Are you running the SP with full administrative rights?<br />
Rather than running the SP from the download, first extract the files &amp;&nbsp;run the update from the extract.<br />
Have you rebooted the server? There may be previous feature/role or KB installs that are still waiting for a reboot before you can do anything else.
