Patch SP4 hanging

SP4 installation hangs. I used windows login to do the patch, a message
saying that it is not a valid user. I selected "retry" then used "sa". It
started hanging when "...MDAC" message disappeared.
I checked c:\winnt\sqlsp.log file. It is different from the files on the
other normal patched servers.
The last 2 lines in the file are:
End: Installpkgs(ID_INSTALLMDAC)
**** Starting open OP in write mode ****
What is the cause? How to fix it?
Hi Julia
You may want to try using the MDAC component checker to see if you have a
consistent installation of MDAC and possibly loading MDAC MDAC 2.8 SP1 if on
Windows 2000 or MDAC 2.8 SP2 if on XP/Windows 2003 before installing the
service pack.
