Vista SP1 installation aborts

Hello,
i am using Bootcamp and installed Vista on it. After having BSODs, I installed the nVidia beta mobile driver. That fixed the bluescreens. Afterwards, I tried to install SP1 for Vista, but that seems to be not possible.
The installbar in Vista reaches the end and tells me to reboot. When I hit "reboot" he tries to install it in 3 steps. The first step counts up to 98% and stays there for 5 minutes. Then it says, "Installation not possible. Undoing the changes made to Vista, after reboot I try again."
He reboots, reaches again 98% and fails again. Then SP1 undoes all changes and fails to install.
Any ideas what to do? I searched the internet for a bit, but there seem to be enough people who have the late MBP with vista sp1 on it, and no people having my problem.
Regards,
haizhung

OS X should be fine.
There have been issues with Apple Boot Camp and foreign languages and an issue in the registry - which is outside of what I've dealt with, but others have.
I have to use Google when I run into unknown errors or check Vista newsgroups and forums.

Have you got restore points manually set and automatic? helpful.
Tried booting from Vista DVD and System Repair?
Business has file and system backup/restore.
I had to learn as I go and reinstall Vista numerous times since its pre-release as I made mistakes and waiting for better support. And it did get better each time but is time consuming.

  • Vista SP1 took out my system

    Just over 3 weeks ago (I have been trying to get a solution ever since) I awoke to my new Lenovo 9868 A12, rebooting itself. and rebootin and rebooting...and so on and on. It received the Vista SP1 from Microsoft at 3AM, downloaded it and installed it but there was a major GLITCH.  seems the 3rd part of the download was trying to install but needed to reboot and that is where things went south. I tried to use the Lenova ThinkVantage to repair. It didn't work. So I looked all over this site for a patch or someone else with this problem.  No go. So I wrote Microsoft Support Team and after bout 10 days they sent me an apology and said one of their Techs would contact me real soon. Yesterday I got Ray, who again apologized for the long delay. He confirmed my problem "after the Windows Vista SP1  installation failure, the system kept rebooting. In addition, the recovery disk cannot repair the system." He expressed how disappointed I must be.. and that he would do all he could to help me. he asked me to do A system restore. I tried but the system restore was only available for that Windows update SP1. I rebooted in WinRE, I thought.Then he went on to install the Windows Vista DVD. I have a pre-installed OS. It was supposed to be in the recovery disks, I thought. Once this failed I got to a point where I could erase all that had been done and it was supposed to put it back to factory default. Well the system does'nt keep rebooting anymore and I now hav No OS. So I tried the recovery disks again. I booted with the system Rescue and Recovery Startup Disk. Things were going pretty good, until it said it did not recognize the disk in drive as the OS disk. So all those recovery disks did me no help. Now I have a Lenovo computer with no OS. I even tried to put XP on it but it fails to recognize the SATA drive. Is there help for me out there or has this become an expensive doorstop. Thankyou for any help you can give me.

    Other than you I have had no contact from the Forum..IBM in Georgia sent me recovery discs overnight to me here in BC canada..I am in the middle of recovery now and hopefully by tomorrow I will see what happens if the Vista SP1 is installed..on the Lenovo homepage I went through a very long process (but well worth it) of registering for help via Submit a request.. it was one of the links on the left side of the lenovo homepage..I received a long distance phonecall..which I did request, the very next day..that was tuesday and today I have the computer back to factory default and am just doing updates..however I started with Lenovo updates first..I will try the microsoft ones tomorrow..hope this helps you.

  • 'Windows cannot install required files' error while installing Vista SP1

    I'm installing Vista Client SP1 on my Macbook pro and getting the following error:
    Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.
    Almost exactly as described in this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930984/ except my error code is 0x80070017. I'm double-checked CRC on my dvd to ensure it's not corrupt. Also I've previously successfully installed Vista SP1 from the SAME DVD on a different Mac Leopard (desktop)
    Any ideas? This is a new Macbook pro, just got it yesterday. Could be DVD drive issue?
    Thanks!

