    The error indicates that you were unable to download the "spybotsd.ini" file which is required to start the update process.

    Make sure that program SDUpdate.exe is authorized to access the internet via your firewall.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.

    Also make sure you untick the "Install updates now" (or words to that effect) option in the installer, just make sure to install the updates once installation is complete!
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
