I have a NT 4 sp4 machine. I tried running service up 5, 6a or even reappling sp4, but I always get the following message
Service Pack setup cannot open or modify your setup.log file.
Help!!

The setup.log file is normally located in c:\winnt\repair and is just a text file that lists information about the upgrade.
My guess is either that the file is missing or, more likely, that the permissions on the file or on the directory have been changed. The c:\winnt\repair directory is also where copies of the registry hives are kept, so someone may well have altered the permissions for security reasons.

By the way, I'm assuming you're trying to run the upgrade with an account with the proper administrative priviledges.
