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

Microsoft article on this says it's on the 3rd party software partition. Is not on this computer because it is only purchased about 10 days ago. Please help because the 12 I return the computer at office depot as defective if the problem cannot be resolved.
It was a Microsoft update that bludgened it. I found an article where an update prevented the installation of sp2. Uninstalled the day then sp2 update.
This is another problem with Vista. Sorry about its sick I had tried to install it for days. I had been skeptical about to a HP system because I'm used to buidling to my own specifications.

Office 2007 SP2 on Windows 7 will not install
Recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. After that, a lot of problems to do Office 2003 and 2007 to play nice. Finish by uninstalling and reinstalling both. Now, applications seem to be happy, except for Word 2003 AND 2007, eager to relocate whenever they are launched. The biggest problem now is that the Office SP2 will not install. Tried registry cleaning, download .exe standalone and as an administrator and also using the tool PatchRegCleanup - x 86 .exe (which gives me a message "productcode must be determined" and makes me want to go out). Yes, Office 2007 disk is inserted. All other updates installed correctly. Any help appreciated.
