Determine the Cause of Hanging Process and Errors

The procedure that we finished one unresponsive process is forced, every administrator known: In Task Manager, click on it to its context menu item End Process or suppressed in the process labeled <Del>. However, sometimes the cause of research is more productive: Wait for the completion of the process as a thread or network activity results, it often makes sense to put this here and doctoring. So you can quit the program, which may still be clean with its data stored.

Service Pack 1: Installation fails with error 0x80070050 (The file is available)

Sometimes fails to install Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 on 7/Windows with the error or one of the blue screen errors. The file exists (what and why that's a problem, we learn in the old tradition, but not Microsoft). The detailed error description is ERROR_FILE_EXISTS (0x80070050).

The delay is annoying: First, the installation gets to the point at which the computer must be restarted. Then run to configure the updates almost to the end - over 80%, sometimes up to 99%. Only then does the problem and any changes will be taken back, which still takes twice as long, but at least it runs smoothly. After another restart the computer without a service pack is ready again and displays the error message.

Solution: In all the systems on which the error occurred here in the test - it was invariably to Windows Server 2008 R2 - to let the service pack install finally, after additional language files have been removed. As experiments, which had hindered or whatever number of extra language packages specifically for the SP1 installation, very time consuming, it is advisable to remove all language files that do not meet the original installation language. Later they can add it back - a process that lasts very long, but takes far less time consuming than if you risk another failed SP1 installation. It should be noted that for Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 and the corresponding new DVD with the updated language packs for Service Pack 1 is required.
