sp2 wizard won't launch

When I double click on the sp2 self-extracting cabinet file, all the files
extract properly, but the xp sp2 wizard fails to launch. I've tried
rebooting numerous times, but to no avail. Thanks for any tips anyone could
offer.

Hi Cascade17.
Post back with more details. What do product do you have, and what are you trying to update?
What were the failure messages?

If and only if, you are trying to apply Service Pack 2 for Windows XP:
did you take the proper steps "before" beginning to apply the service pack?
How are you trying (how did you get) SP2 ?

Keep this Windows Service Pack 2 reference page handy
