It is never a good practice to install a released version of a
Service Pack over a beta version. You can try, but if you
encounter problems, you'll know why you have problems.

you need not un-install SP2RC2, to download the final version, as it
gets installed over this beta product.
However, if you have difficulties using SP2RC2 or if you wish to remove
SP2 beta product, you may un-install that throgh "Add/Remove Programs"
in your Control Panel.

I'd probably read the docs for the real RC2 once it's available and see
what MS recommends you do. But that's just me as I'm not a religious
person who crosses his fingers, clicks away, and hopes for the best.
