the following error I'm getting when installing XP SP3. The installation complains about installing the beethov9.wma file saying it couldn't copy the file. The path that it is using does indeed contain the file. Retry just repeats the error. I went through the install 3 times. Tried searhing for this error in technical support with no luck. Any suggestions? Allen, May 18, 2008 #1 Advertisements Michael T.

Cannot copy file to destination directory. Click Retry to retry operation Click cancel to..." I tried ignoring the error, but it comes up again during the install, and finally causes the installation to fail completely. I could see the file in the source directory; but I have no idea why it fails to copy to the destination. The destination path was not given, and there was no other info.

I set the sharing on C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents to "share this folder on the network", then retried the copy of beethov9.wma from the Software Update Installation Wizard - and the /Documents folder is now gone. I brought up the svcpack.log and the log tells me this: 1556.508: VerifySize: Unable to obtain Target file size: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample Music\Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (Scherzo).wma 1556.588: UpdSpDecompressOrCopyFile error: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample Music\Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (Scherzo).wma, Error = 00000005 and then a few lines down: 1561.595: UpdSpDecompressOrCopyFile retries failed: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample Music\Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (Scherzo).wma 1561.595: UpdSpDecompressOrCopyFile error: encountered an error:, Error = 0000007b Please resolve (I can't believe this problem has not been resolved)...

There was a problem with the file permissions with some folders in the \\documements and settings\all users\ path not being set to allow access. When I added permissions to modify these folders -- SP3 installed without a hiccup. Bill On Fri, 09 May 2008 12:32:42 -0700, MowGreen [MVP] wrote: Open the svcpack.log by going to Star
