I installed SP2 on my XP Pro laptop yesterday and ever since, any program I
try and install which uses an MSI file fails!

It hangs half way through and won' cancel - I have to kill the process.

Is there a way around this before I uninstall the SP?

I tried searching Google and Technet and nothing.

I experienced similar problems in the short time before I reverted to
SP1. Included messages when Add/Remove failed to uninstall programs,
implicating MSI as cause.
