KB2884256 update fails, Dexcom driver install fails
sptilton:
I uninstalled SP2, the KB2884256 update and the Dexcom driver failures still occurred. I got vlite (the program to create an updated installation disc) to run, but when trying to slipstream SP2 it stops working. Since removing SP2 did not help, I am not sure using an updated installation disc for repairs would help. I received a number of new updates. They all installed except for the problematic KB2884256.

The idea was to avoid the problems with slipstreaming SP2 by creating a bootable SP1 disk from the previously linked article.
Create an external system image - uninstall SP2 then do the repair install using the Sp1 ISO and then reinstall SP2.
Shane:
You want the disk to have SP2 no matter what. A repair install is basically doing an upgrade to the same version of Windows. Thats why you would normally need SP2 on the disk since you already have SP2 on the system and you cant upgrade backwards.
Not to mention the huge amount of bug fixes in SP2 is always good to have.

RE: Where is SP1?
SP1 (KB936330) came out Feb 4, 2008. My machine was built in August 2008. As best I can tell, all the dates on the files and folders on the Vista installation disc are November 2, 2006.
Except for the problematic USB security update, KB2884256, all other critical updates have properly installed.
The list of installed updates shows SP2 (KB948465), but not SP1. So what happened to SP1? If it is on the install disc, how can I verify it? If it is not there, what happened to it?
Shane:
Tell you what, shoot me an email and I will see if there is a way for me to upload a vista sp2 iso to you. I dont mind doing it because its not a hacked version or anything, just a normal vista sp2 disk which I use when reinstalling vista, which I havent had to do in a long time lol
Its over 3 GB in size, so let me know :wink:
