Vista SP1 Uninstall problem.

SilverWS602

Vista Pro
So this is the first issue I've really had with this.

I try to uninstall the current SP1 to install the new refresh and this is what happens.

All goes well until stage 3. Stage 3 gets to 74-75% and "hangs". When I say hangs... it does progress... SLOOOOOWLLLLYYY. Eventually its gets to about 85% then jumps to 100% and eventually says "uninstall has failed" and reverts changes.

It's 11:30pm right now. I started the uninstall at ~6:15pm. Between it going slowly and then reverting the changes, thats how long it took. Tried this twice so far, both with the same result. I previously uninstalled a different version of the SP, no issues.

Ideas?

I believe that if you have the original rc you have to uninstall it for refresh 1, but if you are going from refresh 1 to refresh 2 you do not uninstall. Could be wrong tho.

Yes, I have build 6001. Hope that I can uninstall it OK. I can see this forum being bombarded with such messages..I will probably be one of them, lol.

I was thinking you could go ahead and update with refresh 2 and then try and uninstall if need be. Since you have used restore it is a moot point anyway.:)
