Hi, I have a two tier SharePoint 2010 (one server is application and the other is the SQL Server). I was able to install SharePoint with SP1 but when I am in the Products Configuration Wizard it fails on step 6 (or is it step 5?) of the process, failed to register SharePoint services. Please help, I have been working a long time on this and have found no help anywhere and everything I have checked has not led me to a solution. I have tried restarting the servers, IIS, uninstalling SharePoint and reinstalling everything but still the same problem. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
