Re: Microsoft Win XP SP3 RC2 Publicly Available

Cool cryptic error message when trying to install SP3 via microsoft update:"An internal error occured" and "Error Code: 0x87FF054F".

Found what Microsoft sayes about that and did what they claim would help. Well, it didnt. Very nice.

Hopefully they fix this before actual release comes out.

1st Error Message
2nd Error Message

I had a similar experience when I tried to use "Add or Remove Programs" . . .

What file is the error message referring to?

Can anyone point me in the direction of what to do in this circumstance?

And before anyone suggests to use System Restore to "go back" to a point before SP3 was installed . . . I can't. That restore point was deleted due to a earlier system problem.

Nice. I got information saying that this error occurs when product key is invalid (pirated). Well, guess what? Mine isnt. And I still get the error message. Havent tryed with my Finnish version OS yet, but atleast this english version gives that error.

I recall that I had similiar problems when I installing SP2 when it came out. Had to figure out some tweaks to get past it to make it work.

But, for now, if you have any tips on how to solve this issue, I would be very gratefull. Otherwise Im just going to wait a while to see that either:
A) Microsoft fixes this in SP3 general release OR
B) Some hacker hacks this whole product key stuff related to SP3 install and then I install SP3 regardless of my product key being "bad".

I dont really and honestly care anymore which one happens first. Im so fed up with these MS updates not working and not installing that any hack to get them actually working is welcome.
