Hi,
I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro, so it has no updates installed yet. I
thought that SP2 included all critical updates to Windows XP ever published,
so that I could just install SP2 and nothing else. But I've activated
Automatic Updates in Windows XP: first it installed BITS 2.0 and now it
wants me to download about 50 critical updates (SP2 is not in the list). I
get the same long list on windowsupdate.com. Wouldn't it be cleaner to just
install SP2? If I get an SP2 exe off a CD and install it, will it work (even
though I didn't install those 50 citical updates first)? Or should I install
all those critical updates, and then install SP2 when it offers to?
Thanks.
