There's always going to be someone who can't install a patch or hotfix (or the OS, for that matter)And sometimes the patch tries to be a smartass. In my case SP2 intalled its temp-files not to my TEMP-folder, but to another drive (I guess it just took the drive with the most available diskspace). That, in my case was an iSCSI drive in a remote location I had mounted for testing. That made the installation rather slow in the beginning and crashed it completely later. Thank you for bringing us the TEMP variable, Microsoft.
Ahh, but this was an error on your end sir, M$ has always advised that patching or adding apps to the system should be done with everything closed, and in most cases users are best served to reboot and patch/add apps prior to doing anything but logging into the system. sure, most of the time many of the warnings about closing other applications and such can be ignored, but, with major patches like this, one should verge on the order of most caution.
