Unable to download XP Service pack 2

[Brad Pears]

I have an XP machine that had an older version of SP2 on it. (it seemed to
be a beta version or something). I am having troubles installed VS.net 2005
and found through searching that I should try uninstalling the SP2 version I
had and download the most recent one from Microsoft Update.

So, I uninstalled XP SP2 and when I run windows update and select the
"Express" option, XP SP2 is not in the list of updates! I have looked high
and low, and everything I read points me back to Windows or Microsoft
Update. I am going in circles!!

Help, where can I get the most recent version of XP SP2 from?? OR how can I
make sure the WIndows Update sees XP SP2 as an update for my machine???

Thanks,

Brad

That link indicates that the download is specifically for deployment to
multiple computers. Do you know if it will also work for install on just one
PC?

Thanks, Brad

Pay no attention to that, it just indicates it's the full installation, no
internet connection required for install.
