sw2004 sp5 installation problem |
|
|
when trying to apply the sw2004sp5.0 service pack, the installer acts like
it can't see the msi file on the cd, even though
it is in the preview window. I found a command line method in a bulletin
that was relevant to sp2.1 or whatever, but this
method didn't work either. Other service packs thru 4.1 worked on this
same cd set, and they autoexecute properly when first
put into the drive. antivirus was diabled.
Any ideas how to get the installer to work?
thanks

Um ... a bad CD?
Just a thought ... any visable damage?
Can you try someone else's to see if it works?
Check the files on it?

the cd seems OK, as it will autoexecute and start into the install routine.
When it looks for the msi file, the file name does show up in the browser
window.

Bill,
See prior topic SW2004 SP5.0 for a discussion on Windows Installer and this
service pack.

Yeah, and possibly use the Microsoft 'Windows Install Cleanup' tool in order
to be able to install 0.0.

I recall this happening to me when I installed it on one of our test boxes.
I browsed to the directory where it was supposed to be located and it seemed
to work fine. I do not recall the directory though.
