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!

    In a default installation of Windows, SystemRoot is the Windows directory.

    Method 2: -.

    If method 1 does not resolve this problem, you can perform a repair of the operating system installation to restore the current installation of Windows to the version of the installation DVD. It also requires the installation of all the updates that are not included on the installation DVD.

    Note Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer.

    To perform a repair installation of Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, follow these steps:

    1. Close all running applications.
    2. Insert the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.
    3. In the settings window, click install now.

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

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

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

      2. In the list of programs , click Setup.exe.
      3. In the settings window, click install now.
    4. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
    5. Type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.
    6. Select OS " " Install Windows "page to which you want to " Upgrade or Inplace. [Enter text here]
    7. Click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
    8. On the what type of installation do you want? of the screen, click upgrade.
    9. When the installation is complete, restart your computer and try again to install updates.

    I am running Vista Home Premium (32-bit version) and I need to upgrade Adobe create Suite 3 (CS3) to CS4. The problem comes from the fact that CS4 requires Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) and I'm unable to install SP1.

So, I would be very grateful if there is someone out there who could offer some advice to help me correct my current system with SP1, allowing installation both need the software Adobe CS4.

  • 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!
