Latest Sp2 Build Installation

[italiano]

I have the latest SP2 build.

My problem is that I have an older SP2 which was installed as part of a slipstreamed XP Pro installation.

When I try to install the new SP2 it tells me that I have to remove my older one!!

The problem is that I can't uninstall the old SP2.

Is there a way to install the new SP2 build in place of the old slipstreamed one ??

Regards

I'd be interested too. Ran into same thing, just did a clean install. Would be helpful to know, because I don't like to update so slipped new one too.

The only way to update the build with a newer build is to slipstream that build too.

I have a slipstreaming tool which makes it easy.
Can send you it if I can find it
PM me if you want it

This will interest some
go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\
and Delete the Keys CSDBuild and CSDVersion

Then it will update a slipped install. And great thing is it doesn't save all the BS to uninstall.

I just update in a virtual machine from the SP1 and I don't have to register it again

HotRod comes through yet again!
After I pm'ed you yesterday, I ran into the same problem, and your above remedy works fine. Just don't reboot after you delete those keys. Run the sp 1st.

Or just go to the directory and run uninstaller. Dont remember the directory since i dont have it installed atm. But it worked for 2120 and rc1, and a few betas so sure 2126 would work too.

Will, you mean there is an uninstall for a slipped cd install? If you remember where it is that would be another good thing to know.
