** This is a manual translation into English of my original post to assist more Admins in that matter as we see lots of posts regading similar installation issues ** Today I tried to install Service Pack 2 on a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 (with IE7) box but it stopped with the error message: You need to install Windows Server Service Pack 1 before continuing. Ok, we all know that there’s no such thing like a Service Pack 1 for a Windows Server 2008 which could be installed. Tried to install SP2 both from Microsoft Update and from the downlaodable file to no avail
