can't install service pack 3

roro · Guest

hi - i'm a newbie with a question.
I want to install Internet Explorer 7 and I think that I first have to install
service pack 3. I'm unable to install this and get this message:
"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id+Oxe60 (3680) Thread id+Ox12c(300)
Can anyone help me?
thanks a lot,
roro

You do not need to install WinXP SP3 or any other SP3 to install IE7.

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

[And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. Make *certain* that you
check in at Windows Update immediately after installing IE7 and install any
critical updates offered. If Optional Updates category offers Root
Certificates update, I recommend installing it to take full advantage of
IE7's additional security.]
