Hi,
Got exactly the same Vista SP1 installation problem - same error code and
link:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=101139 for details.
I have tried:
- the standalone installation but same problem
- disabling all antivirus and antispyware applications
I have followed all the resolution steps suggested on microsoft site. All
seem ok except the final step (memtest) which returns a problem - suggesting
i should reboot with vista install cd and choose the repair option. I do all
that but still no luck.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers
