However, I subsequently went to to download this from microsoft and it worked; I tired to reinstall SP1 again but got the same error. If anyone could try and help I'd greatly appreciate it as I'm starting to get really frustrated. Equiether , Dec 22, Hmm tried to install the SP1 standalone version instead of the WindowsUpdate version? Not sure why but I've seen several cases when the WindowsUpdate version fails and the standalone version installs correctly..
ATG , Dec 22, I did try the standalone version and got the error I mentioned. Still can't install SP1. Is SP1 even neccessary? Don't do any of the other updates before installing SP1 - SP1 rolls up all of the updates that came before SP1 was released, so there's no point to doing that. If not, I would suggest doing so, as that power down might have messed something up that's now getting in the way of installing SP1.
Shyster1 , Dec 22, What do you mean reinstall SP0? Isn't that the default Vista installs from the disk? All Event Viewer says at all for the period is: "An update was downloaded. It doesn't mention anything about happens next, i. Which cannot be the problem. I use it to access the web so am not surprised it's in the log. Cannot Update Windows using WindowsUpdate?
Unless anyone has any more ideas I'll continue Microsoft. If I have no joy there I'll have to format my PC :. I didn't realise until afterwards so fired off a second e-mail to ask them to ignore the first one. I then re-sent it to the correct team.
To save repeating myself I've pointed them to this thread. MS have contacted me nice and quick and as I suspected the only solution they can give is to Upgrade Vista over the top of the existing one. The problem here is I have one of those god awful System Restore Discs which doesn't offer that functionality.
I've given them the details so they can ship me one :p. I wasn't expecting that, most impressive. I ended up sending off to two Support Requests and the one sent to the Windows Update team has been passed to the right team.
The second ticket has also been actioned by someone else too. Unlike the first Microsoft person the one which first went to the Windows Update team who has read this forum link I provided the second person has not and has asked me to try loads of things I've already said I've tried :.
The first person said she spoke to her Manager for some time and he authorised a Vista replacement DVD. I do believe that is the only solution I have left. I've replied to the second person asking they close the duplicate support ticket. I wouldn't call that "fussy. Heck, those hacked binaries tend to be edited in a hex editor, by somebody who doesn't know what the actual code looks like.
As it happens SP1 still failed when I put it back anyway. I think it's fussy an Update would care that much about one DLL. Just the filenames.
I didn't touch the Backup folder but I did delete several other files in various subfolders stored inside WinSxs. Either way it's a shame I didn't see that link earlier as it could've in theory helped me out, as I messed around with other folders in WinSxS it could've effect the Backup folder too. I don't understand how restoring the actual file and creating an empty file with the same file name is really any different though?
You'd think Microsoft support would've suggested the solution in this link. I forget which. My License code worked fine with it, despite originally being provided one of those god awful System Restore discs. This obviously fixed the problem.
I wanted to buy a larger hard disk anyway. Now I'm up and running I've formatted the old one and will sell it. Search In. Share More sharing options Followers 0. Recommended Posts.

Re-downloaded the file and again the byte size is ,, bytes. B: Reformat and reinstall Vista, followed by SP1. Unless I can find a solution I may have to do that.
