Re: [Vista] 0x80004005 Service Pack 2 Installation Error
I had that problem with SP1. I have not yet tried SP2.
For SP1, it turned out to be because I am running linux on a multi-boot system. The linux "/boot" partition was marked active. Apparenty the SP install can get confused if the active partition is not the one from which Vista boots. Solution: Mark the Vista partition active; install SP1; then mark the linux boot partition active (I did the latter with a linux rescue CD).
I have no idea whether your problem is similar or completely different. -- AT&T dsl; Westell 327w modem/router; openSuSE 11.0; firefox 3.0.11
