Hello
Thanks for posting.
The two corrupted files seems to be components of Windows Update Client. Go to Windows Update – View Installed Updates, if you see Windows Update Client, remove it.
If not, I’d suggest take ownership and full control of the folder C:\Windows\Servicing\Packges, delete these two files (remember to backup) and try installing Service Pack 2 again.
This makes the current logged on user (needs to have Administrative privileges) owner of folder:
takeown /F c:\Windows\Servicing\Packages /D y /R
Then assign full control using:
cacls c:\Windows\Servicing\Packages /E /T /C /G "UserName":F
You may also try the Reset Windows Update Tool to fix this problem

If still no luck, System File Checker (SFC) and In-place Upgrade are viable solutions.
Run SFC to scan the system
