Re: Error - SP2 - "requested section was not present in the activa

[Guest Susie]

Hi there,

I'm having problems installing SP2 also. I've tried several things from

this board, but my current error message is this one (0x87FF36B0) so that's

why I'm on this thread.

 

I've tried "Restore" and that didn't work. I've tried changing permissions

in the register. That seemed to get rid of some errors, but another would

appear. I'm not sure what log to look at to figure out what's going on.

(I'm not that savy on computers.) I'm not sure I'd know what the log was

telling me, anyway. My svcpak.log has errors in it. I don't know which

one's are critical. The first one that appears, in the 3rd line, is:

4.781: Failed To Enable SE_SHUTDOWN_PRIVILEGE

 

Is there anyone out there that can help me?

Thanks!

Hey,

 

I am having the same problem as Susie is having. I really thought I

could fix this by doing the solution of going to System Restore.

Though, I have been having this problem where I can't install Service

Pack 2 for a few days now. The last day I had SP2, I made a system

restore point. But that date is no longer available for me to backup

to, unfortunately. Am I kinda doomed here? Not sure what else to do.
