I have a clean install of XP Home. SP2 is one it. When I tried to put on SP3 I get a message:
Error Signature
Event type: visualstudio8setup P1: 10860 followed by P2 thru 10.
Without SP3 none of the anti virus programs will go on.
They sit in my downloads file and will not open. Those that do open tell me I need SP3.
Seems that the item labeled Net Framework 3 was not that. In the process of trying to install it, there appeared in the Program List an item labeled KB942288 Hotfix. So I did a search and it seems to be an installer and not the SP 3. So then I found that SP3, downloaded it and it did go on. I'm elated. Thanks, I copied and saved your instruction for any future need.
