Vista Build 5456 Released to Testers
Posted 6/26/2006 4:17:20 PM by Steve Sinchak in Windows Vista News

On Saturday Microsoft released Build 5456 to testers on connect.microsoft.com.
<<< snip>>>

What we ask that you do with this build:

Upgrade Beta 2 – Beta 2 to RC1 will be a supported scenario. We need your
help finding bugs we need to fix that may impact our TAP customers that have
deployed Beta 2 and the Preview Program users who may upgrade. The below
items are a few we know about already.

If you must clean install, clean install Home Basic or Home Premium and hunt
for bugs specific to that build. Do the help files point at a feature that’s
not there? Is there something broken there that works in Ultimate?

Please take the time to verify bugs you’ve filed that are still active. Go
to Connect and let us know if they still happen or if they have been fixed.

Things you should know before installing:

Remove Applications Before Upgrading

When upgrading Windows Vista Beta2 x64 to Windows Vista 5456 x64 you may be
unable to uninstall applications after the upgrade is completed. We
recommend users uninstall any applications prior to upgrade that you may need
to remove after the upgrade has completed.

While informative, this does not apply to the people enrolled in the CPP, as
they will be testing Build 5384 until the release of RC1

I upgraded from 5384 to 5456 without problems. It did take significantly
longer to install than a clean one though.
