theblazingangel Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 (edited) ...am I clear ?? well, youve certainly helped!so, - x64 editions are built on server 2k3 sp1, inc XP x64 - Tablet PC & MCE editions are built on xp sp1while you may consider them all to be rtm, i took a look at the file details for a few x64 updates, they infact use the folders SP1GDR and SP1QFE, not RTMGDR and RTMQFE! so therefore, they are actually reconised as being sp1. the reason im being so picky is because the project im working on is do to with microsoft patches, and so i need to know specifics!!now, all i still need to know is:1) the complete list of editions for Tablet PC and MCE. is it as follows:Tablet PC: initial release (2002), 2004, 2005MCE: initial release (2002), 2003, 2004, 20052) is there an sp1 for server 2k3 itanium releases?3) what about service packs for 2k small business server which i believe exists (correct me if im wrong) Edited June 5, 2006 by theblazingangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocent Devil Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 TPC and MCE are introduced after SP1 for XPit is the initial release with version 2002 (i suppose both TPC and MCE)They both have SP1 contained in it.Then along with SP2 which also contained the updates for TPC and MCETPC is upgraded to TPC 2005 and MCE to MCE 2004 with WMP9 engine for MediaCenter app.After 1 or 2 months M$ released MCE 2005 with WMP 10 engine and look for MCFor the case of MCE there is an "Ident" which specifies the MC app version. - initial release -- ident 1.0 - RollupUpdate1 -- ident 2.0 - MCE 2004 -- ident 3.0 - MCE 2005 -- idnet 3.1 - RollupUpdate 2 -- ident 3.2 I think there are no SBS for 2K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblazingangel Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 right, so between the initial releases and TPC 2005/MCE 2004 what was there?above i mentioned i believe there was a TCP 2004, and an MCE 2003. all i need is confirmation that they do indeed exist, and there are no others.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Devil Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) i dunno much abt TPC but the initial release, after SP1, was in 2003 i think there are no versions between the initial release and 2005 for TPC, may be rollup updates are there which sometimes upgrades the "Ident"in 2004 SP2 was released so there is not much time gap for another version in betweenSince the initial release was in 2003 , it may be as TPC 2003 and MCE 2003 ( mistaken as 2002 in previous post - which i think confused u) Edited June 9, 2006 by Innocent Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
