Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) installation: "Access Denied" error

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">If you are getting "Access Denied" error during installation of Service Pack 3 (standalone update for Windows XP) it’s probably caused by some kind of permission conflict. To fix this problem, try to close all applications (processes) running on your computer that could potentially protect the system. Applications, such as antivirus, spyware protection tools or any other kind of processes that are keeping the system safe, can limit access to parts of windows registry needed for service pack installation.
