The reason behind this problem is that the update package installs retail bits on retail builds and checked bits on checked builds. But you can spoof Windows updates in order to install retail bits on checked builds and vice versa.

If you are also facing the same problem, then follow these simple steps and your problem should be solved:

1. Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

2. In right-side pane look for a String value “CurrentType”. Change its value to Checked and if its already set to Checked, then set it to Free and click on OK.

3. Exit registry editor and try to install SP3 again. Now it should install without any problem.

Hi, I’ve downloaded the SP3 but it will not allow me to install. After extraction It gives an error message: “Service Pack 3 Setup cannot update a checked (debug) system with a free (retail) version of Service Pack 3, or vice versa.”

I have no idea man, as I do not use MSN explorer and maybe its something to do with your ISP try calling them and talking to them with this problem. Others might have done it already so you are most likely to get a solution for your problems.

****A Rule of Thumb: turn off all your antivirus and antispy when you install any service packs. And SP3 is really nice makes the OS much stable.

I’ve tried to download XP SP3 three times, it gets about 2/3 to 3/4 done and my Spysweeper alert and a window saying access denied pops up, then I’m asked to uninstall the SP3. I also, can no longer access my hotmail from the MSN page while using Mozilla Firefox, but I can if I use Internet Explorer. Do I need to turn my Spysweeper off?

After windows xp sp3 download unabe to access msn explorer. No problems before download. “Not able to sign you in. May be a problem with our service or your internet connection. Please try later.”
