SP2

[Lindylou]

Having problems installing SP2. Have tried the workabout in the MS Help
changing the registry keys and resetting the permissions but it still won`t
install. The Audio CD key seems to be the problem but when I check the
Permissions they are set to full in all. I have also tried the CD and
installing it in safe mode but still access is denied. This is driving me mad
I am not very technical but I am willing to try anything Please can someone
help me.

Hi Neil,
It stops installing about half way through it gets to FXSAPI.dll then says
Access is denied. Error code 5 something to do with Audio cd but Ihave
changed the registy permissions and still keeps stoping at that point.
