Guest SteveDB Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Hello and Greetings, I'm having a particularly interesting problem installing SP3. The installation seems to go well until receiving a "Copy Error" message. It reads as follows: "An error occurred while copying file mmcfxcr.dll. Cannot copy file to destination directory. Click Retry to retry the operation or clock Cancel to" That it for the first message. I am allowed to browse for the file and can see it in the temp installation directory created during the install of SP3. It will not however allow me to get past the error. I extracted the file using the /x parameter, copied to the c:\windows\system32 directory manually and tried to use regsvr32 to register the file to see if that would help. No go. The following error message came up after cancelling the installation: "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." Any idea what the problem could be and what to do? P.S. I am a local admin and domain admin. Using Domain Admin to install 1st, tried local admin afterwards, still no go. -- SteveDB

Although not conventional, how about installing it in Safe Mode? - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest SteveDB Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: KB936929 Setup Error - mmcxfcr.dll Hello and Greetings, I did try that and of course....same result. I did catch another possible clue.. The process it is trying to accomplish the following when the error for the mmcfxcr.dll occures: "Installing file MMCFXCOMMON.RESOURCES.DL" Now, I'm not sure how the two correlate together but it occurrs at the same place, same messages each and every time.
