service pack 2

after 20-30 minutes of downloading it states that access is denied?? whyhw

installer is hosed for most everyone, see my previous posts.
There is no way MS can't address this issue.
Their past work arounds have not fixed it.

"most everyone"? Really who? Not me or my computers.
Even so, not everyone.

The fixes mentioned in my post go beyond the Microsoft fix.
Read the link as well as my post.
Or do you know the details the OP has not yet mentioned?

I haven't seen thousands of posts in one week. Where do you come up with
your numbers?

You do understand that people who have problems post to this newsgroup. The
millions that don't, do not post.

You apparently are simply trolling.

The website was helpful, it has identified where the problem lies. I did
follow the directions and turned on verbose, it did tell me where the access
was being denied, but when I followed the path in the regedit to set the
permissions I could not find the exact location.
The path was HKLM\software\microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\Feature
Control\Feature_Disable_MK\Protocol.
I can follow the path until I get to MAIN, after that level there was no
Feature Control path to follow, just "Error Threshold".
I didn't have to adjust the permissions, they were already set to full
access, except for the CREATOR OWNER, which wouldn't let me give full access.
When I check the boxes and click "REPLY" the permissions do not stick. This
is the only one that I cannot change, unless I want to deny it access (which
I don't).
What is the next course of action?

I think it may help to post what you are seeing.

I'm not certain that pre-XPsp2 that that subkey would be always present.
E.g. it seems to be mostly used to activate hotfixes in IE6;
so if you don't have any hotfixes installed that subkey might not exist.

What is your maintenance level of IE?
At one point you could see it in Help, About
and list it by running the following script fragment in an IE Address bar:

javascript:navigator.appMinorVersion

Otherwise Run... (e.g. press Win-R and enter

msinfo32 /category IEFileVersions

sort descending by Version (e.g. click on that header)
and capture the latest versions of the modules that you
have installed (e.g. press Ctrl-a,Ctrl-c).
That information could allow some of your updates to be inferred.

Or you could switch to a cmd window and see your list of
hotfixes by entering:

systeminfo >sysinfo.txt
and
notepad sysinfo.txt

then doing F3 find for Hotfix (apparently it can't decide
if it has one or more <w>)
