V-Lite users - note this...

When you try to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2), you (may) receive the following error message:

Service Pack installation cannot continue
One or more system components that the service pack requires are missing.

This problem occurs because system components that are required to install Windows Vista SP2 are not present on your computer.

However, a common reason for this problem is that the vLite software was used to customize the Windows Vista installation and some required system components were removed.

More info & fix???...Error message when you try to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2: "One or more system components that the service pack requires are missing"

Just for info...

Well, I just tried to install it and got this...

SP2 Stop Error.JPG

I used V-Lite to slipstream SP1 and the only components removed were the language packs. Now SP2 is refusing to install :(

What sucks is I just reinstalled Vista like 5 days ago.

So has anyone found a way around this...other than an OS reinstall per the instructions mentioned previously in my earlier post...basically a non-V-Lite OS reinstall.

Thanks slimy,
Everything is fine except for vistaglazz1.1 and I have to wait for the version which is compatible with SP2. I am not bitter.

Yep.

The upgrade didn't work for me, but not for the reason above. After going through most of the install process, it started trying to boot (I think). It was listing a running total of files and hung up on 4317/44999, partial name given was ---ire-blackbox-dri---. This left me with an unbootable system. My way out was to do a complete restore of the drive partition from last night. I'm now back working with SP1, as before.

so people with sp1 already on will have problems??? i have ultimate 64bit... with sp1 intregated the black upgrade box

Thanks for posting. As always I'm a fan of downloading directly from MSFT, so if you're thinking of going the Torrent route, I'd just suggest taking the time and downloading directly from MSFT. You never know what's out there.

i think that it's better to install SP2 to fresh installation of Vista SP1 ... i think this may solve a lot of problems as it will be on a new installation of vista ...

Installed SP2 and havent noticed any difference except this:

Service Pack 1 reboot time

Service Pack 2 reboot time
View attachment 13063

After installing i defragged the page file, metadata, registry, and both partititions fully. So so far im not impressed :(

I just went to Windows Update and it told me there was one optional update and that was Windows Essentials. Why did it not mention the SP2 Service Pack for Vista.

Also I don't know that I should Download the Sp2. I am afraid of messing things up and I don't have problems yet . So maybe I should leave well enough alone.
