>From MSDN:
Under certain circumstances, the installation setting for the Visual Studio
common directory can become damaged, which prevents the Service Pack Setup
from updating files on your system. If the Service Pack Setup cannot find
the common directory setting, it will alert you.
If you see this dialog box, refresh the directory setting by installing or
reinstalling any Visual Studio product before installing the service pack.
If you already have a Visual Studio product installed, reinstalling the
product provides the quickest resolution.
To reinstall:
1.. Open Control Panel.
2.. Choose Add/Remove Programs.
3.. Select the Install/Uninstall tab.
4.. Select the appropriate Visual Studio 6.0 product (Visual Studio,
Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual SourceSafe).
5.. Choose Add/Remove.
6.. When setup starts, select Reinstall to repeat the last installation
and restore missing files and settings.
Even though they are talking about a VB SP the issue is the same and
probably the resolution
