Windows 2k sp3 update error

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

 

I'm a bit desperate about this problem, and i have tried to find some assistance even on the microsoft site without success.

 

When i'm trying to update (via net) from Windows 2k server sp2 for the sp3, he starts to "inspect the system" and then give the following error message.

 

Service Pack 3 Setup Error

The file c:\arcsetup.exe is open or in use by another application

Close all....

 

 

i have try it all with no success

 

 

Help?

Have you tried killing all the unnecessary processes (like virus protection, etc.) Have you tried upgrading it from safe mode?

From the "net" .... does this mean from windowsupdate or from the FULL network version of SP3?

Corrupt download?

 

Have you tried extracting the file with winzip and running the update.exe manudally?

 

NTFS permissions on the drive not standard?

Corrupt? I don't think so. I have tryied already to installed manually, but the result is the same. This update was installed in more computers without problems.

 

The permitions are all ok.
