My friend has got an HP PC still at RTM level. There's something wrong with it - it just won't accept SP1 although I tried the tricks I could find on the net. There are some programs installed he doesn't want to lose so fresh install is no good. I tried a repair (upgrade) install with a Vista SP2 disc but that aborted complaining about wrong SP level. That's why I'd like to try RTM. Of course, I'm open to ideas about better tricks...
OK sent. In my experience the usual reason for Service Pack installation failure is security software - that must be completely disabled or even uninstalled.
