• 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!

• Problems to install Vista SP2, error 0x80070bc9

  Hi Mick Murphy, I can't install SP2, although it should have been downloaded automatically until I'm having some strange problems with my Vista so I'm trying to verify that this update is installed correctly.  As it has been dated to 2009, I do not remember exactly but think I had a problem and claimed a record that never came.

  Anyway your connection link see that as a mistake!

  I tried a reboot before reinstalling clean but KB948465 gets up to now and shows then I think a mess of Ox80070bc9 error (sorry, but I'm starting to get confused by all of this.)  I then read to use the KB947821 Hotfix but who wants to install both versions at the same time;  Thus abandoned that.

  Help!

  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.

• Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

  My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
  Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

  Hello GoogleGuru,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
  Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
  Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

  If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

  Post back with the results.

  Thank you

• Installation of Vista sp2 (error 80073712) failure

  original title: Vista sp2 install failure

  I tried to install Vista sp2 and get error 80073712.I tried all the solutions on the microsoft support site. The only item I picked up is when I do a sfc/scannow, it reports that it found errors, but that he was not able to fix all. I suspect that this may be the cause of sp2 does not install. I don't know how to proceed. Any suggestions most welcome. Thanks John

  Method 4: perform an upgrade on the spot.

  Do a repair install, you'll need your product key and the Windows Vista DVD. You can also create a backup just to be sure.

  Insert the DVD in your drive, the installer must come, click on install, then choose to upgrade and NOT personalized, follow the prompts. You must reinstall updates after doing this.

• 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

  Thank you for your support

• 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?

  Greetings,

  I am trying to install the SP2 update. For a long time, I had not to install updates, many of them still kep default without obvious reason. However, I ran Vista update readiness tool and has been able to install updates at least 23 were stuck because of the fault of those previously and the latest update is Windows Update says I need Service Pack 2 (SP2). I downloaded the standalone form my version of Vista Home Premium x 86 version and tried to install it and it will appear as follows:
