Install Updates BEFORE installing SP2?
I'm running Windows XP Home Edition and I have not yet
installed SP2. When I go into "Windows Updates" I notice that I have 16 "High Priority Updates" to install (these 16 Updates are mostly Security and Critical Updates and their total combined size is 22 MB. HERE IS MY QUESTION: Should I install all of these "High Priority Updates BEFORE I install SP2. Microsoft suggests I run these High Priority Updates before installing SP2 in order to ensure a successfull installation of SP2. However, I was thinking that some of these Updates are already a part of SP2 and they would therefore be reduntant. Any suggestions as to whether I should install the updates before installing SP2? |
