OK to install SBS SP1 on top of SP2?

I have an SBS 2003 server that I'm trying to apply the Vista/Office 2007 update to (KB 926505). This errors with "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack, or it requires a more recent service pack."

It turns out Server 2003 SP2 was applied to this machine without first installing the superseding SP1. Is it safe to apply the last part of the SBS SP1 update (specifically SBS2003-KB885918-SP1-X86-ENU.EXE) over the top of SP2?

sp2 will include everything in SP1.

You won't be able to install it because of that.

You may want to re-install SP2

Thank you for taking the plunge and reporting back.  I am about to do the same thing to resolve some SBS specific issues myself.  Luckily, I have it on an ESX server, so I just snapshotted the machine.  :-)
