Hi
Are you aware of any issues with service pack 3 for xp? WSA seems to block this update. After disabling WSA it installs without problems.
Answer
XP Service Pack 3 problem
Best answer by browell
I did a search of our support system and haven't found any reported problems related to the upgrade. If you want us to look into it, we should open a ticket and see what logs we can get from that PC.
Oddly, I have a machine at home that needs SP3. I might give it a whirl and see if WSA interferes. Wish me luck!

How is it blocking the update?
Are you using Windows Update or do you have it downloaded and are you running it from the machine directly?

It allows it to execute and that's all. System gets frozen.
I thought that you cannot instal SP3 through Windows Update. I run it as a separate file.

I must be confused with something else then.
To be honest, never been in this situation as XP versions other then those with Service Pack 3 installed have been out of support for years.
I'll see if I can track down a XP CD with Service Pack 2 and try this out.

Sorry, all the CD's I could find have the SP3 included.
Thanks for the help guys. I don't have an access to that machina anymore so not much I can do right now. Shame that the mystery remains unsolved:)
