I tried installing Windows XP SP3 but got an error of 'Access Denied'.
After some searching, I found this page from Microsoft.

I followed the instructions and installation was then successful.

Give this a try if you're getting the same error.  

Apparently this error is caused by registry folders having the wrong
permissions, which prevents the installer from completing.
