Windows Service Pack Setup has encountered a problem

I am trying to install SP3 and IE 7. I always get the error, Windows Service
Pack Setup has encountered a problem. The appname is update.exe. The
modname is setupap.dll. I think I have tried all solutions on this board and
on google. Nothing ever changes the problem. I have tried updating through
Windows Update as well as downloading the the files. The error always occurs
at the end of the Backup part of the SP3 update.

Please help!

Are you saying you get the same error when trying to install Internet
Explorer 7 as you do when you try to install Windows XP SP3?

Or do you think Internet Explorer is part of Windows XP Service Pack 3?

Or are you utilizing Internet Explorer 7 and just wanted to throw that in
the problem explanation?

- What specific Windows XP OS are you running (Home? Professional? Media
Center? etc?) and what service pack level is it currently?
- Can you get other updates successfully?

Some SP3 basics...

A place to get FREE support for SP3 installation issues *from Microsoft*...

WinXP SP3 - Read all prerequisites for a successful installation
http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron...tallation.aspx

Steps to take before you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950717

Suggestions:

1) Download the full SP3 installation file and/or burn the ISO download
to CD.
2) Ensure (as well as plausible) you have no spyware/malware by
doing a full scan with SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes.
3) CHKDSK
4) Defragment
5) Ensure your hardware drivers are up to date (from the hardware
manufacturer's respective web pages.)
6) Reboot right before you try to install SP3.
7) Disconnect from the internet before installing (physically.)
8) Disable your antivirus and antispyware applications when you
are about to install SP3.

Some (if not all) of that is covered in the above links.

I am using IE6. I get the same error whether trying to update to SP3 via
Windows Update or CD or trying to update to IE7. I am using XP Home Premium
SP2. I can no longer get windows updates because it says I have to update to
SP3 first.

I tried your other suggestions (disconnect from internet, disable antivirus,
etc) but the same error occured. No matter what I try, the exact same error
occurs as the exact same time (near the end of the Backup routine of the
update).

Try it once more - using my suggestions... When it fails, please post the
last 50 or so lines of your WindowsUpdate.log file...

To open the Windows Update Log file...
Start button --> RUN --> type in:
notepad %windir%\WindowsUpdate.log
--> Click OK

Copy the last 50 or so lines and post them here...

BTW - there is no such thing as Windows XP Home Premium. "Windows XP Home
Edition" is the only "Home" edition there is. Windows Vista has a "Home
Premium".

Please verify your OS - just because.

Start button --> RUN --> type in:
winver
--> Click OK.

The top picture tells you the specific OS, the line starting with "Version"
actually has the complete version - post that information here as well.

As far as I know - there are not any (or at least not many if there are any)
updates that *require* you to have Windows XP Service Pack 3 at this time.
So, if you are indeed getting a message stating this to you - please post
that message and where you get it word-for-word here as well.

Thanks!

Here is the windows update log after attempting to update to IE7. It seems
that the problem preventing the update to SP3 is also the problem preventing
the update to IE7.

Assuming the update servers aren't too busy ("Update is not allowed to
download due to regulation") and the computer is running & connected to the
internet at 3:00 AM on Monday, 22 Dec-08, the following updates will be
installed: (1) Office 2003 SP3; (2) OL Junk Email Filter; and KB907417.

The log makes no mention of WinXP SP3 or IE7.

After spending about 6 hours on this yesterday, with at least 10 attempts to
update to SP3, it appears that the below updates were made. However, SP3
still fails with the same error each time at the same place. Can you make
any other suggestions? The following is most most recent update log:
