Anyone else tried to install the prerequisite package. I save it and rename
it like they say but it doewn't let me run right click and "run as admin"

 

[BChat]

Had to use Internet Explorer to do this, wouldn't work in Firefox
When I clicked on Download in IE - the file opened
copied text to Notepad - saved at a .bat file - then ran as Administrator

just what we needed.. a beta service pack on a beta quality os

You don't know what to do with Vista anyway. Maybe you should wipe your
system clean and install DOS 6.22. That would be your speed. You couldn't
possibly do any work with Vista. Way way too complicated for an idiot like
you.

Get one of those Vista for Retards books and study real hard.

Must be blind, but I can't find a download link.....?

Still can't figure it out. The file on this page is listed as 2k in
size...?

 

[Victek]

This is for vista... you know it? The crap OS microsoft made? It was a lot
like windowsMe in quality.. but this one was released in 2007... 5 years
after XP.

I wonder what it took them so long to make such a turd.

Given your opinion why are you posting in a Vista specific NG?

Vista is his Master...he can't figure it out so he has had a Vista hate
campaign running now for months.
He is a real loser!...LOL!

 

[Bill Yanaire]

No hate about vista franky...

only understanding, that you lack

and you lack brains.

 

[Victek]

Great, thanks!

Before deciding to install it:
1. Is it possible to uninstall?
2. Will it be possible to install the final SP2 over the beta?

It quick look around the TechNet forum answered my questions:
1. Yes, it is possible to uninstall.
2. No it is not possible to install the final SP2 over the beta. The beta
will have to be uninstalled first.
