I'm attempting to install the Network Install of XPSP2 (downloaded directly from MSFT's website, so no chance of fake installs) onto an XPSP1 system (completely up to date with hotfixes/patches, Office XPSP3, McAfee VirusScan 8i (RC)).
It gets as far as finishing backing up files and attempts to create a system restore point (even though I've disabled system restore) and proceeds to crap out installing.
"Unable to read from or write to the database"
Anyone else seen this problem? I really don't want to turn System Restore back on, as I'm planning on rolling out the install to about a hundred workstations - all of which have system restore turned off and that's not an acceptable solution.
Thanks
