The error message I am getting is:

Fatal Error: Setup cannot create a temporary folder.
Setup cannot continue.

[ERROR=3]

This is what i found in the log file for the upgrade. I
haven't been able to find anything online about this
error message, hopefully someone has run across this
before. I am trying to upgrade a Windows 98 computer to
XP. I was able to upgrade it to ME, but I still get the
same error when trying to upgrade to XP.

Thanks,
Patrick
