Unable to install Windows Vista SP1 Gina Megay 11/9/2008 1:37:00 PM I have been consistently unable to install Vista SP1. It goes through all three phases and then simply fails, and reverts back. I am running Vista home premium 32 bit. Initially got an error that led me to run repair.bat and try the reinstall again last night, but no luck. Other updates have installed successfully before and after SP1. ????

It certainly sounds like you got a bad download. Download again, preferably on a machine which has access to a high bandwidth connection (> 1.5Mbps.) -- Donald L McDaniel Please reply to the original thread and article. ====================================

Re: Unable to install Windows Vista SP1 "Curious" <mailmenot[ at ]nomail.com> 11/9/2008 8:10:52 PM Possible there is not space available for the temporary files required when upgrading to SP1. How much available disk space do you have in the partition that Vista is in? Do you also have another partition available with available space?

Download the full file then right click it and choose Run as administrator. Before running the downloaded file right click on it, pick Properties, and make sure it is not blocked.

Re: Unable to install Windows Vista SP1 "Chad Harris" <CH[ at ]windows7.meshnet> 11/9/2008 11:46:25 PM Hey Gina-- Make sure you have enough space as was said by hitting the windows key on the lower left of keyboard + R and in runbox type diskmgmt.msc--make sure you have enough GB on whatever drive you're using. Then download the WICU here and start it and if (and I don't know that it will be ) Vista's SP1 is one of the entries listed, then delete it. That cleans up junk in the way of installs from an aborted install sometimes or corrupt files in the install path and registry orphans that could contribute to an incomplete install. Download for WICU at bottom of KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 Good luck, CH "Gina Megay" <GinaMegay[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B152B6F3-F047-4C44-B9F4-B3B64EF54A5A[ at ]microsoft.com...
