I am also having some issues with installation of SP3 on MSDE. But i think i might know why you are getting the error message.

If you are trying to run the service pack on default installation then leave the service pack parameter as blank

eg:

Setup.exe /upgradesp SQLRUN INSTANCENAME= SECURITYMODE=SQL
UPGRADEUSER=<username> UPGRADEPWD=<password>
