XP SP2 "Access is Denied"

[R. Greenwood]

I am trying to install XP SP2 on a machine using XP Home Edition. I get an
Access Denied message about half way through the install. The setuapi.log
file has 2 error 5 entries:
#E065 Parsing Addreg Section [Product.add.reg] in
"c\5da34d6fa58f7a029346a97ac2ef\i386\update\update.inf" failed. Error 5
Access is Denied the other is #E064 Parsing Install Section [Product
Install.Global Registry Changes.Install] in "c\5da etc etc (Same as Eo65
for the rest. I see lots of evidence of the problem on the net but no
actual solutions. Please, has anyone any idea how to solve the problem?

You're not very good at picking the right newsgroup <G>!

This problem has nothing to do with Windowsxp.basics! Try
microsoft.public.windowsupdate

Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Example, a search for:

installing SP2 "Access Denied" "Windows XP"

http://www.google.com/search?q=installing+SP2+"Access+Denied"+"Windows+XP"

Might lead you to:

You receive an "Access is denied" error message when you try to install
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873148

While installing SP 2 you received an error stating "Access is denied". The
install then stops and is rolled back.

Hi Bob,
I would like to know if you are installing from the SP2 CD or via
download from MU. I think you are posting in the right NG.

So what purpose does the microsoft.public.windowsupdate serve?
