Admin Cannot Install SP2
I get an error message saying "you have to be an Administrator..." I log on
as local or Domain Admin, it doesn't matter, I still cannot install SP2. I found a older thread about this, but it made no sense to me. These are XP worstations with a 2002 Server Domain. Please help!

Admin Cannot Install SP2
From the Windows download. It's not specific to SP2, it happens with ALL
windows updates and it even happened once when I was trying to upgrade or re-install XP (can't remember). I do barely remember something about having to add the Administrator to other groups but I can't remeber how or what I did in the past to fix it.
