UPHClean event error on install

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I figured it out. I had installed the service from a network location. It
defaults to run under the localsystem account which does not have access to
that location.

I moved uphclean to a local folder and all worked.
