Windows XP SP3 failed to install, contacting microsoft the gave me instructions on how to register certain dll files and all but 1 registered. Wuauserv.dll didn't register and gave the message Wuauserv.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered. SP3 is still not installed and 2 other updates KB946648 & KB952287 also fail to install giving Error Code: 0x8007F0ED Any Ideas |

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed WinXP SP3?
If ZoneAlarm isn't installed, what is every installed?

I am using Norton Internet Security 2008 but I have tried installing SP3 with this completely uninstalled and the computer booted into safe mode.

First you said WinXP SP3 failed to install then you say that you'd installed SP3 and the machine then booted into Safe Mode (which is another issue altogether; cf. LINK).
Is WinXP SP3 currently installed or not? If not, did you uninstall it?
Have you read LINK ?
By any chance did you reinstall WinXP just before you installed (or attempted to install) WinXP SP3? -- ~PA Bear

Pa Bear,
With AV off and Windows/Download folder reset, I'm having the same SP# installation issue - it fails toward end of process with Error Code: 0x8007F070 or Error Code: 0x80246007.
I HAVE recently reinstalled/repaired XP Media Center 2005 from a Dell OEM disc and saw that you specifically asked about that. Is there a known problem with installing SP3 after that?
NOTE: I did have to perform several steps to get my PC running correctly after the reinstall/repair (mostly involving .NET). I could not get "Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.0 Service Pack 3 (KB930494)" to install, but determined that was because my base started at Version 1.1 after the reinstall/repair. -- Thanks, cabenjam ~Not an expert, but not a newbie...

What a mess.
Is NIS 2008 still uninstalled? (I'd doubt it, else you wouldn't have been able to use System Restore.)
If so, what anti-virus application did you install to replace NAV, and is the Windows Firewall now enabled?
Is/was your NIS 2008 subscription current? -- ~PA Bear

I recently used system restore to go back to early june before any SP3 installation were attempted and the SP3 file was no longer in add or remove programmes
I did not reinstall WinXP just before I attempted to install WinXP SP3? But the original hard drive became corrupt so i had to reinstall windows on another hard drive this was a while ago (probably at least 2 years).
I have looked at the link and KB952287, KB946648 also don't install

No when NIS 2008 was uninstalled and the SP3 installation didn't work I reinstalled NIS 2008 (at no time was i connected to the internet without firewall. Windows firewall was on when NIS 2008 was uninstalled just to be safe) Windows Firewall is not now enabled as its back to NIS 2008. The NIS 2008 subscription is current and up to date. MY latest email from microsoft said to 1) Try to register the windows updates files again and try windows updates. Regsvr32 Wuweb.dll Regsvr32 Wuapi.dll Regsvr32 Wuaueng1.dll Regsvr32 Wuaueng.dll Regsvr32 Wuauserv.dll Regsvr32 Wucltui.dll Regsvr32 Wups2.dll Regsvr32 Wups.dll regsvr32 MSXML3.dll regsvr32 softpub.dll regsvr32 wintrust.dll regsvr32 jscript.dll regsvr32 vbscript.dll 2) If it fails,perform a REPAIR INSTALLATION on the computer.
Step 1 all registered except Wuauserv.dll
Step 2 How do I perform a REPAIR INSTALLATION would it involve going through the steps in KB917964 and and I have 2 disc would it be Compaq operating systemCD or Compaq restore CD

In control panel add or remove programmes there was an entry for SP3 but the only option was to remove it (How was this in there when it hadn't been properly installed? unless it is installing but just not getting registered due to the Wuauserv.dll file problem!)
I recently used system restore to go back to early june before any SP3 installation were attempted and the SP3 file was no longer in add or remove programmes
I did not reinstall WinXP just before I attempted to install WinXP SP3? But the original hard drive became corrupt so i had to reinstall windows on another hard drive this was a while ago (probably at least 2 years).
I have looked at the link and KB952287, KB946648 also don't install

First you said WinXP SP3 failed to install then you say that you'd installed SP3 and the machine then booted into Safe Mode (which is another issue altogether; cf. LINK).
Is WinXP SP3 currently installed or not? If not, did you uninstall it?
Have you read LINK ?
By any chance did you reinstall WinXP just before you installed (or attempted to install) WinXP SP3? -- ~PA Bear

Wuauserv.dll didn't register and gave the message Wuauserv.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered. SP3 is still not installed and 2 other updates KB946648 & KB952287 also fail to install giving Error Code: 0x8007F0ED Any Ideas |
