That's the official release on the update site.
There is variants of it . 66mb auto download, then the 500mb full ISO
and some developers type 350mb.
I downloaded the full ISO and that didn't work then on another PC tried
the 66mb version - that didn't work either.
Couldn't pursue anymore too many PC's to repair and get SP2 working
again correctly. It seems to load some files which don't reverse which
interfere with SP2. Ill sort it out, one way or another, did someone
say the L word
