Yahoo Finally got it installed after the 10 attempt. Turned out to be a MS programming issue that makes you really wonder.

The clue was

Humm a missing registery key. Turned out that the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SysHiper did not exist at all on my machine. You would have thought MS would have been smart enough to check for this and create it if it was not there.
I simply created this key manually and fired SP2 up again and it went straight through no fuss. I wonder how many others are pulling their hair out over this one?

running this tools, cannot find the log...should i wait until the tool finish his work? 'cause it seems it'll never end

oh, almost forget, win update doesn't work...
