2003 server sp1 fails

It gets to what seems to be about 3/4 of the way through of the install
process, then gives and error window that says: "Windows Server 2003 has been
partially updated and may not work properly." Then it uninstalls itself,
reboots, and goes back to normal. I have no idea what the problem could be,
so below you will see the end of the svcpack.log:

Exactly the same error? That one seems unusual.
The usual problem with that update is a permissions problem.
Some people are also able to install it after uninstalling
and reinstalling the whole product. YMMV.

Also, beware the odd inserted spaces (probably tab marks for Google
ads benefit) on those pages. They could make finds in those pages
problematic.

Those aren't interesting. Basically just codes saying it didn't work
but not telling you anything about why. The one that I extracted
from your link was the first error symptom and I suspect that if anybody
was familiar with ToGac.exe and its return codes that it would be
sufficient to know what it was telling us about your System.xml.dll
Perhaps even without such documentation it would have been enough
to know that there was something different about that module
compared to the previous one which was processed by the same utility:
System.Windows.Forms.dll E.g. perhaps you could have used one of
the .NET Framework admin tools to check on the status of both of those
modules. Etc.

Good work. But I'm curious why did you used that diagnostic tool
(for WMI specifically) instead of a more general one for the .NET Framework?

Anyways, thanks for reporting your solution.
