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

You can try installing it in Safe Mode. Not the conventional way but
my hunch is some application is tripping up the installation.

You receive a "Control ID not found" error message when you try to install
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;878472

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP
installation or you repair a Windows XP installation
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

Open a notepad and copy and paste the following into it and save as
update.bat on your desktop. Double click the bat file to excute and click
[Yes to register the dlls and reboot your machine and see if that will help!

regsvr32 wuweb.dll
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll


Or try this fix.
