From: Davoud on 11 Oct 2006 22:21 If you consider this to be a Windows-only question, please ignore it. Flames won't be read. The installation is well along and I have a dialogue box that says "Some files on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD are needed. Insert Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD into the drive selected below, and then click OK." But there is no SP 2 CD, is there? The MS package indicates that SP 2 is built into the OS. Thanks!

MSDN has the ISO image for the SP2 CD but all I could see in the general "Downloads" section was an EXE to put SP2 in a folder, and an option to "Order" the SP2 CD. You probably want to try and find "en_winxp_sp2.iso" somewhere. Steve
