'access denied' error while installing SP 3

I have just tried installing the SP3 from Automatic Windows Update for Windows XP and twice I
have got, half-way through the process, an 'access denied' error while installing SP 3 module.
No other details are given, except to get me to click 'OK' to roll
back the update.

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks in advance

You need original copy of xp. Access denied error occures in pirated xp.
SO go for original.

So you think I am running auto windows update with a pirated XP?

Is it RTM or RC2? If it's RC2, check this link:

My some friend faced the same problem as you. i have a genue xp home and installed sp3 without trouble.

I am having the same problem, I get about 70% done with the download and I get "Access Denied." I'm savvy enough to keep my computer running healthily, but nothing I have found online has help to fix this, so if anyone has an idea one how to do it, I really need the help. I really need to fix this before I deploy to Iraq, thanks for the help.
