Guest FlyingFish Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Good morning. I'm not sure if I am posting my question under the correct caption. If I am in the wrong place, please let me know and I will repost. I’ve tried on several occasions to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929). I keep getting an error, “Control ID not found.” Could you please tell me what I need to do so that the installation will work. Thanks
