WBHoenig Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 5536 CAN be installed cleanly. It will ONLY upgrade from XP SP2 and 5384 (No other vista builds - which is why I had to clean install it).BTW: I got this build from Connect and not MSDN.5384 was the CPP'd Beta 2, right? Because of my problems with VMWare, I am thinking of installing 5384 or XP first on VMWare and upgrading. Bad idea, though, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoreGums Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (laptop) I've split my drive in half and have xp sp2 mce on one side & 5536 on the other, both boot fine.This is actually the 1st version of vista I have installed.I've downloaded lots of builds, just never got around to installing it.I want to stick this on my media centre computer (tv) it looks pretty good. I just don't know how the digital tuners are going to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winxpi Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) Vista 5552 was released shortly after 5536 so this is the newest one available for testers.Others think 5568 will be pre rc1. Edited August 30, 2006 by winxpi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 5552 was a leaked internal build that was not suppose to go to testers. was leaked by someone internally at MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marclile Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 fyi... looks like 5536 was added to MSDN subscribers a few hours ago. i'm downloading it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakatomi2010 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 This may not be the best place to ask, but I figure i might as well ask it here for fear of making another thread...Seeming as how they said there was a huge issue with the x64 edition of Vista Pre-RC1, does this mean we're not going to see a 64-bit version of Vista RC1, or does this just mean that there will be no 64-bit Pre-RC1 Vista and that later on they WILL release a public RC1 x64 Edition Vista?I only ask because me being the way I am I'm trying to live in a 64-bit environment, right down to the fact that I USED to use a copy of XP x64 Edition, so yeah.... I currently installed Vista 64 on my machine and I can't upgrade, need to know if I should just do a clean install of Vista 32 Pre-RC1 and upgrade to RC1 when it comes out....As fun as Betas are, they can be a bit tricky to manage, especially when you're trying to keep track of two different beasts...

croc Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 im only able to do an install over XP home edition. what files should i add or get to make it so that i can do a clean install nothing else?also, if i were to upgrade from 5384 to 5536, would i loose anything?upgrading 5384 to 5536 everything you have will be intact, i am not sure i understand your first questionI was one of the lucky 100k that got the 'public' release. Tried to upgrade my 5384 build, install didn't like that option, so I did a clean install. (it DID like my 5384 key, however)30 min.s later, Voila'! A functioning 32bit Vista OS! changed the power options, (why is it that Vista seems to think everyone must be using a laptop?) changed the UAC options, got TMAV installed, and went to look at device manager for 'yellow exclamations'. Only 2, both where the sound card should be. Installed the Aug 10 creative drivers... No fuss, no muss, one reboot and no 'yellow exclamations' left. Even the creative app works... changed my speakers to 5.1.imported my favourites and cookies, and so far so good. AND my perf. is now 4.1!Much closer to a releasable version. (now if it could only do SLI...)Now off to 3dmark testing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaceMouth Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I rad somewhere yesterday that they had fuond too many problems with 64 bi tot make it worthile t release at this time. Unfortunately I can't recall what site it was. It was pretty Iroonic how I got a copy of pre PC1. I was just brwosing around Tweaktowns site and bam I scrolled right into this bi mention about the downnlead being availble. I was under the impression they had resleasesd it like 2 weks ago. The I almost deleted it today by accident, went to download another, and of course it's finished. Luckily I found my original. I'm running 5384 still, I have a lot of things to do before I use RCq. I'm only planning on using it in VPC, I ge tthe feeling everytime I start up my PC that my current build install is evaporateing off my HD. lol. I'm interested to know what people who have used both versionn think about them. What's improved, worse etc.Although I think it will be a while before I get around to installing RC1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohead Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 RC1 IS build 5600.Has anyone else heard reports about a build 5717? That makes it part of the RTM branch, but the build date for it is 30th Aug. I personally think its a fake, but does anyone have anymore info on this?
