- Windows XP Service Pack 1 (Express)*
- Posted by Aerrin on January 5th, 2004
When I try to install this, it gets about 1/4 of the way
through and then pops up an error message reading
the file c:\\winnt\fonts\times.tff is open or in use by
another application. Close all other applications and
click Retry.
However, no programs are open other than the install
program and IE, which tells me that navigating away from
the page will stop the instillation process. Anyone know
what's causing it, or how to fix it?

This *might* be caused by a permission/rights problem on the file/folder...
The permission/rights on the file/folder can be corrupt, missing or revoked.
Verify that e.g. Administrator and SYSTEM have full control over the
file.
Several other people have had this problem for Win2k SP3 upgrades as well as
WinXP SP1 , on other files, with the same error message. After they fixed the
access rights, the service pack install succeeded:
