not just EXE.
Hi,

There is no standalone SP2 msi file on the CD.

The msi file is inside the full SP2 install file (266 MB) that you can
download from Microsoft (the same file that also is on the CD).

Note that you will only be able to use the MSI file from a Group Policy
based deployment of SP2.

See "Deployment Information" here
