While I installed Vista SP2 my anti-virus found a trojan named Trojan.Heur and something else and quarantine it, then it finished and rebooted and doesn’t boot anymore even restore didn’t help
What to do?

[...] Windows Vista SP2 Won’t Install: Fixes [...]

The link to the “System Readiness Update tool” included in the article is only good for the 32-bit Vista, and is an OLD version dated August 2008. There is a new version dated April 2009. Follow the included link, which will give a list and a choice of the version and the OS type (32- or 64-bit).

SP2 failed to install on Vista Business with SP1. Error code 490.
Downloaded and installed System Update Readiness Tool(2009). It said it was “installing” and ran to completion with no notifications.

SP2 still fails to install. Searched MS for error 490…nothing.

how do you fix the 0×800B0100 TRUST_E_NOSIGNATURE error?

Experiencing same problem as Taz here, my anti-virus Bitdefender found 3 trojans named Trojan.Heur and quarantined it. After SP2 finished installing, when attempting to reboot, a black screen came up and Vista would not start up (nothing I’ve tried so far has worked). I need technical help and it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the info. Worked well for me. System Readiness Update tool ran for about an hour. SP2 would still not install. I had to delete vLite from the registry and then SP2 would install.

Add me to the list, just as Taz and exactly like Corus my Bitdefender found Trojan viruses during Vista SP2 download and install, and now I can’t boot into Windows and receive the “0Xc0000034 ! ! 2177/76481 (_0000000000000000.cdf-ms)” 03 error / CRCdisk.sys
System restore takes hours, and does not work ?? Anybody – what can we do

same thing happened to me, so i put the vista disc in and it restored it back to the last known successful boot, which worked.

My Vista 64 SP2 installed OK but when I rebooted, it hangs / fails with: 0xC0000034 7514/75517 amd64_microdoft-windows-d..pwindowmanager. Neither Safe Mode or Vista repair gets past this point.

Thankyou soooo much,

been trying for a week unsucessfully. Until the selective startup fix, worked and installed sp2. Very happy, so thanks for the tip!

Removing the Vlite file via regedit was all I had to do

They did make a mistake;
It should be 1. Click Start/Run
you want to enter regedit in the run window

not happy jane what a stuff around , should had gotten XP not this joke , lift you game microsoft . i may have to get a MAC !

Hey thanks a lot after installing the System Update Readiness Tool and disabling anti virus the SP2 for vista got installed

I’ve got 32Bit Vista (SP1) on an HP Media Center PC.
The SP2 update has failed twice (from the download file) and once from doing it through Windows Update.

All three times with E_FAIL(0×80004005)

I suspect the Anti-virus/firewall (Mcafee) suite. Most of these anti-virus are very hard to turn off. I think I’m going to un-install the whole suite and then try it.

What a bloody nightmare – sp2 won’t install on vista, sp1 was a problem. Vista is sh*te

there is no such thing is the vlite key, hklm\software doesnt exist, infact there is no such thing as hklm, but there is hkey, i hate idiots that dont tell the full story

Hello, when i install sp2 form windows update it installes and then after reboot it says install fails rollingback the install and then it deletes sp2 and it reboot in sp1 again!

“there is no such thing is the vlite key, hklm\software doesnt exist, infact there is no such thing as hklm, but there is hkey, i hate idiots that dont tell the full story
”
HKLM stands for HKEY Local Machine it very much exists as does software. Try engaging your brain before posting nonsense and confusing people

i have a hklm but no vlite ans ive tried the others

@techguy: Nice one, and well said!

Delete vLite key solved my problem..thank u so much..

I don’t have any vlite key neither, I’ve searched even in all registry. None of these advice works for me

Had a lot of the same problems as above. Got the eceive the “0Xc0000034 ! ! 2177/76481 (_0000000000000000.cdf-ms)” 03 error / CRCdisk.sys. . would not even boot.

I finally managed to get it to boot, but the whatever backout there was has messed up Media Player 11. I get a mis-matched dll message.

And of course, there is NO OFFICIAL download for WMP 11 for Vista.

If you go to the MS site and try to download you just get the version for XP. And get to go round&round following their links.

So, thanks Microsoft. . . put out fixes that make things even worse for your customers.

