Default Windows XP Service Pack 2 - Error after download

I tried to install SP2 from the WindowsUpdate site, and after the download
(or maybe it was near the end of the download), it tells me the installation
failed. I tried several times, restarting my computer between each attempt,
but the same thing always happened. Because SP2 has only been available on
the WindowsUpdate site a couple days, I am assuming there is some small
error that Microsoft made in putting it there (since a friend of mine
recieved the same problem). Has anyone else been having this problem, or is
there something I need to do before performing the download & installation
(such as disabling something?) Otherwise, I will just try maybe once a week
or so...

I had the same problem when trying to download and save
the file so i could install on more than 1 machine, but
it worked fine to download and install in one go. I hope
this helps.
