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.

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.

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.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
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.

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