Errors with SP4 upgrade... Please Help

I am having problems accessing DTS after install SP4 and was wondering
if someone could offer some advice.

I installed SP4 and got the following error after it competed.

Unable to write to response file 'U:\WINDOWS\set up.iss' during
recording. Please ensure enough space is available on target drive.

I got the error 3 times (3 pop-ups).
After the install I could not access DTS. I was getting 2 error
pop-ups.
1. 'rebbrui.rll is missing'
2. Snap-In failed to initialize: Meta Data Services

I read the groups and tried several things.

I tried to reinstall MDAC and it did not help.

I tried to register several dlls and it did not help.

I found this post and it seemed to help.
Repair Script:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Data..._21445589.html

I was then able to access DTS using the profile (which is an
administrator) which
I used to install SP4 and run the above repair script. However, no
other profile can open or run DTS.

I tried running the repair script under the other profiles and it did
not help.

I was receiving 2 errors for the other profiles. I only documented one
and I am no longer getting the other. Now it just goes to a white
screen and hangs.

1st error:
DTS Designer Error
The specified module could not be found.

2nd error:
?????

I tried reinstalling client tools and SP4 and it did not help. Now I
get one additional error.

Before I can expand the server node in enterprise manager I get the
following error.
Snap-in failed to initialize
Name: Meta Data Services
CLSID: {1DBA4DD4-EB97-4FD2-AB80-9D0D4BA74034}

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I might fix this?

I am running SQL Server 2000 Enterprise on Windows 2000 Server with 4
GB RAM.

I did notices that someone has set the /3GB switch. I know this is not
supported on this OS but it was not causing major problems before the
upgrade. Could it be the culprit?

Finally got this fixed. It was a real pain!

The registry on this server looked all hacked up to me. It looks like
many of the keys referenced U:/ instead of C:/

Some of the necessary dlls were pointing to U: also.

I had to manually uninstall SQL Server. Then reinstall. Then uninstall
via add remove programs. Then I did another uninstall/reinstall
(because i got a few errors).

I reinstalled, upgraded to sp4, stopped the service, swapped my master,
msdb, tempdb with the originals and everything is working great.

According to the information on the Microsoft web site, code written in VB.NET 2002 can simply be recompiled using VS.NET 2003. However, I have found that code which compiles cleanly in VS.Net 2002 gets new compile errors in VS 2003. It appears that there are new scope rules in VB.NET 2003. I get "Name not declared" errors on public functions in public modules. The errors are fixed by wrapping the module in a name space and then...

Hello, we are preparing for an upgrade to SQL 2005 and as a result of this I became aware that the compatibility level of one of our databases was set to level 65 (current SQL server is SQL 2000 SP4).

When I upgrade the level however, some of our ASP pages throw the following error: ADODB.Recordset error...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
