No.

Got more information?
You are *just* installing Windows XP SP2?
Is this a Clean Fresh Install? Repair install? Something else?

Details are good!

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update,
from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after
you repair a Windows XP installation
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

(Try it even if you did a clean, not repair, installation.)
(Try it even if you performed some sort of restore - not repair install.)
(Try it even if you did an upgrade installation.)

Do all suggested methods.

To find out if you have a 32 bit system (x86) -
Click Start, Select Run, now type in: msinfo32

Have a look at System Type.
