Hi
I can't see any errors in your log file, but try this:
Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"net.exe stop wuauserv" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok
Repeat the same for the following commands:
regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe msxml3.dll
net.exe start wuauserv
Anyway, I never uses Windows Update to install a service pack.
To install SP2 without using WU:
SP2 is available at the Microsoft Download Center
(standalone "network" version, 266 MB):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...5-9e368d3cdb5a
If you think that download is to large, you can get the same
file on a CD from Microsoft.

Also, before installing SP2, you should take a look at the
followng sites:
