Where can I download the full SP2 installation file

Where can I download the full SP2 installation file so that I can
store it and apply it to another PC?

I want to get SP2 as soon as possible so getting a CD in the mail
from Microsoft will be too slow.

Hi

You can download the SP2 file (266 MBs) from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

SP2 is also available for ordering on CD:

Its nearly 300mb
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

I ordered the CD on-line and got it in less than a week.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...s/default.mspx

I got the CD by"snail mail" in 6 days. Not very long to wait. And you
couldn't ask for a better price .... free CD and free postage. Downloading
it is long on a dial up connection, and the chance of damaged data is always
there. I downloaded the full IT pack, and installed from it. I had some
small problems, not major but problems anyway. After receiving the CD, I
removed the update and cleaned up the HD. I then installed from CD and no
problems. Even with the broadband I have, I thing the small problems were
caused by a glitch in the download. Use the ordered CD. MSoft ships them
fast.

If there is a Staples in your area they have the SP2 CDs - for free.
