Anybody else?

Welcome to the Vista x64 Forums

There's a Microsoft support page that addresses failed SP1 installations. Here's the link: 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"

I hope this helps.

Can anyone provide help for either of us?
