Vista SP2 will not install. SP1 cannot be uninstalled

I'm using 32 bit Vista Home Premium SP1 installed. However, when I try to install SP2, I said that I must have SP1 installed, what I do already. I tried to uninstall SP1 and reinstall, but I was not able to uninstall SP1. If I try to reinstall SP1, I told myself that it is already installed.

If this request has already been addressed, I apologize for the duplication. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

  • Windows Update does not recognize that Windows Vista SP2 is NOT installed.

    I have Windows Vista x 64 with SP1 and I defined updates on automatic.  However, it does recognize that the SP2 is not installed...  I'm afraid to try to install it manually after reading all the trouble with SP2 on this site.  Could you please tell me why the updates fails to recognize the SP2 is not installed and I have to do to solve it?  I'm not a master IT person, I just want my computer to be as up-to-date as possible.

    Thanks for the advice and any help I can get.

    Hi Alamogordo,

    Welcome to Microsoft Windows forums!

    Automatic updates would have tried to install sp2 and the installation was corrupt and failed.  So it will not try to reinstall. We have to uninstall sp2 to view update history and try to download and install manually.

    1. click on Start to type windows update in the start search box and click on enter

    2. click on view history of update and uninstall sp2 (kb948465)

    3. use the below given link to download sp2 (download to your desktop)

    4 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=891ab806-2431-4d00-afa3-99ff6f22448d & displaylang = in & displaylang = in

    Follow these methods before installing sp2

    Method 1

    Try to put your computer in clean boot mode and check if the problem persists. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. This article describes how to solve problems in Windows Vista or Windows 7 by performing a clean boot.

    Steps to put your computer in a clean boot:

    1. click on Start
    2. type msconfig in the Search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

    1. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
    2. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.
    3. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.
    4. click on OK.
    5. When you are prompted, click restart.

    Method 2

    Run the system update tool

    System resources, such as file of data, even in the data memory and registry data, can develop inconsistencies during the lifecycle of the operating system. These contradictions may be caused by various hardware failures or can be caused by software problems. In some cases, these inconsistencies can affect the Windows Service store, and they can cause software updates not do not work. The system update tool attempts to resolve these inconsistencies.

    1. open the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 scroll through Microsoft Download Center where several links under this section.

    2. first link is for 32-bit operating system and the second is 64-bit.

    3. click on the appropriate link, then run it on your computer.

    4. Once completed, try to install sp2 through automatic updates

    5. in the case of a failure to install manually

    NOTE: TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER TO A NORMAL STARTUP AFTER TRYING THE STEPS ABOVE.

    Click Start, in the search box to start, type msconfig and press ENTER.
    Select Normal startup, and then press apply and OK

  • Vista SP2 has not installed recovery changes. Error e000023f.__Please help computer is running fine now.

    Hi, I tried to install SP2 for Vista pack recently without success. Basically, I'll install and my computer stops then starts up and when installing it will cancel and say changes in recovery does not summers.

    When my computer load back to the top of the screen and the icons have become much bigger and my computer seems to be missing a lot of pilots.

    I tried to disable all the startup items.

    I tried to uninstall my Norton 360 program.

    Stand-alone setup I tried and it also does the same thing.

    Ran sfc/scannow, and it has detected an error and fixed it but no difference.

    I tried to run the system preparation tool, but loading upward it checks updates and asks me to install an update first. When you try to install the update, it happens at the same point every time and just hangs. If I wait long enough he will say: impossible to install and it is that I get.

    When I check history the next error code update to SP2 install is e000023f. I tried to check whether that SP2 was installed in part. When I go in the installed updates it have SP2 listed, but when I right click on it gives me no option to delete so I guess it was not installed. By going to computer/properties also confirmed that it is still SP1.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated that I like this update because my computer doesn't seem to be good at all currently underway. It takes more than an hour now to intall minor updates.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    Mark

    If N360 is no longer installed (and before you reinstall it):

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    IMPORTANT! Should not connect your computer to the internet or any network without a fully functional anti-virus application & completely updated installed and an active firewall!

    Your misguided (IMHO) use of System Mechanic may have caused your problems. If you think your registry needs to "clean up" or "repaired" and need more convincing that it doe NOT, read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.
