Diego,

See if this MSKB article helps:

Error message when you try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3: "Access is denied" or “Service Pack installation did not complete”
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377

Rather the resetting the Permissions suggest you pinpoint where the Access Denied error is stemming from. Have you checked the svcpack.log, located in WINDOWS ?

MS offers free support for issues associated with the application of SP3: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-us&prid=11273

At the top right next to United States, click the Change link and set the country to Italy.

I've got Access Denied error when I've tried to update my XP Home Edition SP2 to SP3 because of the installation program cannot modify the registry. The installation stopped with that error after 60% progress. Do you know if the Microsoft tool (subinacl.exe and reset.cmd) does work on XP Home Edition too? It seems to me (reading the Microsoft instructions) that it works on XP Professional only. Is that true? Somebody tried that way on XP Home Edition? And what can you say to me about the secedit.exe file, present in the last line of reset.cmd script but not existing in XP Home Edition? Can the reset.cmd work fine without secedit.exe file too? Help me please. Thaks in advance.
