DJB Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 OK. I noticed when cleaning up my batch file for SP2 that there were a number of hotfixes that weren't covered by SP2. I don't know if they were specifically SP1 related but here's the list:Type 1 Patches:KB826939Q321884Type 2 Patches:Q831167KB837009KB870669Now, unless they are SP1 specific I'm assuming you would keep these files.Could someone please clarify if these are still needed, or can be thrown away.Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 They can all go. It's easily verified simply by installing only SP2 and running WindowsUpdate. No hotfixes will come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hotfixes will come up Thanks for that.I wasn't sure coz I didn't actually see them on the list of updates in SP2 and thought M$ might've forgot them, hehehe.One last question...Is it worth just using a fully-updated SP1a install or just using a SP2? The repsonses are so divided on this both on forums and between my peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophyte Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Use SP2. There's nothing hard about integrating it, and you don't have to waste time dodging around with all the SP1 post hotfixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipstreaming is easy as hell, done it plenty of times. The main concern was with the actual content of the SP2 package. I understand that there are few fixes that need to be done before you finalise the CD (which I can do no probs) but my main query is if it's got anything in it that is not good.Like you've probably seen on various posts around here, some ppl are sticking to SP1 rather than upgrading, now I dunno if these ppl are just scared (which half may be) or they know something about SP2 that's not good.Just trying to make this final decision b4 I reformat my hdd.Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophyte Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I've been using the RC's for a fair amount of time, and the RTM is working no worries on my box, I don't know what most people are afraid of though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the fact it's the RTM that bothers me, it's just all this bad information going around about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