Wow “there is no such thing is the vlite key, hklm\software doesnt exist, infact there is no such thing as hklm, but there is hkey, i hate idiots that dont tell the full story”

Kalz your an idiot, quit bashing on those who don’t actually have to be here in the first place to even help us. It took me about a minute to think about HKLM but as techguy suggested I used my brain a lil and figured they just abbreviated.

I never fail to be amazed at how much Vista sucks on so many levels. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, you try and install SP2. Whole hours of my life have been lost to this that I will never get back again.

What is it with Microsoft and this delivery of substandard crap to their customers. I never known such a business like it releasing a product and developing 50 or more fixes to patch up the product. If this was a boat we would be banned from the sea right now, in fear of sinking to the bottom. The time of Microsoft being at the top of the food chain I believe is about to change. They are selfish in their relentless releasing of product after product, 3, 95, 98, 2000 ME (what the hell was that!) XP, Vista, 2003, and now another version about to mystify another crowd of unsuspecting buyers. I have seriously thought about changing to a MAC or Linux on many occassions but I like others are possibly scared because we are so used to this patched up piece of junk that it is almost like an addiction. We need to wean ourselves of this hallucinogenic W and start smoking a new brand. I have tried and tried to repeatedly to resolve this problem from everything that the Microsoft site has said about it but inevitably it is like a scene from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland where the further you get into it the deeper the mystery goes.

Does anyone have a definitive idea why I now have to install all my updates as standalones and why one particular update will just not install, update KB970653. The machine is still usuable you just feel like if it is important that the machine will be infiltrated by lots of hackers if you don’t install. Why do we have this fear because Microsoft has sold a not ready op system with major failings. Another Microsoft user is about to commit hari kari.

Microsoft: Vista Mission Statement “All our software engineers assigned to fixing Vista Bugs; test our software, we have the public for that…”

I’ve tried every possible solution for SP2 update on Vista Ultimate/ Dell – Inspiron 1525 – loaded with ram. Uninstalled all AV’s – got 0×80070026; ran checksur and again got error, ran in clean new admin profile and got same; tried selective startup – same failure; System appears to run fine without it – So, removed/hid it from future update attempts pending a Msoft resolution to the resolution. Time lost/tracked – 64 hours and counting – value of my 64 hours = $2,880. Should have bought a MAC for that. Considering Win7 ultimate as the solution; if the SP is deemed necessary. Lesson learned – do not accept all updates…

awesome dude thanks for helping
the best choose , was
Delete vLite key

If 64 hours of your time is worth $2,880 why buy such a poor performance laptop to begin with?
Installing windows 7 ultimate on that piece of crap would be like putting a 10.000$ paint job on a 100$ rust bucket…

wow what a pos im sick of this crap.this is the 3rd time iv’e had to do a fresh install of vista 64 bit.everything goes fine for about 2 months then it starts to get sluggish”if i move the mouse across the desktop it will freeze for a split sec every 3 or 4 secs. i have a custom built machine with nivida q9450mobo,2 8800gtoc’s in sli mode,8gigs ddr3,800w psu and so on.after updating and on and on i get it to be sumwhat stable.

but the other day i kept getting a sp2 update so i tried it dl’d fine.then it would make a restore point fine then go str8 to error 00008 blah blah something.so i contacted microsoft on there page.the rep asked to instal a program so that he could access my comp.i did that and he said there was corrupted files and showed me what he wanted to do to fix it. then wanted me to put my vista dvd in and upgrade from it.still no dice,then he told me my disc was bad and missing microsoft$ something.so he sent me out a new one.

i get it yesterday and installed it and from a fresh install it’s still sluggish.windowsupdate,showed i had 60+ updates so i let it do it’s thing and half of them won’t install and keep saying i need to reboot.i have rebooted like 15 times and still it keeps showing that i need to reboot you know the button that turns red in the startup bar telling u need to reboot.

still sp2 won’t install and half the others either.

i read about the vlite key where is it at? i went to regedit and saw hkeyclassroot,hkey local machine and others im guessing it’s in a sub folder?i’ll keep looking..hope that fixes it if i find it.

for the peeps looking for the wmp11 dl here it is looked and looked but here it is.

what a load of rubbish – I will not buy another MS operating system – you are better with a MAC. Tried all the above and nothing – I’m am just hiding the update after I had to completely reinstall everything. Took hours. Vista is Sh*t, and from what I have heard Windows 7 isn’t that much reliable. Think more people need to stand up to MS. Change to a MAC- Faster, more reliable and they look nice. This isn’t there first mistake – take the Xbox 360 which all go into meltdown after a year and they don’t know why? Stupid. As soon as my Xbox goes I’m getting a PS3 and I should imagine the Xbox 720 will be just as unreliable. I hope Micrsoft will reply to this and help me sort out my problem as I’ve been trying to contact them for months now. I will let you all know.

