Hi Ian,

This could be due to permissions problem. Create a new Administrator account
and try. If in XP PRO, the following command can help:

1. Open command prompt.
2. type the following command and hit enter:

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose /areas regkeys

3. Restart and computer and try installing SP2.

Regards,

Arun Aluvila.
