Hi, when trying to install Service Pack 2, I run into an error of:
InstallSingleCatalogFile: MyInstallCatalog failed for sp2.cat;
error=0xfffffbfe

As I understand it, this means that with the number of patches I have on
this machine already, an error occurs when trying to apply more updates.
The
solution I see recommended is to install Service Pack 2. The catch 22, of
course, is that I can't install Service Pack 2 due to this error. Is
there
another course of action I can take to resolve this issue? Thanks for any
info you can share.
