"Access Denied" during SP2 installation

[jason]

I am trying to install SP2. Far into the process, Windows pops up an
window that says, simply, "Access Denied" and the installation fails.
After I click OK to back it out, Windows reports that things may be
broken. Any idea what this means and how to get around it?

Thanks,

Jason
