I have downloaded XP-SP2 via automatic update and during
the install I get a dialog box pop up stating Cannot copy
branches.inf. It is looking in the following folder
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\6ca7b3a8efd5a9b6f
87fff395a2eb989\update and when I look in there the file
does exist.

Can anyone provide any insight into this?
