SP2 Install Problems

[Guest]

I have tried to install SP2 for Win XP Home Edition and keep getting the same
errors.

While installing, I first get messages like "Could not back up registry key
"HKCR\.DVR.MS" and "Could not back up registry key
"HKCR\.DVR.MS,\perceivedtype, video\"

Then, later, in the middle of the install, I get "Access Denied" and then
the install aborts.

I am doing this all under my user name which has administrator privileges.

Any suggestions on how to get past this?

Hi

Please see the "Access denied" section here:
