sp1 setup canceled...

[michelle]

I've tried numerous times to try to install SP1. It
downloads alright, begins to install, I agree to the
terms, i tell it to archive and then I get a nice box
telling me that SERVICE PACK 1 SETUP CANCELED. I have
already tried to run regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll and the
other regsvr32.exe licdll.dll and both have succeeded but
upon trying to reinstall SP1, I get the same setup
canceled message. SVCPACK log gives the following error
message InstallFromFunction call in inf
section "BuildType.DirId" failed. Any answers as to how
I get around this and successfully install SP1??

Reformat your drive and install the "released version" of
Windows XP. Apparently, you are using an old, obsolete
beta version which is unsupported.

Go to Run > Start and type: WINVER , and hit enter.

If "Version 5.1 (Build 2600) is not shown, you are running an
obsolete beta version of XP for which there is no update support. If
that's the case, you need to reformat your drive and install
the released version of XP, after purchasing it.
