Repair Install Problem Started by JTboom , Aug 13 2009 06:24 AM Please log in to reply 3 replies to this topic #1 JTboom JTboom Members 20 posts OFFLINE Gender:Female Local time:02:16 PM Posted 13 August 2009 - 06:24 AM While attempting a repair install, I booted with my Windows XP CD and chose the option to Repair from the instructions in the link. After the files were copied, the system reboots into the Windows XP Installation Screen. From there it tells me 'Setup will complete in 39 minutes'. Although the information screen to the right does change ( Try the Easiest Windows Yet, Stay up to Date, Your computer will be faster and more reliable), the countdown remains at 39 minutes and freezes. I used a Windows XP Service Pack 2 Professional disk. My Computer has Service Pack Three. I've read somewhere that if you have Service Pack 3 on your computer you cannot do a repair install with Service Pack 2. I have an error code from the Setuperr.log: Error: Setup had problems registering the following OLE control DLL: C:\WINDOWS\system32\initpki.dll Contact your system administrator

Advertisement its_all_bad Thread Starter Joined: Oct 3, 2004 Messages: 3 My computer recently crashed; I didn't pay attention to the first message because, like most people, I'm constantly getting an error message of some type so I didn't pay much attention to this one - until the screen requested the installation CD to be run. When I did that, setup began, running through the initial processes until the "installing windows" segment - when I received the following message: error setup Fatal Error: An error has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing. Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup log files should contain more information. Press OK to view the setup log file. Pressing OK, I read: Error: The signature for Windows XP Home Edition upgrade is invalid. The error code is fffffdda. The system cannot find message text for message number 0xfffffdda in the message file for syssetup.dll. Fatal Error: Setup failed error setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup log files should contain more information. Error: (same as above) Fatal Error: (same as above) Fatal Error: One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed. The operation was cancelled by the user. Fatal Error: (same as immediately above) The error and fatal error messages then return to the initial two messages listed above - repeated several times. Pressing OK restarts the system and the process happens all over again. I do have a valid copy of WinNT which was preinstalled on my computer, so I'm not sure why the first message is saying it's invalid. I'm currently on my old PC, but I can switch back as needed. Any information/guidance/advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Once I did that, I made it to a blue screen that seems
