Maybe *you* can't get SR2 to install, but not everyone has this
problem.

On a computer with SP2 installed? SR2 tries to reinstall and update the HTML
parts of Office 97, I don't know of a way around that since SR2 doesn't allow
a "custom" install. Anyway, it sure failed for me, I installed Office 97 by
deselecting the HTML options and all the updates went well until I tried to
install SR2. I don't recall the errors now, it's been a while.
