Can't Install Service Pack 2

I downloaded the .NET Framework SP2 exe to a Windows Server 2003 (standard)
machine, double clicked on the exe and got a message that starts out:

"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service
because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may
upgrade a different version of the program..."

I don't understand. This server does in fact have the framework installed
(1.1.4322); and was previously updated with the .NET Framework service pack
1 via the Window Update site.

What's the deal here? How can I get this Service Pack 2 to install?

Thanks!

Not sure what you are talking about. There is no SP2 for .NET v1.1, the
latest is SP1.

Okay, you can call me Homer: it was SP2 for .NET Framework 1.0; of course I
have 1.1 so that explains everything.

Over the last few days, I reinstalled Win2kSP2 to a spare harddrive I had just swapped into my Fujitsu LifeBook P1120 (long story <wink>). Subsequently, I DL'ed the newest Python alpha (2.4a2), and when trying to install it, I immediately got this error: This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service.

I am at best a part time developer of Access databases. I use Access 2.0, as this is all my employer has on its computers. Even so, to use this ancient version requires a fairly convoluted installation procedure on each PC on which it is used. I am self-taught from the help files that come with Access 2.0 and from painful experience. I've never attended any type of training course on how to develop databases in Access. I have no idea...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
