I've registered to post a potential solution: (At least that worked for me)
1.Make sure that your Windows clock's time is correct.
2.Go to the Start menu, Type Cmd in the search box, Right-click the CMD shortcut & select Run as administrator
Type the following command and press enter:
slmgr.vbs -rearm
Please wait about 1 minute and don't re enter the command. You should receive a message dialog.
Then, Just restart the computer and run the SP2 setup once again. Should work.

Susan Bradley recommended that you hold off on installing Vista SP2. Microsoft hasn't yet begun to push out the service pack via its Automatic Updates service.
so just hold yourself..
