Pretty much the same process here. Went through the staged "fixes"
(Cryptographic Services, rename Catalog directories [or whatever]). Managed
to fix the intermediate updates but SP2 AND NOW Net Framework 3.0 fail to
update.
In trying to apply Vista compatability patch, the program reports that "This
version of Server 2003 needs at least SP1"!!! So the new Dell Workstation
won't work properly.
My tolerance of Microsoft ubiquity is diminishing rapidly.
Am trying a re-boot and trying again this evening.
