We recommend the process that this article describes to enable programs to operate as they are designed to or to implement specific program capabilities. Before you make these changes, we recommend that you evaluate the risks that are associated with implementing this process in your particular environment. If you decide to implement this process, take any appropriate additional steps to help protect the system. We recommend that you use this process only if you really require this process.</p><p> </p><p>One of the most common causes of installation failure is when a third-party application holds a file open or locks a file that the service pack installation program needs. For example, a third-party antivirus or antispyware application may cause this problem. To minimize this chance, follow these steps before you try to install Windows Vista SP1: 1.Close all applications, and then restart your computer. 2.After your computer has restarted, disable any antivirus or any antispyware applications that may load during the startup process. </p><p> </p><p>You can usually disable the application from the notification area. To disable an application from the notification area, right-click the third-party program icon, and then click an option to close or to disable the application. The <strong>Close</strong> option or the <strong>Disable</strong> option may resemble the following options: •<strong>Disable</strong>•<strong>Close</strong>•<strong>Exit</strong>3.As soon as you close the antivirus or the antispyware application, try to install Windows Vista SP1 from the Windows Update site or from the Microsoft Update site. Or, try to install Windows Vista SP1 from the full download package. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Note</strong> If you downloaded the full download package, try to install Windows Vista SP1 from the full download package. 4.After you have completed the Windows Vista SP1 installation, enable the antivirus or the antispyware application that you disabled in step 2. <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366#top" target="_blank"><img src="http://support.microsoft.com/library/images/support/kbgraphics/public/en-us/uparrow.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><u><span style="color: #0066cc">Back to the top</span></u></a></p><p><strong>Resolution 4: Check your hard disk for errors</strong></p><p> </p><p>loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation');This method is rated: Easy. </p><p>Estimated Time: Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. </p><p> </p><p>For more information, visit the following Microsoft Web site: <a href="http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/bc1393cf-9f9c-79c7-0f91-9337c2c41f811033.mspx" target="_blank"><u><span style="color: #0066cc">http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/bc1393cf-9f9c-79c7-0f91-9337c2c41f811033.mspx</span></u></a> (<a href="http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/bc1393cf-9f9c-79c7-0f91-9337c2c41f811033.mspx" target="_blank">http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/bc1393cf-9f9c-79c7-0f91-9337c2c41f811033.mspx</a>)</p><p><a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366#top" target="_blank"><img src="http://support.microsoft.com/library/images/support/kbgraphics/public/en-us/uparrow.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><u><span style="color: #0066cc">Back to the top</span></u></a></p><p><strong>Resolution 5: Run the System File Checker tool</strong></p><p> </p><p>loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation');This method is rated: Easy. </p><p>Estimated Time: 10 to 20 minutes.</p><p> </p><p>The System File Checker tool scans system files and replaces incorrect versions of the system files by using the correct versions. </p><p> </p><p>To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps: 1.Click <strong>Start</strong><img src="http://support.microsoft.com/library/images/support/kbgraphics/Public/EN-US/VistaStartButton.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />, and then type cmd in the <strong>Start Search</strong> box. 2.Right-click <strong>cmd</strong> in the <strong>Programs</strong> list, and then click <strong>Run as administrator</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click <strong>Continue</strong>. 3.At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER: sfc /scannow</p><p>When the scan is complete, test to see whether the issue that you are experiencing is resolved. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Note</strong> If you encounter an error when you try to run the System File Checker, just ignore the error, and go to the next troubleshooting method.
