From: TreverSlyFox on
I'm trying to update Windows XP Pro Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.
080814-1233: Service Pack 2) from a purchased Microsoft CD of SP3 (Internet
connection to slow for downloads). Everything backs up fine and then goes to
the Install phase. About 2 minutes into the Install at the Registry part
everything stops and the error message says "Service Pack 3 Setup canceled."

The svcpack log file is very big so I'll only post a part of it where things
start to fail.

Hope this helps because I'm at a loss about what to do.

Anyone have any ideas?