There is no hklm…HKEY like other posts above. what’s going on Microsoft??? Time to admit the problem can’t be fixed hence the release of win7. I can get this but why should I – It will be the same. Power consuming, unreliable, slow after the updates installed because of the coding causing problems. And programs not responding….then the annoying little message saying”would you like to report this problem to Micorsoft”

go here peeps,

http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2009/03/06/fix-blank-or-empty-list-in-vista-turn-windows-features-on-or-off-optionalfeaturesexe/

I flat out guarantee if you follow the instructions detailed on this blog it will solve your problems with a flaky XP, Vista, or even Win7 install….

I spent over 6 months chasing solutions, even Microsoft Techs are telling people a complete reinstall (fresh) is the only solution….

This is the only solution I have found that flat out works, it will also help you fix problems yo didn’t even know you had, LOL

Meh, what do I know….

Enjoy…

Laterzzzzzzz……….

Windows update quit working. I tried the standalone updater, the Fix-It updater etc., w/o luck. I tried to install SP2 and no luck either.

I have tried all of the above fixes and have inserted my Vista Ultimate disk and tried to run an upgrade. I get all the way until the end (3 hours later) and it says unable to configure Vista and it then rollsback. I have tried the System Readiness Tool, tried selective startup.

I wasn’t able to find “vLite” but I did find “dmvLite”. Should I delete that registry entry?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thank you!

Microsft are shit – 20 times I have tried to get this update (SP2) They have even taken control of my laptop and found no issues. Why create something that doesn’t work. This just shows how unreliable Microsoft is. I agree with the above posts get a Mac!

oh and to Microsoft who think they can keep me quiet by deleting posts just try I will keep trying untill this update is installed. I know its not me as I have seen a number of cases where posts have been deleted when they start talking about how unreliable your software is. The quick release of win 7 shows that Vista is to much of a problem to sort out. I will post on all forums and get group organised on Facebook, Twitter and Bebo.

By the way don’t try the above it is a waste of time, some tec guy doesn’t fully understand the problem!

once again my problem is:

Service pack 2 downloads starts installing, reboots, gets to stage 3 of 3 100% then failed to install reverting changes. Does anyone have a solution for this because microsoft doesn’t have a clue. The only suitable options I can consider is hide the update or better still get a reliable better looking MAC.

help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! post the correct solution up or say the truth which is there isn’t one.

I have tried all the above, and even more! Deleting updates, reinstallig everthing from scratch, safe mode, sending diagnostic results to M/S, sending logs, looking at HKLM Syshiper folder being told to create this folder when I already have it…hmmm? Microsoft took control of laptop and could see nothing wrong even recorded one of the employees saying we have a lot of problems with this and can’t sort it out.

To those of you that can’t type complete words, can you stop with the texting style please? Some of us would really like solutions to our problems, not reading your texting garbled crap

i got rid of vlite registry branch to let me install it but this is the last thing to sort out “INSTALLATION WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL A SYSTEM ERROR PREEVENTED THE SERVICE PACK FROM INSTALLING.
THE ERROR WAS “ERROR: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND(0×80070002) plz help

I can’t get sp2 vista x86 to install
have tried all help offered and nothing works
although no vlite key to be found

I feel for the person that had trouble with the shortened hklm as i am a tech and didn’t know that…

This is supposed to be helpful end user advice not complex advice designed for techs only.
Are they expecting everyone to pay $300 for a tech who can understand the so called help being offerred on top of the cost of VISTA?

Anyway, its about time Microsoft got off there zillion dollar horse and did something usefull like fix vista for the poor thousands that paid for it and are stuck with it!
I can only presume they are hoping all the suckers (ie me) that paid hard earned cash for vista will just fork out another $650 for Windows 7, hoping and praying we dont get ripped AGAIN!
