Re: Install Issue w/ XP SP3 RTM

Open Explorer > Windows and see if one of the folders islisted as
\$NtServicePackUninstall$ - there should be an uninstall program in that
folder or maybe spuninst.exe

I currently have Service Pack 3. v.3311 installed. I beleive this is RC2
that was available. I downloaded SP3 RTM today and went to install.
Install
package extracts and checks current configuration. I get a error message
that
the RTM version can not install until current version of SP3 is unstalled.
Here is where the problem comes in , Windows XP SP3 does not show up under
add remove programs. I need a sugestion on how to uninstall current
version
of SP3.

Current configuration

XP Home
Version 2002
Service Pac 3. v.3311
