Interrupted download SP1 for Vista Business - fix error too!

[puja_bhakti]

80070002 error code received - follow fix instructions to turn off update and
empty folders etc which I have done - a number of times as double-check - but
this doesn't work. went to advnaced fix with these instructions which I
followed:

To resolve this problem, remove the download directory, and then visit the
update locations again. To do this, follow these steps:1. Stop the Automatic
Updates service. To do this, follow these steps:a. Click Start, click Run,
type services.msc, and then click OK.
b. Right-click the Automatic Updates service, and then click Stop.
c. Minimize the Services snap-in.

2. Rename the SoftwareDistribution directory. To do this, follow these
steps: a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. Type cd %windir%, and then press ENTER.
c. Type ren SoftwareDistribution SDTemp, and then press ENTER

But at his point I get "ACCESS DENIED"

I simply cannot believe downloading the presumably vital service pack is
proving impossible - and add this to my blue scrreens at start-up and
mid-programme use that make me hate this operating system - oh if only it
wouldn't be a nightmare to uninstall and get my stable, reliable,
problem-free XP back!

Finally got SPack by downloading it direct into a temp file and - guess what?
Now it intrerrupts during installation - for God's sake! Vista is a
complete and utter nightmare! I'm betting NOBODY knowes where to go from
here? The error code is: 0.80070002
Please...someone...help....

Followed instructions to end but only option I have is not to install and run
these files, butextract with WinRAR - do I do this, and if so, extract to
which folder?

Are you attempting to install Vista SP1 via Windows Update or manually?

> But at his point I get "ACCESS DENIED"

Are you logged on as Administrator?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

Have tried by update and manually when update failed then update helped
proved unsuccessful. I am logged on as administrator. I run AVG, Spybot and
Adaware and no 3rd party firewall.

Soory, typo error when I should have said:
Have tried by update and manually when update failed then update's help

proved unsuccessful. I am logged on as administrator. I run AVG, Spybot and
Adaware and no 3rd party firewall.

Is Spybot Tea Timer enabled?

Is Ad-Aware's Guard service running in the background when you attempt to
install SP1?

What "blue screen" (BSOD) errors are you getting? I would STRONGLY
recommend get those issues resolved before attempting to installed SP1
again.

=> Please begin a new thread in the appropriate Vista-specific newsgroup
about the BSODs.

Yes Teatimer is enabled, but I'm not aware of Adaware's Guard Service and
certainly didn't configure it.
Have already put blue-screen info on another thread. Will try to fix that
first (not that I haven't tried already, but like this, I've followed
"fix-it" instructions to no avail and am mighty sick of Vista right now!)
before I trying to fix this, but would like info in advance on how to go
about it. Right now I can't ever see Vista running even half-properly.

Disable Spybot Tea Timer and leave it disabled for the time being (i.e.,
until you get all of your problems sorted and SP1 installed). See
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=32409

NB: If you don't fully understand what Tea Timer does and how it does it,
leave it permanently disabled.

Once you get the BSOD issues sorted and if you're still having problems
installing Vista SP1 via Windows Update (don't try it manually, please),
open a free support incident.

PS: The only other thread of yours that I can find doesn't involve the BSOD
errors.

Good luck.

Hi..
Have the same problem, But...
I found out. My Vista Ultimate can't go to real Admin mode.
If i try to start regedit it say.. File not found.
But i manage to start regedit in safe mode as real admin.
Most important update does not work now.

All this started when i got a uppdate some month's ago.
The uppgrade was ActiveX Killbits. KB950760

I Can't do anything that must enable Admin rights. Like upgrade and install.
Not even Administrator can enable Admin right.

Ps.
I have a identical computer on my office. This one still work.
