installing sp2 - "setup cannot copy the file mmc.ex_"

[Guest]

I am trying to install SP2 from a disc Microsoft sent me (free). My windows
OS is XP Professional.

The message "setup cannot copy the file mmc.ex_" appeared when the SP2 setup
wizard was "installing MMC.exe".

The file mmc.ex_ appears where setup seems to expect it but it cannot copy it.

What gives? Any help will be appreciated.