    Did you get far enough to delete the FAT partition BootCamp created, so you could create a new NTFS one?

  • Treo Pro will not sync with Vista SP1

    I'm really hoping somebody can help me here.  I just replaced my aging 700p with the long-awaited Treo Pro (Sprint).  I've actually been looking forward to getting fully Windows-based, since my 700p syncing was routinely problematic - always having to do workarounds and plug in the cord just the right way, etc...
     Let me try to give you the flow so far.
    I have Vista SP1
    I get Treo Pro
    I plug Treo Pro into Vista, SP!, all ready to sync up my Outlook 2007 data.
    Treo Pro fires up a very impressive looking installation routine.
    Routine seemingly works fine - getting me to the point where you unplug and reconnect your device to do your first sync
    I reconnect, and hear the Windows "USB connect" sound, then.... nothing.
    I open WMDC and it says "not connected"
    I open "USB to PC" on the Treo, and uncheck the "advanced networking" box as suggested by some other posts.
    Windows sees the difference and installs a couple of other drivers.
    Windows connects, gives me the "USB connect" sound, and WMDC says "not connected"
    The Treo appears to attempt a sync, but finishes with a message "To synchronize this device, you must install ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer. "
         HUH?  ActiveSync only works with XP - of course I can't install that!
    By the way, I tried the same thing with my Vista SP1 laptop. Same exact results.
    Also, at no time have I seen the WMDC icon in the tray area. (I remember having a Nino way back when, and the ActiveSync icon was down there)
    I thought this was supposed to be easy - Windows PC, Windows device.  Piece of cake, right?  Not so.  If I cannot get this thing to connect, I'm getting a Centro! (not my first choice....)
    A thought... any chance this could have to do with having Palm Hotsync still installed (from my Treo 700p)?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Message Edited by finalewiz on 03-29-2009 09:02 PM

    On Windows XP, having HotSync installed didn't interference with using ActiveSync with a Treo 800w. This is not exactly the same as your setup, but close enough that I think HotSync is not likely to be the problem.
    How did you install WMDC? The downloadable User Guide (PDF pp44-46) refers to running the PC Setup program. Did that part go as expected?
    I don't use Vista, so I'm not familiar with the additional complications that might be involved...

  • Qosmio G30: Conflict between Sigmatel audio driver and Vista SP1

    Hello,
    I have a Qosmio G30 PQG32E notebook and can't upgrade to Vista SP1 because the Sigmatel driver (6.10.5462.0) is conflicting with the service pack.
    As some of you might know, Sigmatel no longer exists and IDT who bought them is as good as non-existent, saying to contact the OEM directly for updated drivers.
    Is there any plan to upgrade the audio driver ?
    There are huge memory leaks in my case from the audio driver.
    When using Photoshop or Premiere Pro, the audiodg.exe proccess consumes 800MB and more after one hour of continuous work.
    I am hoping for an updated more stable driver, and more stability from SP1.
    Am I a dreamer?

    Have your problems started after SP1 installation? Just for info: at the moment Toshiba does not support SP1. I really believe that you have some troubles and because of that I still wait with SP1 installation.
    You are right about Qosmio. It costs a lot of money but using delivered recovery image installation you will not have any problem. About memory and how much resources Vista needs you can read everywhere. Even if you close some application RAM will still be occupied with different information. If you start the same application again you will see that application starts second time much faster.
    It is Vista!!!
    You have really nice notebook and you should upgrade RAM to maximum level. I am pretty the notebook will runs much better and of course faster. For such notebook 2 GB for Vista is really the minimum.

  • Bootcamp Question? Should I update bootcamp before installing Vista SP1

    Hi,
    I am about to install Vista SP1 on iMac, Leopard 10.5.4.
    About a month back, there was a bootcamp update that had been posted on support download website. The question is; Do I need to install the Update before installing Vista or is that needs to be done after the installation of Vista?
    Thanks for the help,

    The update is consists only of new device drivers for Windows XP and Vista. There are different updates depending upon whether you install 32-bit XP, 32-bit Vista, or 64-bit Vista. So Windows must be installed first, the original drivers included on the Leopard DVD should be installed, then you can install the update in Windows.

