I'm trying to install SP2 on our domain computers. I'm the desktop
administrator; I have full local/domain admin rights. Some of my computers
fail during the beginning of SP2 installation, I've tried installing from a
CD, from a folder on the local HDD, from network install exe and i've also
extracted the files and run update.exe directly, all different methods
achieve the same result, an "Internal Error" message. I am including my
svcpack.log file below in hopes that someone can point me in a direction to
resolve this, I've tried many different things with no change in results...

Also, in this svcpack.log file you can see i've used some update.exe command
line switches, but i've tried it with no swiches and get the same log
results, FYI

Click to expand...

It looks to me that the installation have some problems with obtaining
the ProductID for the computer (if this is fatal or not for the
installation I don't know).

Another log files you can check for any clues or error messages:

%windir%\setupapi.log

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)

You might need to enable verbose logging to find the reason in
one of the log files (setupapi.log and svcpack.log), see here
for how to enable it:

It was the ProductID registry key, but not the one in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version - that one was fine, it was
the one in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version. I had checked
the one in Windows, not WindowsNT. That one had been apparently mangled by
our PC/OS deployment software. I simply copied the ProductID string from the
\Windows location to the \WindowsNT location, and SP2 upgraded fine. Thanks
for your help, Torgeir!
