>No problem, thanks for your help. I have the latest updates installed for XP sp3 and still the error, very frustrating but will keep googling!
Are you running the installer as an admin, or as a limited-privileges user?
Have any source or target folders been inadvertently set to read-only?
Is there any unusual software running such as anti-malware, real-time backup/mirroring etc.?
