When I try to install SP2 I get this message "the Service pack installation cannot continue - is missing one or more components of the system which requires service pack." My computer is a Dell Studio 1737 laptop came with Vista Premium 64 bit OS. Received 3 months ago. Last week, I got a blue screen while making a rescue disk (I know, it's ironic), computer was slow, so I tried to do the system restore. System Restore does not work (I installed SP2 in fact at the moment, no problem). Looked for the solution, only thing I could find was to re - install OS repair mode (upgrade). Found some info on VLite (knew, it has not been accepted by MS). Did the repair installation with VLite, added updates and drivers, took only some of the great language files. Load and run fine, ran all updates to windows. When I tried to install SP2, I got the "Service pack installation cannot continue - one or more components of the system that requires the service pack are missing. Looking for solutions, concluded the MS 'this may be due to the installation of VLite"only resolution is to re - install with OEM disc. If that's what I did, re-installed, (repair - upgrade), once again. Load and run fine, ran all updates to windows. When I tried to install SP2 I got the "Service pack installation cannot continue - is missing one or more components of the system which requires service pack"-NEW. I have: -tried several times -uninstalled VLite (of fat) -Disabled antivirus, Norton 360 -Downloaded the standalone KB948465 - X 64 -guarantees for KB955430 and all updates were installed -Ran "reset windows update components. -Re-installed "Windows updater. -We searched MS forum and Web site for help, can't find anything on the message of"missing components". -Ran "System tool" KB947821 ================================= Preparation of control system was updated.

Windows Installer has stopped working and access is denied installation KB942288-V3 original title: Windows XP SP3 installation problem My windows installer has stopped working. I tried several 'fixed' found on the net, but nothing is done and would be grateful if someone could guide me through the solution. Windows XP, SP3. In 'Services', 'Windows Installer' has been designated 'disabled '. I changed this "manual". msiexec /unreg works ok. I have downlaoded and ran KB942288-V3 and got ' Setup error. Access is denied. " I watched the permissions in the registry and seems to have all the permissions are ok, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Thanks for any help Hello Kaiser, I would say that if you update your PC from SP2 to SP3 all your files will remain same. Once you do a new Installation or a custom don't store all your network cards and other device drivers. I use a 2005 Dell Precision 670 with OS Microsoft XP Professional x 64 Edition Version 2003, Service Pack 2. I tried to update my version of ESRI ArcGIS Desktop v9.3 to v9.2, but in the process of uninstalling v9.2 there error/corruption (although at the time, I don't remember getting the error messages). Symptoms were: program icon not slot "start > programs" or less "C; "" / Program Files "C:/Program Files (x 86) or ' but the icon still appeared in the list of installed programs in"Add or remove programs ". Suggestions to be by ESRI: -Re-registration of the service Windows Installer - Ran fine, but the error still there. -File system - fine Ran but error checker always run here. -Downloaded Windows Installer cleanup - NO error found. -Downloaded CCleaner - NO error found. -Manually deleted the program, manually remove the following program files: C:\program files\arcgis; C:\Program Files\Fichiers files\esri. C:\Documents and setting\%user name%\application data\ESRI -Manually remove ESRI records in the registry: I did it by start > run REGEDIT [press ENTER], then navigate hkey_local_mahine/software and sailed to hkey_current_user/software. -Tried to repair the program from the installation disc, but it always seems to grind to a hault about 50-75% through the configuration of the repair procedure. -Tried to uninstall the program with the vision more recent ArcGIS Desktop but I still get the ERROR 1721. I was once in contact with the package vendor (ESRI) UK support team and they sent this problem at their headquarters in the States. I'm really at a lost as to how this can be fixed, because this program is what I use for my career! Help, please! This may be a day late and a dollar short, but there is a question we've seen recently with ArcGIS facilities. There is a registry change to ArcGIS that limits the size of the regestry and NOTHING prevents installation once this limit is reached. Do the following reg key change: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\RegistrySizeLimit Update the value ffffffff Restart the computer.

None of the 27 sets of update and Installer Cleanup solutions worked, a last resort option could work but it will not install without the Windows Installer Service. I tried each FixIt option, says the problem is solved, but isn't. How can I put the installer of Windows on my computer? If there are files on the original drive that can be put into drive C what are they? These previous solutions have not helped: After a month of butting heads with the refusal of Microsoft to actually help except to sell us all a new copy of Vista or Win7 at the normal price I solved the problem myself.
It has been 2 days since the reformatting/reinstall. I reinstalled all my additional software without problem. System Mechanic is back in service without any prejudice to my installation Service. Seems that something is involved with .NET Framework 4 triggered a defense mechanism that caused the installer should be deleted, solved the problem of the .NET Framework from Microsoft, but it can be installed by the installer being removed to protect our computers. The question was not just with Dell computers, it is Dell support is just as incompetent that Microsoft support batch so more Dell owners were here to complain. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been 4 days without any problem at all. So, in my case, it's .NET Framework 4 that created and continued the problem, even if the specific audit FixIt kept saying all .NET Frameworks have been installed correctly. I try to use the Microsoft Office tool that implement an MSI for 64-bit Office 2010 installation file. The tool works file and creates the msi file. I get to the tool by going to the x 64-bit folder on the office 2010 installation disc. I install a new virtual machine from Windows 7 and tried to use the MSI file to install office 2010 and I get the error: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program" If I just click Setup on the office 2010 dvd he moved very well on the same VM window7. Does anyone have an idea how do to understand why the windows installer keep fails or what he wants? If I click on the msi even on a system with office 2007 is installed, I get the same error. Thanks for the help jbabe Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade or installation of Office 2010.
