Installing Windows Service Pack 3

[FlyingFish]

Good morning. I'm not sure if I am posting my question under the correct
caption. If I am in the wrong place, please let me know and I will repost.

I’ve tried on several occasions to install Windows XP Service Pack 3
(KB936929). I keep getting an error, “Control ID not found.â€

Could you please tell me what I need to do so that the installation will
work.

Thanks

You can try installing it in Safe Mode. Not the conventional way but
my hunch is some application is tripping up the installation.
