I have a Security Update for SP4 sitting on my computer wanting to install,
but it cannot, because I only have SP2. I've tried installing SP3 several
times, but keep getting that pesky 0x8007F0F4 error code. I've looked
through other discussion threads and tried to install and uninstall
everything recommended, but still no luck. When I tried to remove Microsoft
Shared Computer Toolkit, I got this error message:
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required
for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personal
or package vendor.
So.... suggestions? Thanks so much!! |

Windows XP Service Pack 3 installation fails with an error message, and the
following error is logged in the service pack installation log: "8007F0F4 -
STATUS_PREREQUISITE_FAILED":

Possible fix for the error you encountered when attempting to uninstall
Shared Computer Toolkit (AKA SteadyState):
LINK
Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
