Setup cannot copy the file wscsvc.dll.
I've got a message popped up that says I need to install XP service pack 3.

I let it install, but it gets stcuk on the following error:

"Setup cannot copy the file wscsvc.dll"

It gives the path for the file as:

c:\windows\system32

I've checked in the path and the file definitely exists.

The message below the error says:

"Ensure that the location specifield below is correct, or change it and insert 'Windows XP System Files'in the drive you specify"

This message does not make much sense to me.

Is there a particular application running that could be stopping access to this file?
I've tried closing down all applications: but still no joy.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

thanks for the replies.
i looked at both those links.
in the end, i just hit cancel, and it gave me message saying: proceed with update without copyng this file?
i clicked on yes and it seems to be running ok now.
