Service Pack 2 Problem

**Dragon** · 03-29-2005, 07:04 PM

Yeah, so I was downloading Service Pack 2 and halfway through this thing pops up. It says - "Copy Error. Setup Cannot copy the file winhlp32.exe"

Ensure that the location specified below is correct or change it and insert Windows XP System Files in the drive you specify.

So what is this file and how do I fix it so it will install this, or do I even need this file at all?

where are you downloading it from?
You should be able to get the full 260mb version from Microsoft.com
You want the version for system administrators etc.

I'm just downloading it from automatic updates that pop up.

Nah, get it from here

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

That way you can burn the file to CD and if you ever need to reformat your PC you can use the service pack from the CD rather than downloading it again.

I believe I had that same problem before, turned out it was a virus issue.

How did you make out?
