[[Control ID not found
By: John Gormly
Posted On: 1/11/2005
During the install of SP2 for Windows XP, you may receive the following
error message:
Service Pack 2 Setup Error
Control ID not found
When you press OK, you receive:
Service Pack 2 Setup Error
Service Pack 2 installation did not complete.
This behavior can occur if the setup program, Update.exe, cannot open a .CAB
file because an anti-virus program locks it to scan for viruses.
To workaround this behavior:
1. Download SP2 to your local hard disk.
2. Temporarily disable the anti-virus program.
3. Install Service Pack 2.
4. After the restart, re-enable the anti-virus monitor.
NOTE: Please make sure you check the anti-virus manufacturer's web site for
an update for SP2. ]]
