Running w2k sp4 with all the critical updates. I go into the contol panel and try and launch add/remove programs and nothing happens? Any ideas or patches to fix this?
I had exactly the same problem with my server. The advice I was given was to reinstall over the top of the existing installation. As I had installed SP3 and the install disk was without SP I didn't do it, for fear of making things worse. In the end I dumped the server. Sorry, I know it's not the answer you were hoping for, but I wasted a good few days trying to solve it, and it worked out cheaper in time and money to rebuild.
Ran into this thing some time ago. I created a local admin user and logged in using this account, launched the add/remove programs from the control panel and everything worked fine after that.
I've had the same problem a couple of times in the past month. I fixed it by reinstalling W2000 over the top i.e repairing the existing installation. My installation disc is at SP2. I then had to install SP3 separately. I've had no problems with either installation since.
