Trouble installing Windows XP SP3 and other MS updates
I am having trouble installing Windows XP SP3 and other MS updates. I have
read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950717/ and tried many options through
out the document and links with no success. I have Norton Internet security
that I disabled and stopped programs that run during startup like AOL IM… It
looks like it gets through the upgrade and fails at the end.
Re: Trouble installing Windows XP SP3
Thanks Shenan for the link to asking questions the smart way. Well
received, let me try it again.
The problem is when install installing Windows XP SP3 the install fails,
rolls back and gives a message that Windows XP was partially updated and may
not work properly. The process seems to get almost to the end before failing.
What I am running:
Dell Dimension DXP061
MS Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 SP2
Intel Processor
What I have done:
Read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950717/ Steps to take before you
install Windows XP Service Pack 3 and reviewed perform what was written as
follows:
1. Complied requirements up to the Troubleshooting Windows XP SP3
installation section
2. In the Troubleshooting section skipped Not enough hard disk space, Access
Denied, Insufficient permissions sections. I reviewed
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949385/,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377/,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951244/, never got any error message dialogs
or any written messages in the svcpack.log file access related or space
related or what was written in these three articles.
3. Reviewed the section Errors that are related to the Cryptographic
service, got through methods 1-5 of article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798/, working on method 6.
4. This is when I can to this forum for help.
Errors in the svcpack.log that look important include:

correct. (17 of these lines)
2. Failed to open c:\windows\$hf_mig$\KB904706\update\updatebr.inf (17 of

5. ExConditionalRunInfProcesses: Error 0x1 while running processes in
section 'ToGac.RunProcess.ProcessesToRun.'

Re: Trouble installing Windows XP SP3 the svcpack.log file
Did you reinstall WinXP just before you installed SP3 and/or did you attempt
to install SP3 manually or did you install it via Windows Update?

Re: Trouble installing Windows XP SP3 and other MS updates
I had the same problem
As per:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\Microsoft.Vsa.Vb.CodeDOMProcessor.dll
775.890: Return Code = 1
775.890: ExConditionalRunInfProcesses: Error 0x1 while running processes in
section 'ToGac.RunProcess.ProcessesToRun.'
775.890: DoInstallation: ExConditionalRunInfProcess failed while durring
EXECUTE_AFTERINSTALL.
I deleted all Microsoft.Net Framework installs from Add/Remove programs then
ran XP SP3 which completed, then reinstalled the latest Microsoft.Net
Framework
I didn't figure this out on my own. You can check the following link for the
whole story
Re: Trouble installing Windows XP SP3 and other MS updates
Sorry, the problem is NOT the same one that your system was
experiencing. The svcpack.log file in the post is showing that the
CatRoot2 subfolder has corrupted data. To confirm that this is the issue
run the SignatureVerification Tool which will create a log file in the
WINDOWS directory.
Click Start, click Run, type sigverif.exe, and then click OK.
Click Advanced.
Click 'Notify me if any system files are not signed'
On the Logging tab, make sure the Save the file signature verification
results to a log file check box is selected
Give a LogName like C:\Windows\SigVerif.txt and click OK
Click Start.
IF SigVerif.txt shows that system (Windows) binaries are Unsigned, then
1) Log in as an Administrator or with a User Account that has Admin
privileges
2) Start a Command Prompt (Start > Run > type in cmd, click OK)
3) At the command prompt type the following messages
3.a) net stop cryptsvc
3.b) ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
3.c) net start cryptsvc
3.d) exit
4) Now go into the subfolder {F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}
%Systemroot%\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}
5) Delete all tmp*.cat files from the folder. (If no files that start
with tmp exist in this folder, *** do not remove any other files***.
The .cat files in this subfolder are necessary for installing hotfixes
and service packs.)
An XP SP3 system that has no Unsigned binaries in the SigVerif.txt will
show this at the beginning of the log -
