Hi
I have a customer that has Winnt 4 on her machine and it has been a collegue of mine to the site to try and update the servicepack on the machine with no success.
When he tries to update the NT4 with the latest SP he gets an error message that says that the update/patch is ment to be used on a WINNT 4 Wrkstn, wich is exactly on what he is trying to install it to.

Has anyone heard of this problem before ?
ANY ideas is a good idea, Thanks !

I am not sure if this is your problem or not; it is just my first thought.
What version of SP6 are you trying to use, the 56-bit version or the High-encryption version? Because if the machine has a high-encryption version of IE installed, then you could not install the standard 56-bit encryption service pack.
To make sure, verify which SP version you have, and install the high-encryption verion.

hope this helps

Anyway, the problem is solved now, we did a reinstallation.
