I tried to install SP3 on a server and got past the account validation and MDAC install, but when it started doing the
scripts(1-11) it failed on the first script(sp3_serv_uni.sql was the name i think). It came back with an error "Cannot execute sp3_serv_uni.sql", then i press OK and it throws me back to the desktop. I reboot and check the server properties and it says its SP3. Anyone know whats the problem?

Do you have admin privileges on the database server? What does the setup file show for errors?

I have had this happen a couple of times to me, as well. You can check the SPSTP.log in the Windows directory (maybe system. Not sure, now) to see if you can find any obvious errors. I usually end up re-running the setup.bat, and it goes through no problem the second time.