  • Vista SP1 - CF Service will not start

    Running Vista Business. Life was good, I was productive! (CF 8 btw).
    After installing Vista SP1, CF service will not start. Digging a little deeper, turns out JRUN can't fire off "coldfusion", one of the servers listed. Here is the error:
    04/06 11:49:20 error Failed to create new connection

    Some digging turned up the possiblity that the jndi.properties file isn't being read. Changed permissions on it to let everyone in. Heck, you guys can probably get at it right now form where you are its so open!
    More digging, turns out Windows Firewall like to block port 2930, which is apparently used for internal communication with jndi settings or some such. Opened that up. Found evidence of further internal communication on port 900, opened that up to.
    Found this very useful and a bit scary info about missing DLLs and so forth:
    http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=6&cid=224AA
    Found reference to the updated Vista TCP/IP stack being a culprit in some cases, which often seemed to come down to, get this, a new host file entry for localhost: ::1  localhost. Commented that out, still no joy.
    Tried reinstalling. Still no go.
    Pretty much exhausted all possibilities I was able to think of or find info about.
    Any ideas or similar experiences? Or, failing that, the address of a tall building to jump off? Thanks!

    Read the manual?!?! No way, never! That would be like... stopping at a gas station to ask for directions!
    But seriously, I did poke around there a bit. I do tend to forget that there is more to there is more there than the language reference.
    Never been stuck like this though. Probably done over 100 installs dating back to CF4 on just about all windows flavors but have never had to dig in to the guts of the underlying Java like this.
    Thinking it has to be something unique to this machine; I have done other Vista installs of CF8 with only minimal issues (typically having to set the service to run under an account that has permissions, maybe even set jrun.exe and jrunsvc.exe to execute under an admin account, but thats about it). Unfortunately, partially because of the environment we operate in, a fresh workstation install is a good day and half to two day ordeal.
    Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!

  • ITunes 8.0.2 will not launch in Vista SP1

    I have a new laptop with a clean Vista SP1 install. Tried installing iTunes 8.0.2, but after I double-click on the iTunes icon to launch it, it won't start. itunes.exe is in the task manager running, but the program will not run. The first time it shows me the user agreement, I click accept, but after that, nothing.
    I did a search and found the kb article suggesting I delete the configuration files. When I went to the folder, there were no configuration files to delete. I tried a different ID, run as Administrator, and nothing. Quicktime installs and launches fine. I did a malware/virus check to be on the safe side, and that came back clean. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, that was helpful. When I restarted just Quicktime, it launched, but I did not get anything on the screen, just the blank player. That led me to believe it was an internet connection problem. And when I said "clean install", I misstated that . It was clean until I installed some of my stuff, like my work VPN and ZoneAlarm. Turning off ZoneAlarm did the trick. I also re-ran the installation exes as administrator, not sure if that helped or not. I am importing my music library now....

  • Vista SP1 & Startup Disk

    I just updated my copy of Vista to SP1, and my Windows volume no longer shows up as a possible startup volume in Startup Disk. If I boot holding the option key down, the Windows volume shows up and I can select it and boot from it. It's just a pain to have to keep holding down the option key. Anyone know a cure?

