I have a XP Home PC w/ SP2 that I am trying to upgrade to SP3. When I click
on the file to begin istallation, it goes through the file copy/uncompress
stage but once file copying is done, I get an error that appears before the
Service pack 3 wizard starts. The error says something to the effect of not
being able to find the file specified. The installation then fails. Any
ideas?
