I've been trying to install SP4 on our Exchange server on Windows 2000 SP2 for as long as the darned thing has been out. It goes to what looks like almost done to say Successful -but it gives this weird error of Access Denied 0xc000405 or some such (I forget the exact number of hand), and quits. BTW: It started with pointing out errors in the various .ins files. "error at line 48" in server.ins and such. Most of these were registry edits. Upon checking the registry I noted the changes these ins files were trying to make were all already there! So I simply commented out those lines and it would go ont to the next file... until almost all the files were commented out.
It goes no farther and I am stuck. Everything seems works well except a few quirks: # I cannot install post SP4 hotfixes. #In the Administrator - trying to change any settings presents a dialog box with three options, Abort/ Ignore/ quit - we choose ignore and the settings box shows up. Mostly lets me do what I need to. Every now and then errors out and tells me to restart the Administrator or the server if restarting the administrator doesn't work. I donated $245 to Microsoft Tech Support last year, a bunch of 'you know what's' they are. They had me start the Administrator in Raw mode and manually change the version number! Still the Post SP4 hotfixes don't work. So they suggested I reinstall the server!! Say What!! And I gave up there. Any and all help will be appreciated.
