Hi All,
In the past, I upgraded my system from XP SP1 to SP2 and all worked well. After many months, I installed certain software(NetXPert) which intercepted my browsing experience weirdly due to which I uninstalled NetXPert. But now my IE6 has been corrupted. Whenever I try to close any IE window, I get the windows error message and asks for sending report to Microsoft. The error happens in oleaut32.dll module. I do have IE6 with latest service pack for it from Microsoft website.
To solve this, I tried to reinstall my XP SP2(facing problems in system operations as well like virtual scrolling disabled, searching files not opening up).
Now while reinstalling XP SP2, the setup wizard itself crashes while performing “Finishing/Cleanup” operation. The following is the error message I get every time I try XP SP2 again and again both in Safe mode as well as in Normal mode.
“error at the “Finishing Installation/Performing Cleanup” part of the install: “Service Pack 2 has encountered a problem & needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” AppName: update.exe; AppVer: 5.5.1005.0; AppStamp: 40f8193a; ModName: ntdll.dll; ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180;
I can’t figure out the solution for reinstalling Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Do any guys know how to safely reinstall XP service pack 2 and get around with this weird error message?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Nitin
