If you’ve installed Visual Studio 2008 on an x64 Windows Computer you may getting into trouble trying to install Service Pack 1. First of all you will get an error message (Error 1324) which will tell you that Program Files contains an invalid character. After the installation finished you can access the log file. (shown below)

In there select the link (marked yellow).
