Yonderboy Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 How can I find out, what version of Service pack 1 is installed in widows build?I mean, is there any differrence between SP1 and SP1a in regards to those files (WIN51IP.SP1 and other ) that are added into root?Can I determine form those files if there is the newer or the older version of SP1?If not from them, is there any other method?Thanks.

ringfinger Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Well, the simple but not very informative way is to check Properties in My Computer. You can also download Powertoys TweakUI and check the option to display windows build on the desktop. Someone else here may be able to recommend an app that that can pull the info for you as well.

Iam looking for an answer HOW they do it, (not for the app itself), from exactly what file or atribute of the build (cd media), or where is this information stored.

ringfinger Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Ahh, I see... well my friend I have no idea there... sorry. My guess would be in the registry somewhere. Edited October 5, 2005 by ringfinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion2 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 If I'm right, SP1 has the Java runtime software in it, however due to MS having a running battle with the co owners of the java software they removed this and made the new SP1a cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonderboy Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Now that I reread my post, I see that I was not specific enough.I am talking about the installation media, the original CD, or the copy of those files in some directory on HDD. Not the actual installiation. I want to know, a method to find out, what version of SP1 has the media slipstreamed/integrated.(On second thought , i mentioned those WIN51IP.SP1 files in the root, and those are definitelly not in actual installation ) Edited October 5, 2005 by Yonderboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 There're some java related files in i386 in SP1 but not SP1a/SP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazzDevil Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Well i have noticed that if you copy all the files to a folder and then run Nlite and select that folder as the source for files to slipstream or modify that it will tell you exactly what sp & build it is hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Takeshi's hint may be helpful. Thanks goes to him. Edited October 9, 2005 by Yonderboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
