BITS is running and IIS seems to be okay.
I downloaded the standalone SP2 upgrade after wading through a reload of XP
just to get my system working again. For awhile there even my keyboard
stopped working!
Anyway, during my next upgrade try the system hung again and displayed the
same error message about MSDART.DLL. I ended up walking away for about an
hour and much to my amazement the install recovered and successfully
completed.
Thanks for your time and your suggestions.
