SP 2 is cumulative: It installs all security updates and bug fixes
previously issued that are not already on your system.

Note to the OP: Don't let yourself get that far behind!

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?
.
Can't go wrong if you install the updates first, before
you install SP2. Otherwise you may create a problem for
yourself. hfc
