The Instalation is timing out, with the errors:-

A service control operation failed for the MSQLSERVER service 1460. This operation returned because of the time out period expired.

An error occured starting the service to build the system catalogues.

I have pasted the final contents of the sqlsp.log below:-

09:56:09 C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.CAR\LOCALS~1\Temp\SqlSetup\Bin\scm.exe -Silent 1 -Action 6 -Service MSSQLSERVER

10:26:22 Process Exit Code: (1460) This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

10:28:12 A service control operation failed for the MSSQLSERVER service: 1460

Thank You in advance for your Help.

Are you applying it locally?
Have you got suitable permissions to do the upgrade?

Also, if your machine has AWE enabled, don't install SP4 yet.
