Hi,

Error 0x8007F01e is :

STR_CATALOG_INSTALL_FAILED
Failed to install catalog files.


Deleting or renaming the Catroot2 folder will most likely fix this
problem, I have created a batch file that does this for you.

Go to
http://www.michna.com/kb/WxSP2.htm#C...Service_Pack_2

Look for fixdb.bat under "Error 0x800710D9 Unable to read from
or write to the database". Download and run it.

Thanks, but that did not work. I also ran this before (no idea what
it did!) but someone reported success with it, and that didn't help
either. That web site is excellent; thank you.

That didn't fix the problem, but it has corrected itself, and as of
today I am fully patched. I have no idea what caused the problem or
what fixed it, I just know that all is fine now!

I have a windows 2003 small business server. Will your fix work for that
too?

What is the error that you are getting or what is your issue. Very hard to say if the same will work for you since you did not post your actual issue and at the same time you Hijacked somebody else's thread

Seeing as it is posted in the same thread, perhaps it would be reasonable
that it's the same issue, just on a different platform. Hmm... seems like
that's what he posted.

I also am in the same boat. I get the exact error mentioned when attempting
to install SP2 on a 2003 SBS.

Sheesh, and people say Linux support groups are rude.

Regarding the XP SP-2 install - I am getting the same "unable to read or
write to database" error; have tried all the usual tricks suggested here and
on the microsoft web site (including running the fixdb.bat file in "safe"
mode) and each time always the same error message. It pops up during the
time the install window says that the installer is setting a restore point.

(In case you wonder - this is on a 2003 computer. Had tried to install SP-2
several years ago and gave up). Am installing from a CD-ROM SP-2 installer
disk provided by Microsoft.

Would appreciate any additional suggestions as to how to get SP-2 running.
