5. “You do not have enough free disk space on %SystemDrive% to install Service Pack 3”
KB949385 is closely connected with KB949375, in the sense that they both can be fixed in the same manner, namely by freeing up the needed disk space. “Service Pack 3 Setup Error - You do not have enough free disk space on %SystemDrive% to install Service Pack 3,” is designed to alert the end user that XP will not deploy due to the lack of space on the installation drive.
6. Intel processor-based Apple computers can also run “Out of Disk Space”
it’s not only PCs that are affected by insufficient disk space problems, but also Apple Mac machines. According to Microsoft, Mac Pro, Mac Mini, MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and iMac computers with Intel processors running XP SP2 may spit of the “Out of Disk Space” error message when the user will attempt to install Service Pack 3. “This problem occurs because a critical registry key (BootDir) is missing. This registry key is not created when Windows XP SP2 is installed by using Boot Camp on the Apple computers,” the Redmond company informed via KB950716. “Apple has released an update to Boot Camp [version 2.1]. This update addresses issues and improves compatibility with Windows XP and with Windows Vista when these products are running on an Apple computer that uses Boot Camp.
7. Setup has detected that another update is in progress
The “Setup has detected that another update is in progress. Please complete that installation or removal and try again” error message will be generated if Service Pack 3 for XP is installed concomitantly with Automatic Updates running the Update.exe file. “The Update.exe file runs the Windows XP SP3 installation. The Update.exe file does not let multiple instances of itself to run at the same time on the same computer. Most of the security updates and service packs that are released by Microsoft run the Update.exe file,” the company explained in KB949381.
8. “Service Pack 3 installation did not complete” and “An internal error occurred”
“Service Pack 3 installation did not complete” is just a part of the error message produced by unsuccessful installations of Windows XP. Clicking OK will inform the end user that “an internal error occurred.” This issue is also connected with a faulty registry. “The errors can occur because of files that are not trusted or because of corrupted registry keys. You can verify the cause by searching for related entries in the Svcpack.log file,” Microsoft explained in KB949384.
9. 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: 0×80246007.
“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,” Microsoft explained in KB949386.
