Problems installing sp2 on Vista...

I can't install SP2 for Vista. I installed SP1 and I tried to install sp2 via windows update in which the update actually installed, but after the reboot, I get a message saying that the update could not be configured correctly and changes reverted.

I also tried to install it manually, but I get an error message saying "C:\Windows\system32\sqmapi.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program with the help of the orignal installation media or contact your system administrator or support software provider."

I also tried a system allows to browse the command line to check all of the corrupted files, but generally the process was not successful... ! Any help would be appreciated!

Hi MichaelPlaster,

Given that you are always faced with the question, I suggest doing an InPlace Upgrade\Repair installation using the full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to install the stand-alone SP1 package.

Note perform a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer. However, before you perform an Inplace upgrade, you can take a backup of important data. In case of a worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall all the programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or other external storage devices before performing an upgrade on the spot.

To perform an upgrade in-place, follow these steps.
a. close all running applications.

b. Insert the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

c. in the settings window, click install now.

Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

d. Click Start and type Drive: \setup.exe in the box to start the search.

Note the placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

e. list programs, click Setup.exe.

f. in the settings window, click install now.

g. click go online to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).

h. type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.

i. Select the operating system on the page "Windows Installer" you want to increase the power or Inplace.

j. click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.

k. on the type of installation do you want? screen, click upgrade.

l. Once installation is complete, restart your computer.

For more information, please see the link:

How to perform an upgrade on the spot on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 & Windows Server 2008 R2

Once the upgrade has completed, you must activate your copy of Windows Vista.

For more information about how to activate Windows Vista, see the following article:

    Follow the info below to try a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  • Stuck on the screen saying 'Shutting Down' after trying to install SP2 on Vista

    So I got problems with my Windows Vista. The day passed or it would freeze completely, all programs not responding. I looked around, and he said that a possible solution would be to install SP2. So I did. As he installed the first of 3 updates, it got stuck at 44% for an hour. Then, she moved to say Shutting Down, which was during the last two hours.

    I don't know what to do now. During the installation, he said do not put off your computer, and while it is said that is no longer, I'm still hesitant to do. Any ideas on what I should do? In addition, would set the gel I described previously by SP2? Or do you know of anything that could be causing it?

    Thank you

  • Error code 8024200d when installing SP2 for Vista Home Premium (32 bit)

    I use Vista Home Premium (32 bit).  When Windows Update recently
    tried to install SP2 (several times), the quoted error message
    repeatedly prevented installation.  Google showed a number of similar
    references to the problems associated with SP1 (from one year or if there are and less).  Is
    There is a work around for this message because it applies to SP2?

    Hi Colonel biggs,

    Welcome to the Forums Microsoft Vista

    This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

    · A program on your computer interfered with the installation of the service pack.

    · There is an inconsistency in the store of Windows services. The store Windows maintenance is a required component to install service packs.

    To resolve this problem, try each resolution in the 'General resolution"and the"Advanced Troubleshooting"section in the order in which they are presented. After trying a resolution, try to install the service pack again. If you can't always install the service pack, try the next resolution.

    Resolution 1: Install the stand-alone package for the service pack instead of using Windows Update to install the Service Pack

    Note If you have already tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack and you have encountered this problem, skip this resolution and go to resolution 2.

    If you don't know if you've tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack, it is recommended that you try the following steps to install the stand-alone package for the service pack. By using the stand-alone package to install the service pack, you eliminate installation issues that may be related to Windows Update. This simplifies the troubleshooting process

    Solution 2: Run the system update readiness tool

    System Update tool checks your computer and trying to resolve certain conditions that can interfere with the installation of the updates or other software. However, before you download the tool, you must determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit version or a 64 bit version of the Windows Vista operating system. If your computer is Windows Vista installed, and you know which version you are using, go to the section "how to download the system update readiness tool. If you are unsure which version your computer has installed, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start

    2. collapse this includes it in the Search box, type System, and then click System in the programs list.

    The operating system is displayed as follows:

    · For a 32 - bit version operating system, 32-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

    · For a 64 - bit version operating system, 64-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

    After you determine which version of Windows Vista, your computer is running, download system update readiness tool.

    Resolution 3: Close or disable any applications that may be running, restart the computer and then install the service pack

    1. Close all applications and restart your computer.
    2. Once your computer has restarted, disable any antivirus or any antispyware application that can load during the startup process. You can normally disable the notification area application. This area is located in the bottom right corner of the computer screen. To disable an application in the notification area, follow these steps:
      1. Right-click the icon of the third-party program.
      2. Click Close, disable, outputor an equivalent term in the list of options. If these options are not available, you may open the application and then close or disable in the application.
    1. As soon as you close the antivirus or the antispyware software, try to install the download package full of the service pack that you previously downloaded from the following Microsoft Download Center Web site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)

    1. After completing the installation of the service pack, enable the antivirus or the antispyware software that you disabled in the previous steps.

