Errors with SP4 upgrade... Please Help

I am having problems accessing DTS after install SP4 and was wondering
if someone could offer some advice.

I installed SP4 and got the following error after it competed.

Unable to write to response file 'U:\WINDOWS\setup.iss' during
recording. Please ensure enough space is available on target drive.

I got the error 3 times (3 pop-ups).

After the install I could not access DTS. I was getting 2 error
pop-ups.
1. 'rebbrui.rll is missing'
2. Snap-In failed to initialize: Meta Data Services

I read the groups and tried several things.

I tried to reinstall MDAC and it did not help.

I tried to register several dlls and it did not help.

I found this post and it seemed to help.
Repair Script:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Dat...Q_21445589.html

I was then able to access DTS using the profile (which is an
administrator) which
I used to install SP4 and run the above repair script. However, no
other profile can open or run DTS.

I tried running the repair script under the other profiles and it did
not help.

I was receiving 2 errors for the other profiles. I only documented one
and I am no longer getting the other. Now it just goes to a white
screen and hangs.

1st error:
DTS Designer Error
The specified module could not be found.

2nd error:
???

I tried reinstalling client tools and SP4 and it did not help. Now I
get one additional error.

Before I can expand the server node in enterprise manager I get the
following error.
Snap-in failed to initialize
Name: Meta Data Services
CLSID: {1DBA4DD4-EB97-4FD2-AB80-9D0D4BA74034}

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I might fix this?

I am running SQL Server 2000 Enterprise on Windows 2000 Server with 4
GB RAM.

I did notices that someone has set the /3GB switch. I know this is not
supported on this OS but it was not causing major problems before the
upgrade. Could it be the culprit?Finally got this fixed. It was a real pain!

The registry on this server looked all hacked up to me. It looks like
many of the keys referenced U:/ instead of C:/

Some of the necessary dlls were pointing to U: also.

I had to manually uninstall SQL Server. Then reinstall. Then uninstall
via add remove programs. Then I did another uninstall/reinstall
(because i got a few errors).

I reinstalled, upgraded to sp4, stopped the service, swapped my master,
msdb, tempdb with the originals and everything is working great.

Errors while running SQLH2 Tool

I am recieving following errors while running SQLH2
can you advice how can i resolve them
Errors:
1.InvalidOperationException Cannot read log entry number 4243737.
2.NullReferenceException Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.
3.Event Log There is no gap in history, but the
previous last event
is out of bounds
What version of SQLH2 are you running? I hope it's updated version
(2.0.024).
1. Quote from SQLH2 V2 Deployment Guide
Cannot read log entry number ###.
This error usually indicates that the event log on the target machine is
corrupted. It's easy to verify using Event Viewer - try to open the
suspected event log and check if you can read events from it (sometimes
Event Viewer is able to show the list of events, but an actual attempt to
read some events fails).
I would need more inofmation regarding the other two.
Please send a mail to SQLH2@.microsoft.com
(with your H2log.txt attached).
Thanks
