Mobility Site - View Single Post - Active Sync 3.8 installation problem (copy error-1)

I have had this problem since I put together my new system. As best as I can find out, the ActiveSync installation is checking to ensure the user account has administrator rights. When it can't verify admin rights, it gives this error. (See Microsoft KB825438)
I only have one active user account, hence it HAS to have admin rights, doesn't it? But, still it errors out when installing. I have versions 3.6, 3.7, 3.7.1, and 3.8. I can only get 3.6 to install, the others all have the same error.
Now my question: is there a registry entry that needs to be 'tweaked'?
