Error Code: 0x80070645

I am trying to fix a problem on my dell desktop, XP. I cant seem to delete a
program in the add/remove program menu. I get an error message saying the
program failed to launch. Make a long story short- was told that my Windows
SP 3 may be corrupt to reinstall it. So, I deleted it. Downloaded the .exe
from microsoft, and when I try to install get an error message saying that
the anticipated files are not there. Error Code: 0x80070645

so what do I do now?

Do I manually try to download SP1 followed by SP2 and THEN try SP 3?

thanks

Right-click on My Computer & select Properties: What WinXP version is
displayed on the resulting General tab?

What application are you attempting to uninstall via Add/Remove Programs?
