SP1 installation error "80073B01"

Hello!

I tried to install Vista SP1 four times till now and every time I get the
error code "80073B01". I searched the internet but found nothing, that
explained this code.

I'm using Home Premium 32 (german version) and installed the pre-SP patches
before. Any ideas?
Thanks!

<cmd_output OS="XPsp2">
E:\>set /a c = 0x3B01
15105
E:\>net helpmsg %c%
15105 is not a valid Windows network message number.
</cmd_output>

Do you get any different reply to: net helpmsg 15105
on your Vista?

Something like this perhaps?

I guess the German version would want the MUI File loaded? ; )

If you want to find out what it's called I suspect you will need to search your logs
for any instance of the above codes. In any case I would try using ProcMon to supplement
whatever diagnostics you do manage to come up with.

Good luck

It would be very nice if someone could help me with this. (

Please doublecheck that error number. I can only find two online references
for 80073B01: One is your thread here; the other is your thread (I assume)
in the gaming forum www.gamestar.de.

Thanks for tryin' to help me! I checked that error code more than six times
or so and did the search before. That's why I wrote down my problem here. I
also made the experience, that my threads are the only ones with this issue.

@Robert:
Thanks for your help. When I type "net helpmsg 15105" in the cmd.exe, I
actually get a german error message which contents " The resource loader
cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry." But without any codes like "0x3B01".

Excuse my silly question, but now I wonder which log you mean exactly and
how procmon can help me while I try to update to SP1?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I found a solution for me now:

I searched for a solution for the MUI-entry problem and found a forum post
where somebody explained, that he just temporarily deactivated the Vista user
control and got it work. So i did this and double-checked to deactivate my
AntiVir.

Well, it didn't help me with the MUI-entry problem but after that SP1
installed properly.

Strange world,
Thanks!
