"Access Denied" error when trying to install SP2
http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=7796&view=next
Take a look at this page, in the section "Access denied"

keep this page handy

The pre-install recommendations link is a good start. make sure you don't have malware or other gotchas.
The "Doing the Installation" section is the meat & potatoes "how to".
The "Tidying up after Installing SP2" will save you HD space.
