Failed service pack 2 installation

[Guest]

I tried to install service pack 2 and everything went fine until the portion
that says "cleaning up". It stalled for over an hour when I finally
cancelled it. How do I find out what the problem was and how to install it
properly.

Make sure your system is free of spyware, trojans and virus. If you need
a few sites to do this then check below

Hi !

1 . Make sure the computer is free from spywares and viruses.

2 . Do a Disc cleanup

3.
Step1: Download subinacl.msi from the link
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23418 and install it.


Step2: Now open notepad and paste the following exactly as it is into
the notepad


subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f


Step 3: Now go to File->Save As and save the file in 'C:\Program
Files\Windows
Resource Kits\Tools' as reset.cmd


Step 4: Open Command Prompt and go to

program files\windows resource kits\tools


Step5: Now type 'reset.cmd' and hit Enter (Without Quotes)

You will see the Command Line Tool running for about 10 mins or so.
After the
process restart the computer and try installing SP2 again.
