Milly:

I do not get any error message. Everything starts out fine, the update
completely downloads and starts to install. The status bar for the
installation get about 75% complete and then the installation simply stops.
No meassages about anything being wrong. The installation just stops.

Yes, I have tried the full file. Same result. Acts like it is installing, and
then just stops with no error messages.

Service pack 2 finally installed. I did not do anything different from my
previous attempts to install it. I cannot explain why it suddenly installed
anymore than I can explain why it did not install.
