Vista
So here I am trying to install my fresh copy of Vista SP2 x64 on my system and I am coming across an error. Problem is that when you try to run the service pack install files it says that there are components missing from the install that the service pack will need to continue, well sure that “COULD” be the case if I used vLite to strip things out of Windows.
Well in short, I sort of did with my current install but all I did was put some drivers in and integrate service pack 1 into the install so everything that came with windows is still there. The problem seems to be that if you have used vLite on the install or had customized your install with vLite it creates a registry key in the system. So if you are having this error “one or more system components that the service pack requires are missing. For more information, click the link below.” all you have to do is is start regedit, navigate to this registry value below.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\vLite
Then delete the entire vLite key from the registry. When you do this it should allow for the service pack to continue to install.
