I faced this problem but i installed it by changing few Registry entry.It changes your version from sp3 to sp2 without any change in system file.You can change it back to sp3 without facing any problem.

Go to registry editor(backup first)
Step 1: Run Regedit by Clicking on Start -> Run , type in regedit and press enter
Step 2: Make a backup of your registry (just in case)
Step 3: Browse to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Windows"
Step 4: Modify the value of "CSDVersion" from "0x00000300" (SP3) to the Windows XP SP2 value of "0x00000200"
Step 5: Close registry editor
Step 6: Reboot

Install the drivers and then reboot.

To change SP2 to SP3 do all the stepsfrom 1to 3 and in 4 change the value of CSD VERSION from "0x00000200" to "0x00000300".(Number 2 and 3 determine SP2 and SP3 respectively).

I did the same thing for GTA 4.
