You could try the following workarounds for this error:
1. Check the MDAC versions present following the instructions in this KB
article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q307255

2. Backup the registry, then delete the following key if it is present:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Exception
Components

You may need to restore the key after SP3 installation completes. The key
may indicate a previous MDAC installation either did not complete
successfully or was partially rolled back.

3. Look for setup diagnostic information in a file dasetup.log. If you still
have problems, could you send us the logs: dasetup.log & dahotfix.log?

4. Try executing the MDAC setup manually, then redoing the SP3 setup.
Execute the file x86/other/sqlredis.exe in the extraction folders created by
the Database Components SP3 download.

5. Try installing SP3 manually, then later installing the MDAC components.
At the command prompt, go to the folder x86/setup in the extraction folders
created by the Database Components SP3 download. For Standard or Enterprise
Edition, run:

setupsql k=dbg

This will cause setup to pause and request confirmation before installing
various components. Instruct setup to skip the MDAC installation, but
install all other components. After setup completes, install MDAC from:
