why Movie maker 2.0 is still installed after installing SP 2...

[Guest]

Hey all-

I have been to and read the Movie Maker 2.1 page and understand that by
installing SP 2 I am getting Movie Maker 2.1. However after ordering the cd
for SP 2 and installing it, I am still running Movie Maker 2.0.

Previously before formatting the machine, I downloaded and installed SP2
from Windows Update and did get Movie Maker 2.1. Is there a difference
between the Windows Update download of SP 2 and the CD of SP 2? If so, how
can I get the Movie Maker 2.1 back on the Machine? Will installing SP 2 again
cause any duplication of Register Keys and will it give me Movie Maker 2.1
without corrupting the initial installation?

Maybe the following article will offer some ideas:

What can I do if I upgrade to Windows
XP SP2 and Windows Movie Maker 2.1
is not installed successfully?

Did it all and it works great! Currently have Movie Maker 2.1 now
installed on the machine. Many Thanks! Now I can feel rested knowing I have
the latest gear and patches installed on this machine.
