Cannot install windows service pack 3 (KB936929). I get an 0x87FF054F error code.
I tried several times without success. I even tried tech support, they were not useful. I tried disabling firewall, updates of Sony Vaio download (I have the OEM version) nothing works. Any ideas out there? I have Windows XP 32-bit.

Original title: problem after installing Windows Service Pack 3 on Windows XP Home Media edition pc
My pc runs Windows XP Home Media edition. I installed Windows Service Pack 3 successfully, or so I thought. Whenever I turn on my pc a box opens indicating "files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions." To maintain the stability of the system. Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Install your Windows XP Professional CD2. I don't have any Windows XP Professional CD that I use the Home Media Edition. If I press Cancel repeatedly, the window disappears to return with the same information, but ask me to install Windows XP Professional CD3. How can I stop this happening?
Hello
Step 1: I suggest you perform the SFC scan on the computer and check.

2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

Cannot install Vista Service Pack 2 (or closer to Windows 7)
Intel Core 2 Due CPU 8400 @ 3.00 GHZ w 2 GB RAM running (Windows Home Premium 64-bit). Service Pack 1 is installed.
Buy windows 7... tried last month upgrading Vista however the updater doesn't install not service pack 2. (KB948465). kept trying to install it but would get to the end and fail, and then seeks to restore to the previous version and I would then have to start in safe mode.Spent the last day trawl through all instances and followed each piece of advice out there, but still no joy.Manually install the update for Windows (KB947821). Uninstalled all antivirus & anti-spyware (AVG & Norton were both running). Ran System File Checker & Windows Install CleanUp and say that everything is OK.Each reboot the computer in order to start the installation it restarts. must select Safe mode with network... so going directly in "installation of the Service Pack: stage 3 of 3" arrives at 100% complete but then message comes up saying "Service pack do not have. '" Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. "Then"Configuring updates"and then to the normal login screen. When I connect and go update history it reads "Windows Vista Service Pace 2 for x 64-based systems (KB948465).» Details of the error 8007043 C Code.I then followed the instructions to install from the original DVD however after several hours I finally managed: 'the upgrade has failed. your previous version of WIndows is being restored. Do not restart your computer during this time. »Looking around and we found a lot of people with this issue but no solutions. Don't know what I can do now?Any help is greatly appreciated!
Best,Tom
Uninstalled all antivirus & anti-spyware (AVG & Norton were both running).I just noticed the above your first post. You had AVG and installed NAV and loading at startup? What were you doing thought? Not surprising that SP2 or Win7 upgrade would not install!
You must have an installed AV 1 and loading at startup. Chances are that AVG or Norton worked properly.
You have 2 choices:
1. back up your personal data (of which none should be considered reliable) and then format the HARD drive and do a clean install of Vista. or...
2. make a "custom (Advanced) installation" of Win7 and then delete %system%\Windows.old <=this>=this> . Do not even think to transfer the data from Vista to Win7. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft
