RE: SP4 instalation failure

I've installed sp4 on a few machines for testing and had some weirdness.

• I've received popups at the end of the install on three machines, stating that something did not work correctly and asking me if I want to roll-back the changes made or continue, leaving my server in a semi-patched state (damn, I wish I had written that down...). I've both rolled back the changes and then reinstalled receiving the same error, and let it "finish" leaving me semi-patched. hfnetchk 3.86 reports everything is fine (as does qfecheck and windows update of course). I do notice tho that running qfecheck on these machines lists about 30 hotfixes, whereas running qfecheck on machines where sp4 installed without complaining lists only three. so I'm assuming the script which cleans up the add/remove programs list and installed hotfix list isn't running. possibly some other cleanup script too.
• on my domain workstations, logging in with the domain admin acocunt ALWAYS gives me a "your roaming profile could not be loaded" error. logging in as any other user has no issues. I'm so far betting that tightvnc had the ntuser.dat file locked again and this is what is generating my error, but I haven't had time to confirm that yet or see if this occurs on a server. (tightvnc was responsible for the dreaded "Windows cannot unload your registry class file. If you have a roaming profile, your settings are not replicated. Contact your administrator.", it was keeping the ntuser.dat file open and preventing changes from being saved - thank you http://www.eventid.net!)

anyone else?