    Actually, it's not too peculiar, as Microsoft has changed the startup strategy on the latest SP1 disks and they don't work on Macs.
    Here's what I had to do to get Vista Ultimate 64-bit working on my 2006 Mac Pro. Note that I installed to a separate disk, not a partition on my OS X disk.
    - I used an older non-SP1 upgrade disk that I had from my laptop and did a FULL install, without entering the product key. Note that Vista complained about my hard drive and partition being non-compatible or somesuch nonsense - to get around it, I had to physically remove my OS X hard drive from the computer - Vista was then happy with that same hard drive/partition that it complained about previously
    - After installation, I applied the 63 available updates (not including SP1). No matter what I did, Windows update would not download SP1. The trick here is to disable all devices that are in error - i.e., the devices which are missing drivers (like bluetooth).
    - Once all the devices with errors are disabled, SP1 popped up in Windows update and I downloaded it.
    - Before installing SP1, I activated Windows using the product key from my Vista SP1 package (not the upgrade disk I used for the installation!).
    - Now, since I have a 2006 Mac Pro, neither my included Tiger installation disk nor my Leopard installation disk has the required 64-bit Boot Camp software and drivers. Fortunately, I have access to a 2008 Mac Pro installation disk, so I used it to install Boot Camp v2.0 64-bit. Doing that fixed all of the missing driver issues I had, including bluetooth and keyboard issues.
    - I then downloaded the BCUpdateVista64.exe file and installed it, which updated Boot Camp to version 2.1.
    Done! Everything is working very well.
    Good luck!

  • Vista SP1 -- Driver issues with T61

    Vista SP1 is now avaibale through automatic downloads. However, it is not available for my T61. A quick search on the net reveals that there appear to be some issues with the drivers -- finger print and Intel integrated video drivers.
    Are there any workarounds available?
    Any idea where one could download the new drivers?
    Is anyone else also experiencing these issues?

    ThinkPad T61, (7658CTO), T7500, Integrated Graphics, 320 GB HDD, 3 GB RAM, 1 GB Intel Turbo Memory, Vista (32 bit) Business

    Hello,
    I have installed the slipstreamed DVD containing Microsoft Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 from MSDN on my T61p and reinstalling the latest downloadable versions of the Lenovo-provided software without any problems, however, that was with a retail installation of Windows Vista and not the Lenovo-provided OEM version.
    It could be there is something about your T61's operating environment which prevents the service pack from being displayed on in Windows Update.  Microsoft knowledgebase article #948343, "Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows Update and is not offere..." explains the eight most likely reasons for this, along with steps on how to troubleshoot them.
    If none of those seem to apply and you are ready to proceed, here are links to the download pages for Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1:
    Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone (32-bit)
    Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone (64-bit)
    Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Release Notes
    What you might want to do is back up any valuable data, make sure you have any other files available for software you might need to reinstall in case things go badly, and then try applying the service pack.  I wrote a short note in my personal blog here about some steps to take before installing the service pack—nothing that should really surprising, though.

  • Vista SP1 and the Sigma Tel driver issue

    I've done a fair bit of reading about why Vista SP1 does not show up for some people in Windows Update and for me its almost certainly down to the Sigma Tel audio drivers on my MacBook Pro (Feb 2006).
    N.B. I have installed the latest BootCamp 2.1 32bit update and this did not change anything. Also I should mention this is a clean Vista install and I have not used a pre release version of SP1 either.
    Apparently Sigma Tel sold off their audio division and is therefore no longer updating the software drivers. Microsoft have said they plan to address this driver incompatibility with their own update at some point. This was the response another user received from MS tech support:
    "Kindly wait for further updates from microsoft which addresses the sigma audio driver compatibilty issues with service pack1."
    OK, so they understand and are looking into it, but it also seems like it would be down to the new SigmaTel owners to solve - IDT posted this statement, which suggest they think there is no need to update their drivers:
    http://www.idt.com/?app=knowledgebase&contentID=4836&parentID=4836&parentPath=12 10-3638-3639-4836
    I have tried 'Resolution B' from that link, but after removing the Sigma Tel audio driver, Vista SP1 still did not show up in Windows Update and I don't want to force install (via the download link) if Vista is not happy with my setup.
    Does anyone have the definitive answer to this situation? It looks like I just need to wait a little longer, but I just wanted to check I've not missed something important.
    Thanks

    Hi Mark
    Firstly, at the risk of being patronising, use winclone to image your BC partition. It works brilliantly.
    Secondly, I have a late 2006 MBP (2.33GHz) with Vista on BC and running Fusion. MS Update did not offer the SP1 upgrade so I used the standalone installer. The sound works perfectly but I have found that there is a nasty bug in the video driver (X1600), which causes an immediate reboot if you try to adjust the screen brightness. It works fine so long as you don't touch the F1 and F2 keys. I used the BC systray app to asign the F keys to MS software rather than Mac hardware to avoid inadvertently tripping this fault.
    If you don't mind this nasty little funny lurking on your system then SP1 is worth installing. For example Safari on Vista opens much quicker than on OS X 10.5.2
    Vista SP1 works perfectly in Fusion.

