Unable to install SP1

They had to differentiate from the Itanium chips which were under development at the time as Intel's AMD-buster chips (and have only really ever been used in Servers, since day one).
In various places in the OS, the variants are referred to in different ways as well - e.g. x86 can be called INTEL

Thanks for the info, but both Intel and AMD make x86 and x64 chips, so why name one x86... and the other amd64...?

...because the AMD64 chip is x86-compatible, while Itanium is pure x64

Ah - that should be OK then :)
They are however not ISO files but executables (apart from the 1.9GB multi-purpose one)- you'll need to copy the file to the hard drive and run it from there.

with the 1.9GB one there is a little extra front-end code to allow use from DVD.


I downloaded the ISO one (1.9G) and then burned it to my DVD. Then from my DVD I selected setup from the DVD , and I "guess" it picked the correct one. Are you saying that I need to copy the correct file to my HD and install from there, and not from my DVD?

There is no data prior to yesterday in what you sent? the older CBS persist files aren't present, and the system has just archive yesterday's into the only persist file present.
Please attempt another install, and then upload a new copy of the CBS folder.

as requested, tried to install. failed with same error as above. Attached is the CBS log run just after that attempt. Also attached are 2 Regedit files, that were used to do the WinMail hack. They are from this site, but I believe they are different than what is here now, and if they may be causing the issue. Just FYI.

Can I assume that there is no solution to this short of a repair install, as I haven't heard anything differently?

That looks normal, although your hive file looks a little stale (have you rebooted since 4/2 at 12:12 AM ??)
Please open an Elevated Command Prompt

run the following commands

REG LOAD HKLM\TEST C:\Windows\System32\config\components
REG UNLOAD HKLM\TEST

You should get success message from both commands

The computer was turned on today 4/3 at ~ 1:00 PM USA eastern time. It was not in sleep mode, but totaly turned off. It was probably turned off last night about the time you show.

Both commands run and as you said, they both said completed successfuly

OK - that was probably a red herring then :(
I can't see the registry edits causing the problem - I know of people who've simply installed SP1 and then re-applied the edits.

I've seen that type of error before, and been unsuccessful in fixing it :(
Since the update involved is a recent update (KB2790113) it may be worth attempting to uninstall it manually.

Search for it in the list of installed updates, and try uninstalling it.
If it does uninstall, reboot, and then attempt installing SP1 again.

not actually a shock, but it failed to install sp1. Ran sfc /scannow first, rebooted, and then tried install from the direct download from MS.
