I am trying to update a Windows 2000 Server and receive the following message:

The following updates were not installed:

-- Update for Background INtelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP
5.1 (K842773)

--- Microsoft Windows INstaller 3.1

This server is currently at SP 4 and I have not udated it since May 2004. I
tried to install the updates manually after downloading them put then I get
the message:

"You do not have permission to update Windows 2000" ---- I am logged in as
Administrator of this local machine.

Please help.
