Sometimes the installation of SP2 ona a machine corrupts the AUTOEXEC.NT file. There is a backup on your hard drive to restore it.
Double click "My Computer" then your hard drive (probably C drive) and open the "WINDOWS" folder.
Open "SYSTEM32" and see if the "AUTOEXEC.NT" file is in there. Chances are it isn't. If it is, then it's probably corrupt. Arrow up or hit "Back" to return to the main WINDOWS folder.
Go down to "Repair" and double click. You should find "autoexec.nt" and "config.nt" in there. Copy these files (Ctrl+C) then go back to SYSTEM32 and paste them there (Ctrl+V). It will ask you if you want to replace the old one—click "Yes".
That should do it. Now try installing that program and it should work fine.
