Hello, Ron
First, does it simply fail - ie, corrupted file, or does it give you a
message explaining why it wouldn't install?
You have to make sure you have the pre-requisite updates needed to install
SP1. Usually it fails to install when you don't have the pre-requisites.
Take a look at this website, where you have more information about that:
