Hello,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that:

You receive the error after install the Vista client upgrade patch.

If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

It is reported that the improper permissions are placed on the "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\clientsetup\clients\setup"
folder due to some failed update installations.

To indentify whether this is the root cause, you may try to removing the
"READ ONLY" attribute from the top level folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Windows Small Business Server" to check how it works.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me
know.

Best regards,

Miles Li

> That folder is in two places as I put my user data on a different drive when I built the SBS2003 installation.
When I attempt to change the read only attribute it is checked but grayed
out. I can click it and it deselects then askes if I want to apply to the
subfolders I click yes and it went through the files and changed the
attributes. I did this on both folders the one in the C drive and the one on
the users drive. When I go back to those folders after the change the read
only box is checked again and grayed out.
If I uncheck it it does not present the dialog to do the subfolders etc on
either drive.
I logged in as a user on one of the client machines and still get the copy
file error.
I checked the permissions for the domain users and they were still read
only so I checked the full control box on both drive/folders. The parent
folder still has the read only checked and grayed out.
The permissions setting that I selected stick but the parent folder still
has the read only checked.
Still get the same copy error. What next?

Other than Miles suggestion(s), delete the _SBS_* user profile that the
setup creates and try again?

Hello,

Thanks for the update.

As the "Read Only" permission on folders "Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server" is inherited from the folder "C:\Program Files". This is the reason
why the permissions are grayed out on the subfolders. To remove the "Read
Only" permission, you may try to remove the permission on the "C:\Program
Files" folder.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me
know.

Best regards,

Miles Li

I found the issue. The client setup wizard put another application setup
command in the login script so there were two of them. I deleted the second
one and the problem is gone. Thanks for the suggestions.
