SQL Server Express 2005 SP3 install fails many times

I have had automatic and custom install of Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005
SP3 fail on at least 5 occasions, throwing Error Code: 0x663.

I found one other post here but no answer. This should not be such a
difficult issue. What is the solution?

My computer is XP SP3.
I also have SQL 2005 Developer edition on this box.
