error 1933 the windows installer service cannot update one or more files

[Nmarcano]

I just bought this new computer a few months ago and I'm
rather new to XP and the way it does things. The problem
is I have frontpage 98 installed on my computer works
fine, good thats not the prob, when upgrading to
frontpage 2000 it makes it back 69% of the way then hits
me with a box that says "windows file protection - insert
your windows xp professional service pack 1 cd now. My
computer didnt come with any recovery disks and so forth
to put in soo I can't do anything about it and when I say
cancel this comes up "error 1933 the windows installer
service cannot update one or more files" I have read
other threads about this problem and none have fixed
mine, I've also read all the microsoft help pages about
the prob and they also do not work... If someone could
help me it would be MUCHO appreciated.. Thanks -Nat

You should be able to point it to C:\I386 when it asks for the XP SP1 CD.
