It allowed to re-install, but in doing so, it only gave me the option to blank and re-format the hard drive. I'm in the process of re-installing all the windows updates, including SP1, and hopefully it will go straight through without any problems this time.Īs a note, the Dell machine came without disks and had this recovery centre bit pre-installed on a different partition. In the end, I bit the bullet, copied all the data off the machine and re-installed from factory settings. No difference! Blooming thing still hung and wouldn't boot unless I chose the 'disable' option mentioned above.
I therefore went to the Dell site and dwonloaded and installed all the drivers for the laptop, and re-installed SP1 from standalone. There was some patch which you could run with BCDEDIT which supposedly got round it, which I ran but with little success. Looking this up on the net it appears to be some sort of mismatch between SP1 and the drivers. After a lot of messing about and hair tearing out, I clicked on 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement' at startup, and the machine fired up OK.

A Format of the partition, a clean install of Vista, followed by SP1, is one sure way of achieving a successful update when every other means fails.Įrror message when you try to install Windows Vista Service Pack 1: "Installation was not successful" or "An internal error occurred while installing the service pack" Installing Service Packs have always required a clean system to guarantee success, it is at this time that old forgotten tweaks and installed security programs come back to haunt you. Remember the basics like disabling (temporarily) security programs like Anti Virus and Defender, running as Administrator, (Elevated via right-click) if you have a setup file to click on, turning off (temporarily) UAC, disabling startup programs (temporarily) via msconfig, etc. Http: ///windows-v ista/77096 -startup-p roblems-af ter-downlo ading-sp1- vista.html Marc RE: SP1 will not install tlcscousin (TechnicalUser) 30 Mar 09 11:17
If anybody has any hints or tips of how to resolve this, or articles that you think might help. I've had a google of the 80005 message, but nothing I've come up with seems to apply. Update is not allowed to download due to regulationĪpplicability evaluation for setup package "WUClient-SelfUpdate-ActiveX~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~.788" failed, error = 0x80080005 SelfUpdate check failed, err = 0x80080005 PerUpdate regulated and cannot be downloaded I've had a look at the windows update log and there is so much in that could be an error, that I don't know where to start. This whole process of applying the update and reverting it (twice!) takes about 2 and a half hours. It does this, and the reboot does through the whole lengthy painstakingly boring process until it too gets an error on 98% and reverts. After this it does some initiation, and then asks me to reboot, which I do.īefore it shuts down it tries in install SP1 and slowly moves the % complete until it gets to 98%, whereupon it stalls for a bit, and then comes back with a message saying this it has found a problem and it is going to revert and try again on next boot.
It has successfully downloaded the update via windows update, and then it creates a restore point ok. I have a Dell laptop that is trying to install Vista SP1.
