How to work around "access denied" during installation of SP4?
During installation of SP4 the message "access denied" appears with no detail and then the install rolls back. We have restarted the computer, we have unplugged the computer to clear any hung bit, we are logged in as administrator, no change.
Appreciate any thoughts to resolve this problem. New computer is not in the budget at this time.

Try disabling Norton or install from safemode under the default administrator account

Tried running with Archive turned on and AVG and Spybot turned off and no change. Will try running under safe mode. Was unable to get any detail on "access denied" error, it did occur during "updating registry" but gave no detail.

BUG: Driver installation program does not install device drivers
SYMPTOMS
Some driver installation programs do not work on Microsoft Windows 2000 after you install either Critical Update QFE 814033 or Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4. The installation does not succeed, and you receive an incorrect error message that no drivers are available for the device. The %WINDIR%\Setupapi.log reports that there are no compatible drivers for the device.
