SP3 Freez

[i2omani]

Howdy,
Anyone having issue with sp3? my customer called me and said they can't install service pack 3. So i went over to his house and i tried it my self but it will download, backup and install but when it is at the end of the installation were it say "Finishing installation" it freeze and do nothing I just replaced the mobo and cpu and hdd and did a repair installation on the same machine last week. i tried to install sp3 with the auto update and download it and install it separate and still same symptoms ...freeze at the same spot.

any suggestions please....

p.s: customer said that it did 've sp3 before mobo fried, and i did a repair installation with sp2 CD...could that be he issue?

Regards

Check eventvwr for any error messages. Is it an AMD processor by any chance?

 

[i2omani]

Its intel.
The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was 800706BD from line 62 of d:\comxp_sp3\com\com1x\src\events\tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error.

It sounds like a permissions issue.
try issuing these commands in a command window, without the ' ' and then try reinstalling sp3.
'echo y| cacls %windir%\registration /G everyone:R system:F administrators:F'

'echo y| cacls %windir%\registration\*.clb /G everyone:R system:F administrators:F'

Did you replace the CMOS battery when you replaced the mobo?

Yeah i agree its permission issue, i tried

%WINDIR%\System32\secedit.exe /configure /db
%windir%\security\Database\rootsec.sdb /cfg
%windir%\security\templates\rootsec.inf

and didn't work, so i will try yours and let you know

That still didn't fix it

Edit: and now when he try to attach a file to email from a different PC he's asked to provide a password which he never had too!

have you tried creating a new profile and try installing sp3 under the new profile?

 

[i2omani]

Stupid ...But

this is how i fixed it...
i ran ccleaner and then reboot, then i did start>allprogrames>windows update.
then when i got stuck, i went start>turn off . and i gave me the option to download updated before shutdown and i choose that option and it worked

Now we have SP3

thanks to all of your help guys, really really appreciated

Regards
