Service Pack 2 update fails with iis.inf error 0xe0000102

Updating Windows XP Home Edition SP1 to SP2 is driving me nuts!
I can't count the hours I spent on this, because every try involves rolling
back, sometimes automatically, sometimes manually.
The first problems were 'access denied' errors, which I fixed one by one by
correcting the registry permissions. I am past this Chinese water torture
stage.

Now SP2 update aborts with an error saying 'update.exe' detected an error
and has to quit. No hint as to which error.

I used Windows Update as well as executing a selfextracting executable
(downloaded from microsoft), both fail the same way.

The errors I came across in %systemroot%\setupapi.log are like this:

#E197 Writing "C:\WINDOWS\INF\wmp.inf" to "C:\WINDOWS\INF" is not an
approved method of installing INF files. Use a 'CopyINF' entry instead.
-Not just wmp.inf, but for what seem to be all *.inf files in that directory
(hundreds).

Then, later
#E077 Could not locate a non-empty section [iis_common_install] when
calculating disk space in "C:\WINDOWS\INF\iis.inf". Error 0xe0000102: Die
erforderliche Zeile wurde in der INF-Datei nicht gefunden.
#E077 Could not locate a non-empty section [iis_inetmgr_install] when
calculating disk space in "C:\WINDOWS\INF\iis.inf". Error 0xe0000102: Die
erforderliche Zeile wurde in der INF-Datei nicht gefunden.
#E077 Could not locate a non-empty section [iis_pwmgr_install] when
calculating disk space in "C:\WINDOWS\INF\iis.inf". Error 0xe0000102: Die
erforderliche Zeile wurde in der INF-Datei nicht gefunden.
#E077 Could not locate a non-empty section [iis_www_install] when
calculating disk space in "C:\WINDOWS\INF\iis.inf". Error 0xe0000102: Die
erforderliche Zeile wurde in der INF-Datei nicht gefunden.
#E077 Could not locate a non-empty section [iis_doc_install] when
calculating disk space in "C:\WINDOWS\INF\iis.inf". Error 0xe0000102: Die
erforderliche Zeile wurde in der INF-Datei nicht gefunden.
#E077 Could not locate a non-empty section [iis_ftp_install] when
calculating disk space in "C:\WINDOWS\INF\iis.inf". Error 0xe0000102: Die
erforderliche Zeile wurde in der INF-Datei nicht gefunden.
[2006/11/08 03:30:01 3992.95]

The last part is german and translates to "The required line was not found
in the INF file".

This set of errors occurs several times, e.g. before this line:
#-198 Command line processed: c:\windows\$hf_mig$\KB885835\update\update.exe
-Z -Q -O -B:SP2GDR
for dozens of patches to be migrated.

Does anybody know what to do next?
Do I have a corrupt iis.INF file? - and where do I get the correct one with
the required lines in it?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

i keep getting system alert:trojan-spy.win32@mx ive tryed everything it
hasent worked..dont kown if tis fack or real deal.need help.

Service Pack 2 finally installed, when I used "Microsoft Update" in an
Internet Explorer, as opposed to the other tries when Mozilla was used. (And
funnily enough, the same error messages as above are in the log file).

#BUT#

I had to uninstall it again, because all operations that required Windows
Explorer (not IE), failed. :-(
Not even opening the Trash can / deleting files / adding directories /
opening applications on the desktop / etc. worked.

A window popped up saying "Explorer.exe has encountered a problem and needs
to close" everytime.

Admittedly, it does happen from time to time also on XP SP1, but not nearly
as often as it did with SP2.

So until I can figure out what causes it I have uninstalled SP2. *sigh*

Any hints would be appreciated.

Hi;

Update your antivirus software and run a full scan of your system. If you
don't have a current AV program, you can download the free AVG package from
http://www.grisoft.com/doc/products-...g/us/tpl/tpl01

You should also download, install, update, and then run the AdAware (also
free) program from LavaSoft:
http://www.lavasoft.de/products/ad-a...e_personal.php

Once those two packages are installed, and you have cleaned your system, be
sure to update and run both of them at least once a week.
