VISTA SP1 bombs out...

Downloaded the "official" trial release this AM from the MS site.

Invoked program, got a progress bar that went about halfway across the
progress bar box. Then I got a message that the upgrade suffered a fatal
error. Box came up, directing me to
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkID=1001139.

That took me to a general MS error page, but absolutely no useful
information.

Here's the error screen:

Suggestions?

Tried it again from the beginning, same error.

Thanks1

Whoops...that's 101139, not 1001139. No info there, either.

Its probally because everyone is trying to download it as well.

I downloaded it.
561 KB.

Or are you saying that once I start the install on it, it has to
communicate with MS while it is installing?

The full SP1 size is about 436 meg. Where did you get your download from
again?

You should have downloaded the "full" package from here
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
- down near the bottom of the page. It is 436.3 mb.

Yeah, I downloaded that one, too. Same bombed out result.

The first one was the big multi language pack.

If that's what he should have done, then that's what Microsoft
should have instructed him to do. Instead, most download a
small file that tells Vista update to check for SP1. Then they
have to download 2 more files and get current on other priority
updates *before* SP1 will show up in Updates.

Exactly the same problem here, I downloaded the
Windows6.0-KB936330-wave0-X64.exe file, ran it and after a few mins it
bombed out with the same error you got, pointing to a link that doesn't
exist.

Nice to see MS is carrying on with the same tradition of product quality in
SP1 as in the original Vista ;-)

You are correct Michael -
Since I have the Ultimate Edition of Vista, I had to get 3 files before the
SP1 update showed up. The 1st two took 2 tries to install and the 3rd
installed on the 1st try. It mentions in the instructions to go slowly and
allow all the updates to complete their "tasks" before going on to the next
step. Not my strong point for sure:-)
I did all this at midnight last night, so I am guessing it wasn't as busy as
it is today. So far all is working fine.

Well, I am sorry for your trouble, but I'm glad I'm not alone in this!
