Hi Folks,

Anyone knows the source of the following error message
while upgrading a Win2K server to SP3?

"The file c:\arcsetup.exe is open or in use by another
application. Close all other applications and click Retry."

I have done the following:

1. Uninstall McAfee and then install SP3
2. Install SP3 in "safe mode"

None of the above have worked! Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
Hello

Lets try the following

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Click Tools > Folder Options
3. Click the View tab
4. Choose "Show hidden files and folders"
5. Clear the check box for "Hide protected operating system files"
6. Click Apply and OK
7. Browse the C: drive in Windows Explorer
8. Right-click on the arcsetup.exe file and choose Properties
9. Click on the Security tab
10. Make sure the Everyone group has the Full Control permission to thi
file

The above worked for me. Good luck
