Service Pack 2 is not available

After reformatting the hard drive with xp, trying to load service packs, but sp2 does not seem to be available.  All the info at Microsoft, explains sp2 must be loaded before sp3 can be loaded. is this true? I can not find anywhere sp2.

From: Learn how to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3)

"In order to install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed. These are also available when you have automatic updates on. For more information on these commands and other service packs of Windows, go to the Center of Service Pack. "

Service Pack Center has links to SP2 for network facilities (the full, stand-alone, SP2) and a link to the stub for SP1a (the rest of the SP1a will be downloaded from Microsoft).

  • Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation

  • Vista Service Pack 1 is NOT installed

    So, I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7. Unfortunately my installer for 7 told me that I had to first install Service Pack 1. Large. I know I don't have because it does not appear on my list of Windows Edition. I try to get it from Windows Update, but when I search for updates, it shoots only other stuff (e.g. Office Genuine Advantage Notification KB949810), but the service pack does. I checked my update history and apparently this Service Pack 1 could not install and I received the error code 80080008.

    So I download the thing directly from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=139503, and when it finished downloading it disappears. Then I saved it on my desktop and when I click on it nothing happens. Can someone help me?

    Slurgly wrote: This would have to do with a question I had on several occasions with the installation of .NET framework 1.1 Service pack and the .NET framework through update 3.5 service pack?

    Yes, it's a possibility. These updates of .NET Framework are among a myriad of SP1 updates, like, for example, KB955430 & KB947821.

    But I'm more concerned about one or two other things:

    1. the error 80080008 is very rarely seen and suggests that an infection in progress hijackware is at the origin of the problem.

    2 Vista SP1 is available through Windows Update (for most users) since March 18, 2008 (SP2 since March 2009). It is very unusual that SP1 has not yet install on your computer again.

    How long Avast4 has been installed? What antivirus application was installed before you installed Avast and your subscription always news when you have uninstalled it in preparation for the installation of Avast?

    A Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    The foregoing, your best bet at this point may be to back up your personal data, format the HARD drive and do a clean install of Vista to get it then patched up to SP1 before you perform the upgrade to Win7.

    I doubted much that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) would solve the problem. Speaking of which, have you ever done a repair for some reason installation any?

    PS: Free support for installation of SP1 problems has been available since March 18, 2008 through June 30, 2009. This support would cost you $59 USD per incident (or more) now.

    This is a known bug 'Dumb MS' and very simple to fix. It is simply that the installer wants to put a bit of a music (the standard windows sound) file in a particular place, and the directory does not exist on some copies of OEM Windows XP home.

    You just need to create the folder he wants before rerunning the SP3 update. Not at the moment, I can't find a link to the exact thing, but if these directories do not exist, create them. You must be logged on as administrator user to do this.

    The file beethoven.wma wants to be in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Shared Music".
    OR maybe "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample sounds\" on XP-Home Edition

    However, the "All Users" directory down may be missing or not have NO defined permissions.
    To fix it, right-click on "All Users" and click the option 'security '.

  • Service Pack 2 could not install, windows can not access the service install and slow computer

    Please help, I'm using Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I'm not very technical, and I think that my problems began some time ago when Vista Service Pack 2 Installation causing boot failure has failed and that I could not connect. I tried a fix by using the Startup Repair and was able to connect again, but now all my Vista updates since then do not install and now my computer is running extremely slow, constantly trolling.  I also have problems "windows service install could not have access. I have tried to reinstall Windows Installer 4.5 but says "update does not apply to my system. I also tried to unregister and re-register Windows install that does not work.

Also I can not install programs because of the installer, the service to publish a work around if needed. Thank you

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install SP2?
