How do you prepare your computer to enable Vista Service Pack 1 to install without failing at the last moment?

Question

Is anyone else out there having problems installing Service Pack 1?

Have attempted around 7 times - gets to the last few seconds of 3of3 the 'Failed to install - Reverting changes.' -- DRIVING ME NUTS!.

ANY TIPS/SUGGESTIONS ANYONE? - THANX.

Answer 1

Vista needs a major debugging session,it has been too rushed and it was done by delaying XP sp1.Not a good practice and now it is causing a lot of problems.I suggest trying the download from a different download site (if not from microsofts own site ).
