Reinstalling Service Pack 2

[Ian Smith]

Had to uninstall Service Pack 2. Came to reinstall it and it gets part way
through then returns an error message saying 'Access Denied'. Can't figure
out from the Knowledge Base why this is or how to resolve it. Now means I'm
running under SP-1, for obvious reasons want SP-2 back. Any ideas?

Thanks
Ian
