Win XPSP2 RC1 Vs RTM
I will be getting a copy of Win XP SP2 RC1 and am wondering, when RTM is
sent (via MSDN Universal) will it be able to install over RC1 without having to reinstall all my apps? And am I falsing assuming that SP2 RC1 will install over SP1 also w/o having to re-install my apps? thanks gv |

Win XPSP2 RC1 Vs RTM
You will need to uninstall SP2RC1 before installing SP2RTM.
You may need to reinstall any apps that were installed while running RC1. No problem with SP1. Myron gv wrote in message ...

And am I falsing assuming that SP2 RC1 will install over SP1 also w/o having to re-install my apps? I wouldn't (and won't). But the RC1 install makes a backup for uninstalling (whether you like it or not) and the thing to do will be to use that, then install the RTM. Or (as well) make an image of the system partition in advance - trouble is I have now installed quite a lot of things since, so going back to that would be a bind -- Alex Nichol MS MVP (Windows Technologies) Bournemouth, U.K. (remove the D8 bit) |
