Hi

The permission/rights on the file/folder can be corrupt, missing or revoked.
Verify that e.g. Administrator and SYSTEM have full control over the
file.

Several other people have had this problem for Win2k SP3 upgrades as well as
WinXP SP1 , on other files, with the same error message. After they fixed the
access rights, the service pack install succeeded:

In a command prompt (run e.g. cmd.exe from Start/Run to open one):

Run the following command (verify that the path is correct):

cacls.exe %windir%\system32\ipanthlp.dll


Verify that BUILTIN\Administrators and NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM has full
control over the file (the letter F).


If you get an error saying "Data error (cyclic redundancy check)",
the hard disk most likely has a fault (e.g. some bad sectors).
