SP2 Release

[Darren Atkinson]

Does anyone know when SP2 is going to be released for the Windows Update or
where I can find it in the download center on the Microsoft site?

Thanks

It will be available thru Windows Update as of Tuesday. You can also
download the "network" version from the Microsoft site. It will work on a
single computer but the download is around 260 Mb. I installed it on two
computers so far and no problems.

Hi

Here is the distribution plan from Microsoft:

09. August Release to Microsoft Download Center (network
installation package)

10. August Release to Automatic Updates (for machines running
pre-release versions of Windows XP Service Pack 2 only)

16. August Release to Automatic Updates (for machines NOT running
pre-releases versions of Windows XP Service Pack 2)

16. August Release to Software Update Services

Later in August Release to Windows Update for interactive user
installations

That means that tomorrow people with Automatic Updates (AU) enabled
will start to get an offer from AU to install SP2.

As listed above, it is also available at the Microsoft Download Center
(standalone version, 266 MB):
