Trying to help out a friend's son who was having issues with his pc. Got
all the viruses and trojans off. Now it seems that he never did a windows
update since he had gotten the pc. The windows update site not longer will
allow you to upgrade for vista hope with no service packs. I down loaded
the standalone Vista x86 sp1 and it will not install.

I ran the Check Sytem Rediness and it cleaned up every error except for
these

Binary Version 6.0.6002.22359

Checking Packages
(f) CBS Registry Error 0x00000002 Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component

Checking Component Store


The PackageDetect and Packages hive does not exist in the registry and I
can't figure out how to add them (permission error)



Any help would be appreciated.


TIA

Barry

Barry Shapiro, thou weed. Ye are a shrill-gorged degenerate, a
money-grabbing glass-gazer, an ugly base foul stone falsely set, a
loathed wrinkled witch, a fiend like thee might bear my soul to hell.

Format and reinstall.
