Since Vista SP2 came out I have been trying to update, unsuccessfully. I always go through the whole installation process, the system reboots, says it is in Step 3 of 3 and aborts with a message similar to "Service pack did not install. Reverting changes." and then presents me with my login/password to enter.
I have geniune Win Vista Home Premium x64 SP1 in a Gateway P-7811FX PC.
I have done most of what is mentioned in this link: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistasp/thread/f7fb0ace-eedb-483a-8614-f7c2cbca6ccf
My latest system error log shows:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070002: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 for x64-based Systems (KB948465).

Short of reinstalling the whole thing, does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
