SP 2 Download

[Bob W]

Does microsoft have a site where SP 2 can be downloaded and installed later
on another computer? I have found a site that is for IT Professionals but
the patch is almost 300 mb, and is not recommended for a single upgrade.

That is the patch for use on multiple machines after downloading it.

We say not recommended for a SINGLE upgrade as it is 300MB and a single
machine may be better off using Windows/Automatic Update where only the
files required by that specific machine are downloaded.

Hi Bob,

The site that you found is the site that you are looking for. Alternatively,
you could order the SP2 CD from Microsoft:

or
apparently the CD is available, free of charge, from retailers (Staples,
Best Buy, etc.)
