Windows Server 2003 R2 won’t install SP2

by chrissthatcher . Updated 18 years, 8 months ago

I have a custom built pc that I use as a file server. It is currently running Windows Server 2003 R2, and I was going through the slow process of updating Windows when I ran into a problem while installing Service Pack 2.

It goes through most of the Software Update installation procedure, then stumbles consistantly on the file “sqlrun.cab”

I did a search for the file and located it in:
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\997d565a9b554014a4a76b1acff3b71d\sqlrun.cab

I decided that something may be blocking access to the folder, so I tried to copy the file to my desktop, but when I did that I got the error:

“cannot coppy sqlrun: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check).

This is a fresh install of Windows Server 2003 R2 and the only other software I have installed on the machine is Norton Antivirus CE (for the small memory print), and Sybot S&D both programs are updated.

Is there some way I can get a non corrupted version of the file, or am I going to have to copy my 100 gigabytes of data across the network and try reinstalling? Any help would be much appreciated, I’ve been trying to self troubleshoot for a couple weeks now and can’t figure it out.
