Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (
More info?)
I've verified that the account I'm using is in the local administrators
group, which has the rights to backup files and directories and the manage
auditing and security log. I am able to install the MS04-030,036,037 and 038
patches, but each time I try to install the MS04-031 and MS04-032 I get the
permission error message mentioned earlier. I looked at the log files stored
a c:\winnt for these 2 patches and there does not seem to be an entry
indicating the cause of the failure.
Thanks,
Tony
