Re: Install Issue w/ XP SP3 RTM



Thanks for the information. I looked and there is no $NtServicePackUninstall$
folder. This is probaly my main problem, there is no uninstall location or
data to fall back to. I looked at the article that Mark suggested and none of
the options would help either. Any further thoughts would be appreciated. I
may have shot my self in the foot about a month ago when I ran some clean up
software on the system. It appears to have done too good a job.

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
