Problem reinstalling sp2

[John]

Hi

I am trying to reinstall sp2 on a xp pro pc using the downloadable network
install package. When I run the sp2 setup after running for a while it says
"An internal error occurred" and "Service Pack 2 installation did not
complete". The last few lines from svcpack.log are below. What can I do from
here to make the SP2 setup to succeed?

Many Thanks

Regards

Why are you attempting to reinstall SP2? Did you perchance just reinstall
Windows and end up with WinXP SP1? If so, did you do a Repair Install or a
format & reinstall?
