This may cause if the following registry entry error..... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionProgramFilesDir Now try the below: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion and on right side the value is "ProgramFilesDir", just type "REG_SZ" (without quotes) Double click this value and set the data as c:program files (if it is loaded in C drive) Remember, before doing, must take the necessary backup of ur data and registry ! OR there is a better way to download SP2 and install it manually.
