The original problem...... Quote: I have attempted to use latest adminpak.msi from .NET server RC1, but still getting the Service Pack level mismatch error. Has anyone found a solution to adminpak.msi and XP SP1? No disrespect intended but the original poster is experiencing the same thing I did. It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he did something wrong. It is a legitimate documented Microsoft error. If you install XP Pro then install .NET Admin Tools Pack and then Install Sp1 you cannot uninstall or update the Admin tools pack. It has absolutely "nothing" to do with anything you related to. I'm not trying to knitpick but if you knew the answer as you think do, why not answer this post last month when it was posted. I am only trying to help two people who share this same problem. Also.....if you are an MCSE why put MCP? We all know if you are an MCSE you have to be an MCP. The correct way to write it is MCSE+I.

As stated in my previous post, the .NET adminpack.msi can always be found in the I386 directory of the .NET product you are installing. The one that is on the website is RC1 specific. If you are installing interim builds use the one that comes with it.

Msizap.exe Msizap.exe is a command line utility that removes all Windows Installer information for a product or all products installed on a computer. Products installed by the installer may fail to function after using MsiZap. It is located here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000pro/util20/1/NT4/EN-US/msicuu.exe Simply install it and launch the application "Windows Installer Cleanup" it will open up a window similiar to your add/remove programs window. Choose the Administration Tools Pack and select remove and it will remove the necessary registry keys. After that you can install the updated adminpack.msi from the i386 directory of your installed product. Cheers!
