SP2 Install stops at "Running processes after install"

I've tried to install SP2 a number of times over the last few months, each
time I seem to fail at the same place.

For my last attempt I followed the instructions at
http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/spackins.htm to the letter but still get stuck
at the same point.

I've also tried the dll registrations mentioned in various newsgroups, but
can't get past this.
Can anyone sugguest how I can move forward or is there a relevant piece of a
log file I can post - I see 6 generated MeCtrOC, WindowUpdate, sprecovr,
setupapi, sessmgr.setup and svcpack

Thanks

Try this. In my svcpack.log I have a line which looks like this:
<example>
Starting process: D:\WINDOWS\system32\spnpinst.exe /afterinstall
</example>

After that a bunch of sc commands were issued.
After that a bunch of other commands were issued,
some of them silently but all of them are probably
ones you could try reissuing yourself to get a better
idea of why they are failing (perhaps authorization?).
Are you doing this as an administrator or as user with
administrative privileges?


To find the same thing in yours first scroll to the bottom of the file
(e.g. in Notepad), then do a find up for a string of equal signs, such as:
======== then find (forward) afterinstall. I suspect you might find
some error messages there which will be good clues for you.

Don't try to post from there to the end of the file though (unless it's
a reasonable size); on mine that would include over 1400 lines.


Good luck
