Hi Cask,
 
  This error could be due to the corrupted CD image or exe file. Have you tried using a new CD image? Please try downloading new SP2 image from the microsoft website and use it.
 
Thanks,
Raja.

Thanks, Raja.  I will attempt to give it a try.  But it seemed to me that Windows Update thinks it is already downloaded and ready to install and would not let me download again.  I could be wrong about that.

The link below takes you to the Microsoft Download Center page for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (32-bit x86). This is the full service pack download and does not use Windows Update cached files.
 
 
If you do have a corrupt download in Windows Update, stop the Automatic Updates and Background Intelligent Transfer Services. Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder in your Windows installation folder to SoftwareDistribution.old. Start both of the services again. This prevents Windows Update from seeing previously cached downloads.
