Hello, I have tried installing Windows Vista SP1 roughly 8-10 times now, with no luck any time. It always gets to 98% complete on the first stage, then sits there for awhile before reverting, rebooting, and trying again.
First time I got error code 0x800F0826, and Microsoft directs me here:
Error message when you try to install Windows Vista Service Pack 1: "Installation was not successful" or "An internal error occurred while installing the service pack"
None of the resolutions work.
Then I got this message a few times 0x800705B4
Which I have read is a "Timed out" error.
Its always at 98% on stage 1 of 3 that it hangs up before it fails and reverts.
I have given my manufacturer remote access to my PC, they re-registered the windows update dll files, removed any pending/queued updates that may have been causing it to fail(which also cleaned out my update history) and had me download a file titled Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe from Microsoft.
Still no luck, same errors, same time of the install. I have also download and burned to a disk the .ISO file Microsoft has to download of SP1, with no luck still, again same errors at the same time.
If someone could help, it would be much appreciated.
Here is some information from my computer I think might be useful, let me know how to get more of what you need to know if there is any.
