Add me to the list of SP2 victims.

I'm getting that exact error. When I cancel and try to uninstall SP2 I
also get an error that the uninstall failed.

I am getting the same proble. I used the update disc and then went to the
update site and it happened both times. I have sent an error report to
Microsoft as my system appears to be half way between the new update and the
old system.
