Hi,  
  
There is a problem with SP2 installation: "Failed to install Catalog Files"  
  
Here's log details:  
  
1476.031: GetCatVersion:  Failed to retrieve version information from  
  
C:\WINDOWS\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\Tmp.2.wme  
  
rrenu.cat with error 0x57

1479.750: DoInstallation:MyInstallCatalogFiles  
  
failed:STR_CATALOG_INSTALL_FAILED  
  
1489.015: UnRegisterSpuninstForRecovery, failed to delete SpRecoverCmdLine  
  
value, error 0x2  
  
1489.015:  DoInstallation: Failed to unregistering spuninst.exe for  
  
recovery.  
  
After that SP2 cannot even rollback. "Windows XP has been partially updated  
  
and may not work properly"  
  
Please advise.  
  
Dmitry
