Guest Dennis Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 XP SP2 otherwise up to date For the first time I am getting an install error from Microsoft. In attempting to install SP 3. I get an "Access is Denied" from SP 3 Setup The status window shows: Initializing installation... done! Installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929) (update 1 of 1)... Then I get the above error. Any thoughts; help? I do not know where to start a fix. BTW, I did a backup prior and a Registry Mechanic after a first failer. The wizard automatically started in this and a previous attempt. I waited utill that finished. Any thoughts; help? I do not know where to start a fix.
