Error Windows XP SP3 : Windows Update Failed Installations
Microsoft continuously advices end users to turn to Windows Update as the preferred way to upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 3. The WU infrastructure is designed to serve specific Windows operating systems with the exact updates tailored to them, rather than with generic downloads. But this is not a guarantee that the introduction of XP SP3 will go smooth always. Case in point: failed installations that generate the following error code in the logs: 0x80246007.
"This issue may occur if one of the following conditions is true: the Windows – SoftwareDistribution - Download folder was deleted after the Windows XP SP3 download operation was completed. System files were changed after Windows XP SP3 was downloaded but before the service pack was installed"

A mi me pasa que cuando quiero instalar el sp3 que me aparecio solo en el icono de actualizaciones, en la barra al lado del reloj, me lo comienza a instalar y cuando anda por el 20 o 30% me dice que falta la carpeta Drivers.
asi que veremos que sucede….
