Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
 

It won't let you install over previous builds, however there is a way:

Just go to to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wndows NT\ in the Windows Registry and delete the keys CSDBuild and CSDVersion ;)

Plus with this full release, you can slipstream a new XP CD with SP2 integrated.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
 

AFAIK It will let you install over certain variants of the pre-release candidate but not others. I downloaded the release first thing this morning (couldn't get it yesterday as the servers were getting hammered) because I shall be slipstreaming it onto XP and burning it to CD for future use.

grrrr it still says 2158 in the about screen. Someone keeps saying it 2180 but the official one from MS site is 2158 ???

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
 

I cant create a slipstreamed CD because mine are only recovery. They only have 1 file on each.

Please don't encourage Private Pike to tinker with his registry ;)

Build Numbers
 

Neowin are reporting that Build 2600 is the pukka release...

Hope this helps (sorry if already pointed out, did not have time to scan 20 pages)

Well it's installed on mine (no previous SP2 releases) and all seems OK? - This little "Windows Security Centre" sounds a little weird! - Windows Secure in the same sentance surely not?

I thought it was your Dad's PC? Which was kind of the point when you were being given the warnings before.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
 

Heh, it's ok, I can see the funny side of being told to grow up by a school kid :D

Ok, lets all count to 10 and get on with life. We don't need to make mountains out of molehills. :)
