XP Professional SP2 update error - Access Denied

I received the error 'Access Denied' error. In searching the knowledge base
I found reference to a 'permissions error' on a key in the registry. Can
anyone help point me to what key could cause this? Attached is a clip from
my SVCPACK file from where the first error is received. I have full ADMIN
rights with the ID I am signed on to - - Help!
