SP3 setup error

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi,
During installation of the SP3 update (manual update) I see the following
error:

"An Error occurred while copying file beethov9.wma.
Cannot copy file to destination directory.
Click Retry to retry operation Click cancel to..."

I tried ignoring the error, but it comes up again during the install, and
finally causes the installation to fail completely. I could see the file in
the source directory; but I have no idea why it fails to copy to the
destination. The destination path was not given, and there was no other
info.

PC is a dell XPS Generation 2, XP home sp2, with 2gbram, 30 gb free disk
space. The account I was using has admin priveledges.

Thanks for any help.
Bill

Oh, the SP3 update installed fine on my Dell Optiplex running XP pro.