  • problems installing SP2 and code 80070490

    I am trying to install SP2 manually because my updates do not work.  Once I download it, it tells me that I have to install SP1 first.  According to my system, I'm already running with SP1.  Don't know what to try before you take it into the store.  Any suggestions?  I tried to uninstall SP1, and then reinstall it, but it is not in the list of updates to uninstall.  I don't know what is happening.

    I also get the error code 80070490 when I try to check the updates.  The Help Center tells me to do something with the disc, but as usual, I do not have a.  It came not with my computer, even if the program doesn't, do not know why they do not give you the drive.  I was wondering if there was a way to get one if my computer is under the age of one year, or what I have to do.  I want to try to solve this problem on mine before you take it to the store.  I absolutely don't want to pay $ 300 to $ 400 for a disk when I already have the product.

  • Is it still useful to install SP2 for Vista on 64-bit system? What are the benefits?

    OK, so I have Windows Vista Premium Home Edition on a laptop HP with Service Pack 1 installed. I have disabled the automatic updates of Windows functionality, because there are so many unnecessary and space-hogging updates that I can't be bothered. I've never had a problem with the system or security issues (I use Avast Antivirus among other tools/software as needed) and I've had this phone for almost 2 years now. In the past, whenever I installed a major update, it will eventually create problems that were not there before the update so I'm really hesitant to install SP2. ONLY that I even consider it is because I have problems with Windows Movie Maker and tried to install Windows Live Movie Maker, but it won't let me do that without having installed SP2. To install SP2, I have install all the boring updates I have never installed SP1. so, all this makes me wonder if it's the same penalty to install SP2 in the first place? I can use other video editing software, if necessary, but if someone can tell me what SP2 has or does that SP1 is not, and all the benefits of the installation, I would be better able to make a decision. Any advice? Info?

    Thank you!

    If your happy with SP1 and your AV software with the new version of each exercise supports still SP1 then follow it. Just be aware that Microsoft (and I'm not a Microsoft employee) will give you no support after the data that I posted.

  • Problem installing SP2 - 0xc0190036 error code

    I know this question has been posted before, but not for a while, hoping so it could be a new reflexion autour?

    I DO NOT have a Vista dvd/cd so please do not suggest I reinstall.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook 32-bit

    AMD Athlon X 2 Dual-Core QL-65 2.10 GHz

    2.00 GB OF RAM

    I have 1 installed SP.

    When I try to install SP2, it hangs at a black screen error code! 0xc0190036! 2319/67734 (sceregvl/inf)

    I have to shut down and restart using the repair of the system.

    Advice on Tech forums, I ran chkdsk, tried new and no change.  I did a system scan and it found corrupt files but was unable to fix.  I denied access when I tried to see the log files. (although as an administrator)

    I suspect that damaged files can cause another error I have:

    Windows Media Center Store Update Manager kept coming with an error message saying that it had stopped working. (don't want it to run in any case, never use, so have turned off)

    My computer still works ok without the installation of SP2, with one MAJOR exception: I record now is no longer Word documents (no responses to 'save' or ' save under ' orders - no drop-down list, nothing.) I need to fix this!

    I just give up and hand the thing to someone to reinstall Vista? Can I go directly to Windows 7 instead?

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    I tried all of the procedures contained in the web site; including the preparation and the hotfix Tool package.  The whole process fails when you restart where he reverts the changes.  My version of Vista is 6.o which includes SP1.

    Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support, initially planned to end on November 26, 2009, has been extended until February 26, 2010. Availability of support chat or messaging differs depending on your location.

    NOTE: Judging by the previous discussions on the Vista SP2 and 0x800f0900 (internal unexpected XML parsing error) error, you can see the effects of a hijackware infection! Good luck. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  • Error installing SP2 for Vista (error 80070026)

    Hello

    I can't install the Vista SP2 in my dell. Whenever I try, I get the error 80070026 (on the Windows Update site); same problem when I download KB948465 directly.
    I already install Windows Cleanup Tool: no improvement.

    Vista Home Premium SP1

    Hello garavato,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Have you tried to temporarily disable the real-time protection of your applications, anti-virus and anti-spyware (for example, CounterSpy, Spysweeper, Tea Timer of Spybot, AVG Anti-Spyware) and/or any third-party firewall (e.g., ZA) before installing the updates. If you disable the third-party firewall, make sure that you enable the Windows Firewall?

    I added a link to another Forum Microsoft where to get the same error using Windows Update code.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!
