No error on catcher if runner stayed at second.
If runner then advanced to third, then score SB then retap runner at second, third, safe, error, 2.

Thank you for your response.
But, the catcher threw the ball over 2nd base, therefore the runner was able to advance from 1st to 2nd.
So how do I have to score this error from the catcher

Like I said, its not an error on catcher, unless he then advanced to Third:

Per MLB rule 10.07b:
(b) When a runner is attempting to steal, and the catcher, after receiving the pitch, makes a wild throw trying to prevent the stolen base, the official scorer shall credit the runner with a stolen base. The official scorer shall not charge an error unless the wild throw permits the stealing runner to advance one or more extra bases, or permits another runner to advance, in which case the official scorer shall credit the runner with the stolen base and charge one error to the catcher.
