Hi,

I just tried installing Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 from download
notifications and the installer looks to get pretty much near the end and
then fails with a generic message.

I couldn't see anything in the event logs illustrating what the problem
was... where can I find the logs?

TIA

Should be svcpack.log in the %systemroot% directory.
