SP2 Unable to Copy File

I have tried to install SP2 several times. Each time it stops with an error
saying it cannot copy a file. The file is different each time. only option
is to cancel and revert back.

I have tried various suggestions, including trying to rename the file when I
get the error and trying to set it as not read only. Neither works.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
Steve

Are you trying to install the update from the SP2 CD or as a download?
