Windows Repair wont install

Hi
Apologies in advance for being a complete dunce here but nothing happens when I try to install Windows Repair? I have downloaded the exe file three times now and double click the file with no response. My PC runs XP SP2. I can run other exe files with no issues. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
George

Not sure if it is required to run Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v3.0.0, but you should grab SP3 (see below) or via Windows Update.

You really, REALLY should install SP3 on XP. Some of the commands I use and controls, use some API calls that where available in XP SP3 and newer versions of Windows.

But besides that, MS had put in a LOT of performance enhancements and bug fixes in SP3, not to mention the insane amount of updates AFTER SP3. :wink:

I havent tested my windows repair in SP2, I only tested it in XP sp3, so it is possible the installer also needs SP3, again I never checked on SP2 for that. So you could download the portable version and extract it and try that.

May I ask, why are you still on SP2?

Thanks for the update.

I was given the laptop I use. It has no Windows disks and no history. So I have not tried to perform any Windows updates in case it stops working.

As advised, I will try the portable version and let you know.

Thanks
George

Shane:
I would at least get SP3 installed, which you can do manually :-)
