XP SP2 Installation Problem

[Mark Jennings]

I'm trying to install XP SP2 on a Dell Dimension running XP SP1.

I try to install SP2 and it proceeds to decompress the files for the install
into a temporary folder on the system volume. So far, so good. BUT before
the proper installtion dialogue comes up the setup aborts claiming "The
system cannot find the file specified". Help! Anyone know how to overcome
this?

Many thanks in advance
