\servicing\packages for patches of two problem (955839 and 853839) and catalogues of CSI corrupted in windows\winsxs\Catalogs\

    The response was so corrupted files and installed SP2.  I would have found it much more quickly if, when the tool DONE, he actually TOLD me to look in the newspaper! I had taken a correct end of the update TO mean that she couldn't find any problems.  Seriously, I would put that!

  • Impossible to install Vista updates

    I use Vista 32 bit, family premium, SP1, latest installed update is KB955430. Download and install the updates seem to work - until the moment where my system wants to "configurations". Here, the system stops and removes the installed updates.

    What I've done so far:

    -Tried to install SP2 - no success

    -Tried to install the file "MicrosoftFixit50202.msi" - with no success

    -Tried to install the file "au_check_v78f.exe" - no success

    -Follow all the steps (manually, too) of http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b971058&x=10&y=4 - unsuccessfully

    The 'CBS log.zip' file indicates a missing file without saying which file it should be.

    It makes me crazy... Please advice what else should I do to install the latest Vista updates successfully. Thank you very much.

  • After a reset of vista, it was impossible to install SP1 SP2 so

    as stated above - sorry, 1st time here

    After a reset of vista, it was impossible to install SP1 SP2 so. Finally, it was done via remote control by m/s. If I restore to new testament, I have the same problem? (looks and deliver it with the "build" number)

    I don't know because I don't know what was the problem in the installation of SP1 and SP2.  It is possible that the same issue may occur again.  I don't know any specific build of Vista which has particular problems associated with MS, but I'm not a expert on the Windows updates - if Microsoft Support tells you that it is possible that this is the case.  It may very well work the next time, or you may encounter the same problems again - who knows.  In any case, it is really not that you can do about it, unless you want to buy another copy of Vista with a different "build number" so that you can improve the chances that the upgrades will work without any problem (but do you really want to spend the money on that when all it takes) (, it's a lttle help to get install them again the situation would occur again?).

    I hope this helps.  If you have any other questions regarding updates Windows, including Service Packs, please post in the Windows Update Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where the updates, including service packs experts will be more than happy to help you with your questions or problems.

  • Used to install Vista SP2. error code 800705b 3 error_requires_interactive_windowstation

    I now tried installing Vista sp2 several times and get the above error message.

    I have Windows Vista Home premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1.

    I use Google Chrome as a browser and Kaspersky Internet security as a security suite.

    I have a Dell Dimension desktop computer about 6 years now with 1 GB of Ram & AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual Core Processor5000 + 2.6 GHz.

    Although I am British my windows operating system is in German.

    I tried a lot of different options suggested on google and Microsoft.

    I tried to install windows update, but that has not worked.

    I also downloaded the SP2 and system update readiness tool and tried to install again, which didn't work.

    I tried to install in safe mode. I did a clean boot and tried to install.

    I checked the registry for the vLight folder see if that was causing the problem, but there was no record vLight.

    I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit 50202 but still cannot install.

    I hope someone can help. All tips are welcome.

    Do you think we (or rather you) will be able to decipher this problem or are - it probably that I have to reinstall Vista and SP1, and then try again to install SP2...

    My #1 concern is the fact that your computer has been & still lacks so many updates of security reviews.

    • Support for Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) ended on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Computers still running Vista SP1 "will no longer updates [i.e., updates published after July 12, 2011 so you're now nearly three 3 years behind on security updates critical!]. from Windows Update"until SP2 has been installed (this will require several prerequisite updates be installed first).

    Even if we managed to get SP2 installed, there's a very good chance that one or several updates released since July 12, 2011 will not be able to install.

    Then there's the fact that your computer - and the data on it - has been at risk for so long.

    Therefore, the only way you can ever trust the computer sescurity again would be of formatting the hard drive - and then do a clean installation of Windows (Vista or Win7).

    See the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

    If you need additional help with the clean install of Vista, please start your own new thread in this forum & advice: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

    If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a "BigBoxStore") computer repair shop & let them do the work.

    Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

    Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

  • I can't install Vista SP2.

    original title: my PC crashed and I had to re - install Windows Vista but now I can not install Vista SP2.  I tried all of the suggestions that I could find, how to install SP2 for Vista?

    As I said, I did research any possible suggestion, including stop my anti-virus program, but still not get SP2 to install for Windows Vista.

    Note: Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not to uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

    1. have you (has) uninstall the pre-installed Norton free version to test AND THEN (b) download/run the Norton removal tool [1] & restart (c) BEFORE you installed AVG Free or any other antivirus application (not to mention SP2)?

    2. when (date about) you have to install Microsoft Security Essentials (I guess) and the computer was fully patched to Windows Update at the time?

    2B. was Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) offered & installed via Windows Update or you intentionally chose to install it?

    3 MSE is auto-update itself about once every 24 hours or it is installed?

    4 can update you MSE manually via the button of UPDATE on the MSE UPDATE tab?

  • interruption of the internet connection after installing vista sp2, only a local network

    Hello
    Since I installed vista sp2 last week, I have no internet connection. Just, my laptop connects to the local network. I had already tried to uninstall sp2, but this does not resolve the issue. A restore of the system has not been successful (do not know why, windows just said failure of system restore). I also deleted my antivirus program and my firewall...
    The internet works occasionally for a short time and when I start in safe mode.
    Because I live in a House that I have to use a fix ip, gateway and dns. After you install sp2, windows says my default gateway does not match my ip address and subnet mask when I change the properties of TCP/IPv4. Using another laptop with XP, the internet connection works with the same settings.
    I would be grateful for a quick solution, without formatting ;)

    I've highlighted the TCP/IPv6 line of course ;) the button was inactive when even
    in the registry, I saw WHAT TCP/IPv6 is already disabled

    my internet actually works, but I don't know why
    I deleted the file DisabledComponets for TCP/IPv6 in the registry, rebooted, create one, rebooted and it worked
    but I do not know why :)
    I hope that my internet is still functional
