I have an installed and running NW04 WAS at SP15 with a portal installed running on Windows 2003 server/MSSQL.
When I try to apply patch 16 or 18, it fails right after specifying the central instance profile with a bizarre error that should be un-related:
ERROR 2006-08-30 17:26:46
MOS-01185 The subkey 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EraserUtilRebootDrv' does not exist on the 'localhost' host.
I have stopped the Norton firewall and Virus protection and I still get this error.
I installed this originally from SR1 and have upgraded successfully in the past from SP9 to SP12-->SP15.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Andrew
