It turns out that the issue installing SP2 on my work machine was a corrupted local security database (C:\windows\security\database\secedit.sdb). Fun times indeed :-/

The only other instance of anyone ever having that problem on the entire internet was a guy who decided to just reformat the machine. However, I finally managed to uncorrupt the database - and then SP2 installed with no problems at all.

So far I've got SP2 installed onto 8 different computers, 6 different hardware platforms. No problems on any platform. Some with the firewall turned on, some with turned off.

I don't see any reason to hold back on upgrading to it, unless you've got some exotic hardware configuration. Time to work on rolling it out to the users.
