WHY does SP3 update fail
so much from MS Update site?


Because you need IE8 or newer. For you are running IE6 sp1 with a
clean install.

No.... you do NOT need IE8 to update to SP3 or to get updates via
Windows or Microsoft Update. If you have XP Gold or SP1, you have
IE6 SP1 and cannot access Windows Update.... but if you have XP SP2
or SP3, you have at least IE6 SP2. Formerly there was a problem
accessing Windows Update with IE6 SP2 but apparently this is no
longer the case and you can update using IE6 SP2.... I don't have IE6
installed anywhere to confirm this. You can also access Windows
Update with IE7. There is no requirement for IE8 whatsoever.


He running IE6sp1 on a XPsp3,
I requirement a latest software........
for that OS


When you install SP3 in Windows XP, it includes SP3 of Internet Explorer
unless you already have IE7 or IE8 installed..... so how would he have
IE6 SP1 installed on XP SP3?


Plus MS Update need to be Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...s.aspx?id=8483

Wrong again. Windows Installer 4.5 is NOT needed to use Windows
Update or Microsoft Update, or to install XP service packs.

Need for .NET4 and up....


No... one of the system requirements for .NET Framework 4 is Windows
Installer 3.1 or higher.... Windows installer 4 is not required.
