Need help installing Admin Console for WSUS 3.0 SP1 on my XP machine

I am running WusSetup.exe from a mapped drive to my server (also tried UNC path) and selecting Administration Console only, but the installation fails. Here is what is in the log file it refers me to -

Any ideas?

Have you tried to go to the command line and see if you have access to this file? It sounds like a naming problem or permissions problem.

Thanks Eraser63 for pointing me in the right direction. Though the installation worked a treat, I had to copy the .msc file from the server because it appeared that no start menu shortcuts were created. I presume this setup simply gave me the ability to add a snap-in. Anyway, it is now all up and running thanks to your assistance.
