BOOT PRIORITY! None of the fixes anywhere helped me with this, until I came across what I thought was the most useless answer in the world online. Basically, they said because the HD they were trying to install one wasn't listed first in the boot priority list in their BIOS, it wouldn't install. I did not believe this could be my issue, but in fact it was.

For those who don't use endnote, try to run regedit and change the following (e.g. change word to word_old):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word

HKEY_LOKAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word

HKEY_LOKAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word

It worked perfectly for me until I realised that this somehow overwrote my Endnote Cite while you Write. Once I reinstalled Cite while you Write the same problem as all of you have reoccured. Very disturbing indeed.

I have been researching this error for days and no one ESPECIALLY Microsoft will state what the heck it means or how to actually fix it, when anyone posts they got it fixed it is always after they have tried 40 or 50 things and none of them know what actually fixed it I think it is mostly luck.

In the case I am working on today for a client, the readiness tool doesn't fail but SP1 does. Stand alone version or from windows update.

Same error over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over....it's another case of a single error number being one possibility of 167 different things instead ....and since I have only tried 140 so far I sill have a bit of work ahead...

Getting real fed up with the recommendation of re-installing windows...that is NOT an answer and that does not repair the ERROR they have in the sp. If a re-install works, then the sp install should also since its pretty doggone close to a reinstall of almost everything anyway....a sp should ALWAYS install and the engineers that think it doesn't have to should no longer work on service packs.

Errors should give an indication of what really happened or it should be a different number.

Microsoft if you keep telling customers to re-install, they just might re-install OSX, Linux, or any other OS that doesn't have your name on it....
