Seems pretty simple right?

imple if I actually had a CD labled Service Pack 2!  My first approach was to just proceed without it.  After install it was pretty apparent that I needed this CD.  Pretty much nothing would work, my IE icon was even broken.  When I would try to install drivers it would tell me that my Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service was not running.  Isn’t this always running?

So I tried to reinstall with a different approach.  This time I figured I would download Service Pack 2 extract the files onto my second HDD and point to this when it prompts me for the CD.

The time came for me to insert the CD labled Service Pack 2, I pointed to the SP2 directory that I had downloaded.  It’s working!  Oh wait, maybe not.  Missing files.  Found it, oh, missing another file, yeah, this isn’t working.

Back to Google, why has no one else ran into this but me?  Well when googling one of those missing files I finally found someone else with the same problem.  He was trying to do the same thing as me.  He download SP2 and did the same thing as me when prompted.

Finally someone had the answer, when Windows asks you to insert the CD labled Service Pack 2 just put the 1st Install CD back in.

That’s it, so simple, so much headache for nothing…
