Applying 2008 SP1 - "The patch installer has failed to update the shared features".

  • Applying 2008 SP1 I am seeing the upgrade fail with the message "The patch installer has failed to update the shared features".

    Looking around online I see a few other people have experienced this, but no solution has been published yet.

    Has anyone here experienced and successfully resolved this issue?

    Thank you.

  • I believe that this error was caused by a lack of disk space.

    It appears that 2008 SP1 does like quite a lot of free space to install itself, but it doesn't actually seem to check whether or not there is sufficient available before it commences installing.

  • I don't know if your still getting an error or not but i had almost the same issue, i ran the repair shared features then reapplied sp1 and it worked with no further issues.

  • Repairing the shared components and then rerunning the service pack worked for me as well

  • This same solution worked for me as well!

    Ran repair for shared features and then reran the SP upgrade.

    Thanks!
