Hi

Some log files you can check for any clues or error messages:

%windir%\Svcpack.log
%windir%\setupapi.log

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)


It could be caused by Spyware or Parasites that kills update.exe

To check for Spyware and Parasites, you can run e.g. the
tools mentioned in the links below...

The Parasite Fight Quick Fix Protocol

Before installing SP2, you should take a look at the
following sites as well:
