Honourable Software Engineering

As a software engineer, I feel that it is absolutely necessary to allow for
the uninstall of your software, regardless of the reason.

I installed SP2 a week or two ago, and since then I have not been able to
make Windows Update work at all. I've experienced about three different
error codes. I am behind a software and hardware firewall already, and am
quite capable of managing my own security.

It seems that Microsoft is trying to muscle in on my computer and take
control away from me. I have been a very competent user for quite a few
years, and now I find myself unable to even uninstall this atrocious
dis-service pack.

"The system cannot find the file specified."
"The Service Pack 2 was not uninstalled."

The bottom line is:
I want to uninstall some of your software, and you should be ashamed that
firstly, it won't uninstall, and that secondly, it doesn't tell me anything
useful in it's error message.

Next time, how about you finish your software before releasing it to the
public.

Yours unimpressed,
Mezla

If you let us know what the error codes are, and provide the relevant
sections of your WindowsUpdate.log file, perhaps we can begin to help you.

Dale..

I am not a Computer Guru. I am having 4 or 5 of the same exact problems
that these folks are having.... No Icon, OR partial Download then Bombs... I
noticed there are some SP2 install software in my Control Panel ADD/Remove
area yet Download says failed... I like others, would like to resolve this..
What part of the WindowsUpdate.log do you need? The whole file or the last
several days? I would be happy to send a copy of mine if it would help...
