I've too have been trying to get at this problem for six months, but I've narrowed it down (in my case) where the SP2 install fails and Access Denie[s] when it gets to "cmsetACL.dll".

I tried the regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT fix described in this group, and hopefully did it correctly, but it did not work for me. It involved creating a new user named "Everyone" which was granted full access. I rebooted and attempted to install SP2 again, but it failed just the same.

AOL is installed with its Security Center and McAfee, but I believe I disabled them. I've even tried knocking any processes that I could identify in the Task Manager, but it's had no effect.

I could make this a new thread, but I accumulated over 30 critical updates and finally got a bunch of them installed anyway instead of waiting to succeed with SP2. I'm trying to avoid wiping my (wife's) hard drive like the local techs keeping telling her they have to do.

Before someone refers you to steps that you've already done, please inform us of the " several things " already attempted.

Currently have XP Home SP1, I have about 25 or so Security updates that I have been trying to install via Windows Update, but they always fail with x8007005. I tried to skip just upgrade to SP2, but I get the same error so it looks like either a file or a registry entry has some permissions problem. My WindowsUpdate.log contains the following:

(i've cut a little to make it easier to read)

Windows Patch download for UpdateId = {D3E34751-8A67-4226-8A9B-7FDB420021A8}: selected action is download express (delta).
AU checked download status and it changed: Downloading is not paused
AU setting pending client directive to 'Download Progress'
Updateci: WinSEUpdateHandler::_Inventory: Installer returned 0x5 (5)
FATAL: UH: 0x80070005: Inventory failed
.

.

I've looked at dozens of postings on this site that reference 80070005 and tried several things, but no luck. It sure seems like this must be a simple permissions error as the update attempts dont even really start to download anything, the update process fails immediately, seem like nothing is even downloaded. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thx.
