XP Pro installation error

Ok, after I enter my serial key it asks if I want to update setup files.
I do not want to at this time. So I select no.
Then it gives me an error saying
"Setup cannot create a temporary folder. Setup cannot continue"
So I looked around on the net. Clearing temp folders was the only
solution I found. So I cleared my temp folders and to no avail. i still
have the error.
I am using Windows 2000 Professional. Any insight as to how I can
upgrade?

Hi,

Are you logged on as admin or with admin privileges?
Disabled AV software?

The error indicates either insufficient space to create the folder, or
insufficient root privileges.

$0.02: If you're moving up from win2k, you're replacing it with win XP. I would
think update setup files would be a definite YES. Then there's the thing do you
want to run 2 OS or Just XP ?

Are you doing a new installation or upgrade? I found these in a
search. Method 2 may be worth a try.
