could individual installations not be recognized as sp1?

AWS · February 25, 2013

I WAS HAVING INSTALLATION ERRORS CONSTANTLY..SO I DID A

FACTORY RESTORE AND THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE.

sp1 SHOWS SUCCESSFUL...THEN SHOWS NEEDS UPDATE AGAIN AND SP2

WILL NOT UPDATE UNTIL SP1 IS INSTALLED.

I EVEN DID THE HOTFIX 947821 FOR INSTALLATION ERRORS.

I RESTART AFTER EVERY INSTALLATION, STILL SHOWS NEEDS AGAIN.

EVEN MANUAL INSTALLATION IS NOT WORKING.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

2/25 I tried manual installation again...restarted several times, so I thought it was

working. Does not show in Installed updates.

each time before it showed successful...I thought purhaps I could uninstall and start

fresh...but again...does not show in installed updates.

Could it be that the individual components are installed and SP2 does not recognize

these as SP1 and therefore will not install as sp2?

Should I do another system restore and not let it do auto update.. .just try

manual SP1 and SP2 as well as the hotfix items?

I want a nice clean system before I add RAM and upgrade to Windows 8.