  • Cant install Vista SP1 on a 300 N200

    Hallo
    I have tried every thing. Search the net. Got support from MS, but still. Cant install SP1 for Vista.
    The installation goes fine, until the last step. On Step 3/3 it say 100% complete. But after a while it say, installation failed and that the system is restored.
    I have tried installing the SP1 after a Vista clean boot with all not neede services turned off. No luck
    I have upgrade every driver and BIOS with the latest from the Lenovo website.
    Any idea how to get it installed?

    Hi!
    Could you tell us whether it's a clean install of Vista or are you running a Lenovo pre-load? Also, are all your drivers updated? From my research there are two major culprits that can prevent an upgrade to Vista SP1 (either stand-alone or via Windows Update):
    1) fingerprint reader driver
    2) X3100 Intel graphics driver
    However, the error you mention is known to Microsoft but they offer little in terms of a solution for this issue. Here's their explanation:

  • Error 1935 - unable to install Reader 8.1.2 on Vista SP1

    I know that others have posted on this issue, but neither of the suggested fixes have worked for me. The 'fsutil' command prompt had no effect, and Ghaurav's suggestion of defeating the uninstall by copying all the files from the directory and replacing them resulted in an 'invalid plugin' error every time I tried to start Reader.
    Is anyone from Adobe monitoring this forum? Any others out there having this problem, or have a fix?

    OK, the final chapter. Microsoft tech support had me run a system file checker utility. The command line is 'sfc /scannow'. The utility reported that I had corrupt system files, but I still have no idea how that happened. I was unable to roll back the installation of Vista SP1, so I ended up reinstalling Vista (and every other program I have) from scratch. It took a full day of installing, upgrading restoring my backed up files, but I ended up with a clean version of Vista SP1, and the adobe problem is gone.
    Does this story have a happy ending? No. I decided to run SFC on my laptops. I have corrupt system files on my office laptop, and it's interfering with installing XP SP3. No other symptoms, so I'll ignore XP SP3 for as long as I can.

    Seems setup has some java issues. Well, worked fine for me and everything is working fine here, so if the url dont open, try this to install:
    thanks goes to modnarus.
    PROBLEM FIXED .
    I got the Flash CS4 upgrade to work. If anyone else experiences the same problem when upgrading from Flash CS3 to CS4 heres what I did to correct.
    PROBLEM :
    You download the install files and click setup. The setup either hangs on the initializing setup screen, OR you see the setup screen briefly and it disappears.
    SOLUTION :
    (1) Attempt to install Flash CS4 upgrade normally (clicking setup.exe). You probably already did thisso you can actually skip
    (2) Go to control panel, add/remove programs and you should see Flash Professional CS4 in the program list. Leave the control panel up, you will need this later
    (3) Navigate to the following folder on your hard drive: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\a68eec966ce913ddaa63251dc82ed31\resources\common\scripts
    (4) Locate a file called ContainerProxy.js open it with a text editor (E.G.: Notepad).
    (5) Go to line 1102 or simply search for: jsonObj = _jsonToObject(window.external.SetSessionInitialized(initValue)); and replace this line with: jsonObj = _jsonToObject(SetSessionInitialized(initValue));
    (6) Save the file by pressing [Strg]+S or use the menu: Menu -> File Save.
    (7) Go back to the Control Panel
    (8.) Highlight software being installed (Flash CS4 )
    (9) Reinitialize the installation by clicking on the change/remove button.
    (10) Setup should now work as normal.
