installing xp sp3 beethov9.wma can't copy

Allen

Hi,

Didn't find any reference to the following error I'm getting when installing
XP SP3. The installation complains about installing the beethov9.wma file
saying it couldn't copy the file. The path that it is using does indeed
contain the file. Retry just repeats the error. I went through the install 3
times. Tried searhing for this error in technical support with no luck. Any
suggestions?

It seems to have been to a file permissions problem.
