• Windows install Service Pack 3

  A long time ago when I received the automatic update to Service Pack 3 and tried to install it, the update failed (Error 1706: file PRORET.) MSI not found).  I do not have the disk that he wanted me to insert to find the file and my attempts to find help on the web has as well.  Since then, when I open Excel, Windows Installer gets up and tries to install Service Pack 3.  If I wait until it I fail can then try again and succeed to open my spreadsheets but I have to wait for the Setup program to do its thing.  Is there anyway to prevent that from happening in the first place?  Dare just uninstall Windows Installer?

  Right click on desktop & select Properties: Windows version which is displayed on the general tab that results (for example, Windows Professional Service Pack 2)?

  See this discussion archived on PRORET. MSI and Office XP SP3, positions especially by Mr Laurent Genty: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.officeupdate/browse_frm/thread/599b499f5f4dba34

• Side effects of installing windows xp service pack 3 upgrade on windows xp media center edition version 2002 service pack 2

• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 causes the message "Windows install will not be accessible".

  I am running Windows Vista with all the updates installed but Service Pack 2. I uninstalled Service Pack 2 because it was causing problems with the windows installation service. I was unable to install microsoft office update because the windows installer could not be accessed, and Adobe Acrobat Reader could not be repaired or updated for the same reason.

  With installed Service Pack 2, I traveled all troubleshooting for the windows service install. I have a click with the right button on my computer, manage, service and open the properties of windows install. I have activated the service, but still couldn't install the updates Microsoft office or Adobe Acrobat Reader update/repair. I also tried to configure windows install automatic rather than manual when the computer starts.

  I had the problem "Windows install is not be available" for nearly a year. After trying to do a repair Vista boot without result, I uninstalled all updates. The problem disappeared. I decided to install the updates one by one. After you have installed Service Pack 2, the problem with windows install returned. The Service Pack installs completely and then open my computer properties indicates that Vista runs with Service Pack 2 installed.

  Uninstall Service Pack 2 and blocking automatic updates will not install it was my only solution to the issue of "Windows install is not be accessible". I fear that it may cause a security flaw in my computer, however.

  If someone has encountered this problem, and if so, is there a solution to install Service Pack 2 for my windows service install still works correctly?

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves. Composition of such problems, Geek Squad is also infamous for having failed to download/run the Norton removal tool before installing another AV app or security suite! The 'leftovers' Norton may have caused your post-SP2 installation problem.

  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.

  4. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  5. restart & test (i.e. display SP2 & install it again). [2]

  TIP: Temporarily disable Sunbelt Vipre Antivirus before installing SP2. If you still encounter problems after installing SP2 again, open a free support by my previous response incident.

  Hi miss.purity,

  Welcome to Microsoft answers community forum!
   
  All facilities have their own advantages and disadvantages. We at Microsoft is constantly working to improve, acceleration and provide better services to our users use microsoft products and therefore release of service packs. Service packs are released to solve the problems of the operating system such as the provision of software to hardware compatibility with other products launched on the market (not necessarily Microsoft products), Microsoft publishes fixes for minor problems experienced by users of Microsoft operating system and constantly keep abreast with the latest technology. So I recommend you keep your operating system up to date to benefit from the advantages mentioned above and for the proper functioning of the operating system.
   
  It can cause minor problems during the installation of updates (honestly what OS doesn't?). But its better to deal with minor problems (which can be fixed) after the installation of updates, as the face of the problems otherwise.
   
  So I got advice go you and install the updates sent by Microsoft as it also fixes bugs you mentioned.
   
  If in case you encounter problems installing service pack 2, you can do the following:

  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed correctly, and then on reboot I get a blue error screen or green.

  The only way that I could finally restart, was safe and then I restored to before I installed SP2.

  WinXP SP2 must have been installed more than four years ago.

  If you haven't installed SP2, you could not possibly have a functional application of the antivirus installed so see...

  SP3 was released two years ago: how is it that you get only to install it now?

  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 SP3?

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