Installing via Windows Update

If you have a single computer to update, you can use Windows Update. Here is the procedure:

1.	Log on as a Computer Administrator and close any running applications.
2.	Check to see if the Express Updates icon appears in the Notification Area on the taskbar. If it does, double-click it and ask to view the update details. If Service Pack 2 is listed, the files have already been downloaded and all you have to do is let Windows complete the installation by following the procedure in the previous section.
3.	Open Internet Explorer and visit windowsupdate.microsoft.com. You may be asked to install the latest version of the Windows Update software. If a pop-up appears asking you to do this, click Yes.
4.	Select a Custom install. From the list of available critical updates, select the Service Pack 2 Express Install. Windows will download the Service Pack installer and components.

From this point, follow steps 3 through 7 in the previous section, "Installing via Automatic Updates."
