Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008SP3 Issues
Morning, After applying SP3 to a fresh install of XP Pro SP2 Microsoft update no longer worked correctly. The updates download and try to install but fail. I found the problem discribed on a tech net forum. It existed in SP3 RC3. Microsoft says they corrected the issue. i assure you they did not. The SP3 RC3 fix still works. Once you do the following all is well again. regsvr32 wups2.dll This is no good.

Wish me luck ;-) Alias >>> Morning, >>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >> Alias stosti expressed precisely : > Windows updates > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >> Alias Downloaded the full install exe (316MB)file from here:http://www.ghacks.net/2008/04/28/official-windows-xp-service-pack-3-download-links/ (still on dialup so it took approx 22 hours to complete) but I'd rather get it that way then going the update service route and have to disable my protection while I'm on line for that long period of time and have something go wrong doing the install process and have my system get all screwed up. Closed all running processess as instructed and installed. The install went flawlessly. I haven't notice any changes since the install. I then went to MS Update Service and after the normal scanning process, there were no updates shown to download, so the install appears to have been completed successfully - thank goodness :-)  SignatureZo "This is the model home for your future.

From what I read on the web this is the third version of SP3. I'm not going to try it again until June... I don't remember there being a SP issue in a long time. i hope this is not the beginning of a trend. > No problem here > > Morning, [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Regards, > > Scott > Interesting...

RC3 (if you call that the 3rd) is the 3rd release of the BETA, but SP3 final that was supposed to be for the public is the only release. SP3 #5511 was never changed after it was released, just held up for a week. Updates to the program that it screwed up were issued but SP3 final is SP3 final. I did a reload and update using the standalone .exe SP3 file. No update issues. Windows Defender downloads updates almost daily. The issue is operating system files not defender or office. IE 7.0 and a couple of updates would not run. Look it up at TechNet. Search on "Windows Update fails after installing SP3 (regsvr32 wups2.dll)". > > Interesting...

Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye. I did IE7 after my SP3 so I guess I made it through okay.

It's brainless and when you install XP from scratch, it'll already be at SP3 level, no worries, no crazy messages. - Thee Chicago Wolf Use the free MS support for SP3 issues: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-us&prid=11273&gprid=522131 > Morning, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Regards, > Scott > After applying SP3 to a fresh install of XP Pro SP2 Microsoft > update no longer worked correctly.

It is unlikely SP3 will go through any further changes. It has been released - that's pretty much it. I have not seen this issue on any of the couple of hundred machines I installed upon - however - I have answered the question here a couple dozen times. Sometimes the end user has to perform the entire KB article you are actually referencing without doing so.

Shenan - FYI, as soon as I registered the wups2.dll file, updates began installing again! thanx for helping me out on this.
