Destination Folder Access Denied

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately this reported " Windows Resource Protection did not find any
integrity violations", but Windows still grumbles that the file is corrupt.

What I was really asking is how can a file be copied to WINDOWS\System32
without it being blocked.

At an elevated command prompt, type the following command, and then
press ENTER:

takeown /f Path_And_File_Name

For example, type
takeown /f E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.

Type the following command, and then press ENTER to grant
administrators full access to the file:

icacls Path_And_File_Name /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F

For example, type
icacls E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll /grant administrators:F.

Type the following command to replace the file with a known good copy
of the file:

Copy Path_And_File_Name_Of_Source_File
Path_And_File_Name_Of_Destination

For example,
type copy E:\temp\jscript.dll E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.

Thanks for your continued interest in this issue.

However, the problem is not with file access permissions but with Vista
blocking the file copy process.

Vista is blocking the copy because it won't allow a file owned by
TrustedInstaller to be moved/replaced. See:
