Instructions
Step 1
This collection of updates (Service Pack 3) is intended for installation on Windows XP. It also includes a full-fledged Russian interface. If you got an error 0x87FF54F while installing the Service Pack 3, you first need to find out the circumstances that caused this failure. Error 0x87FF54F can be triggered by many reasons. It is also worth noting that this crash behaves differently on many computers.
Step 2
To avoid problems when installing SP3, you must first of all follow certain rules that must be followed. Close all programs in use and restart your computer. Download Service Pack 3 from the corresponding page. Disable antispyware, antivirus, firewalls, and other spyware.
Step 3
Near the clock, on the panel, only the network icon, volume, language and possibly a flash card should remain. Start the “Background Inteligent Transfer Service”. You can start the service through the "Start" menu. Then click on the “Run” tab and enter the command “services.msc”.
Step 4
Find a service, click "Properties" and put a tick in the "Automatic start method" box. Run disk cleanup programs. After all the steps taken, try installing SP3 again. But in more cases, turning off antiviruses and firewalls helps. If the update package cannot be obtained through Windows Update, then you need to download the standalone update package from the Microsoft Download Center. If the installation is completed successfully, then everything is in order, and the system will not receive such errors.
