>From what I've been reading online, you get the best results from
downloading the CD image and installing from that. It's got 220mb of
files extra to the Windows Update version, or the standalone patch.

One thing to beware of though, is that when you run it, all the
information shown says Service Pack 2. Some good Quality Control there I
see...

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.
