RE: SP4 instalation failure

I did not experience the same issue that you did. I was running Win2K server w/ SP3 + IIS and updated the O/S using the SP4 Network Installation. I suspect your error messages are related to permissions.

Subject: SP4 instalation failure

Hi all,

I have a Windows 2000 Server with SP3 (fully patched), and (this is important) with IIS installed by default which means all the extensions were still there (like .htr, .htw, etc...).

I installed SP4 (network installation) and in the end I was presented with a messagebox:

• title "sp4iis"
• msg "unable to write scriptmaps metabase entry"

I pressed ok and then another messagebox:

• title "sp4iis"
• msg (this one I am not 100% sure) "regsvr32 failed. the error was 5"

I tried the installation 2 more times with always the same result. Next, I went to IIS and removed .htr and .htw and .idq and .ida extensions and tried again.

Do you need help?

Has anyone been presented with a similar behavior ?
