Windows Server 2008 SP2 installation fails due to missing SP1

** 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.

New WSUS KB: After upgrading to WSUS 3.0 SP2 on Small Business Server 2008, only the local language is enabled

We had one new WSUS related Knowledge Base article published last week, this one regarding an issue where after upgrading to Windows Server Update Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 (WSUS 3.0 SP2) on Windows Small Business Server 2008, the configuration wizard defaults to the operating system language in the Choose Languages dialog instead of the languages previously selected by the administrator.
