It may have become corrupt on down loading, try down loading it again
or look for it on a computer mag cover disk.

Try using http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com to install SP2. To assure a
clean install, your anti-virus application should be disabled and all other
running processes closed before installing anything, including Windows
Updates.

You may want to visit a Staples store. They have the MS sp2 install disk
for free.
