Danny--
I found mine, but I'm not sure they apply to you because I got them from a
different server than you probably did if you downloaded via Windows Update
or the network download. Someone might be able to name the direct files,
but going to these logs should show you the setup file on your box, I
believe, and I think this page from Jupiter Jones' nice SP2 installation
part of his site should cover this for you without having to even go to the
logs. I just listed the KB with the logs as a backup which should show
where all SP2 installation files live

Please pay special attention to Jupiter's caveat here in #6. His
instructions show you how to save maximal space safely:
"Do NOT delete "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles".
That file may be needed if you have problems later and sometimes for
hardware installations.
Some who really need the space burn this file to CD, but if space is that
important a larger or second hard drive is the better fix."
