Re: SP3 Setup Error

I downloaded the Bootcamp 2.1 update into my XP.

Tried twice to run it but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Comments on the Apple site say it takes a while to run. I gave it 8 hours
last night.

I had the same problem. Update your Bootcamp to version 2.1. Update was
smooth afterwards.

I have some 17 GIG of free space available.

I am running XP on an iMAC & using Boot Camp.

Any suggestions appreciated.
