Installing SP2 and I'm getting this error.

The file is there, tried moving it, nothing seems to work.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

Thanks a ton.
 
I'm getting a similar problem, but mine says it cannot copy admin.dll, if I
tell it to ignore the file it carries on and then I get same error with
pchsvc.dll.

I also get a problem saying that c:\$Security may be corrupt. When Windows
reboots it runs chkdsk and finds no problems.

The other problem is when the install fails it doesn't roll back correctly
and laves IE partly upgraded, popup blocking shows up in Options and I am
unable to run ActiveX controls.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Dion,

I'm getting the same sort of issue. Now I'm seeing
C:\$MFT popups in the taskbar.

Things dont seem to be going so well with SP2 =(

Little more info, I'm seeing the following in the log:

716.125: Target File Size Mismatch:
C:\WINDOWS\pchealth\helpctr\binaries\pchsvc.dll,
ExpectedSize = 00009800, ActualSize = 00007400
 
Went the route of replaceing the file from SP1, I now get
a new string of errors of course:

I just tried downloading the sp again, now I get a problem on admin.dll.

In the event log I got this "The file system structure on the disk is
corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at ..."

But running chkdsk doesn't pick anything up and I have install other
software since with no problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dion.
 
The first error I got about not being able to copy a file
was atapi.sys .. turns out it was because of Alchol 120%
running, so I used Process Explorer to kill the atapi.sys
thread and the SP2 installation didn't complain this
time. Now during installation it tells me 'can't copy
this file' and 'can't copy that file'...I hit 'retry' and
it finds it suddenly...go figure.

Now it's 'Finishing Installation' and is giving me a
error box saying it can't find C:\WINDOWS\System32
\regsvr32' with no other option except 'ok'. I searched
for the file on my hard drive and found it in
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 as well as
C\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$... I think I will just
copy it from the former since it has a newer modifie date
and see if SP2 takes it...this is messy!!
