This is exactly what I did. It finally worked! I just didn't wait before when the installer did nothing (0% processor use) for three or four minutes, so I assumed it was not doing anything anymore.

Now I have a whole NEW MPLAB to install anway!

Also, SP2 is pretty nice on my laptop for its wireless features, making it a lot easier to use when traveling.
