ameneses54 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Dear users:I downloaded a STANDALONE INSTALLER of WINXP SP3 whic apparantly runs fine, but when installing files at about aproximately 60% it stops and I get the message: "ACCESS DENIED" the Service pack 3 installation is not complete. Select OK to undo the changes that have been made.I''m logged in as an administrator.I have seen this issue discussed elsewhere but the solution is very technical.I'd appreciate some help.Arturo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iccaros Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 you did turn off anti-virus when installing ( I know, you would think that the only OS in the world to inflicted with a huge majority of viruses would know how to install thing with the protection on... but they don't ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cherokeechief Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) you do know that XP SP3 is not available to the public yet. it is on hold.read this link, http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/arti...ows_xp_sp3.htmlso what you are downloading is not the gold version. it might be that the rc version may have been locked from installing it or the beta version is locked because of the soon to be released version from MS.
