Hi,

There is a problem with SP2 installation: "Failed to install Catalog Files"

Here's log details:

1476.031: GetCatVersion: Failed to retrieve version information from
C:\WINDOWS\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\Tmp.2.wme

1489.015: UnRegisterSpuninstForRecovery, failed to delete SpRecoverCmdLine
value, error 0x2
1489.015: DoInstallation: Failed to unregistering spuninst.exe for
recovery.

After that SP2 cannot even rollback. "Windows XP has been partially updated
and may not work properly"

Please advise.
