Well, having issues with this one laptop. A friend of mine was trying to run windows updates, and it started getting Service Pack 1 and Dotnet framework 3.5, About 10% into the install it error's and gives error code - . After this the system reports the SP1 is installed, but when we check add/remove programs and check latest updates, it doesn't show Service Pack 1 was ever installed. We tried restoring the system back to an earlier date, but every time we try it just fails. We've tried both restore points that were only a couple days old, to as far back as a couple weeks.
We then went searching to find out how to uninstall Vista SP1. We came across http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948537. Method 1 we had looked into before and it didn't work. Method 2 is the system restore, which again didn't work. We also tried going the cmd prompt route, but when we try to delete the file, it says its not found. I checked the root C:\ folder, and the temp folder isn't even there.
Anyway's if anyone else has any idea's that'd be great.
Anyways, just so you know the OS
Windows Vista Home Premium x86 - Acer Laptop
We don't have a Vista boot disc either.
Thanks ahead of time
