Will there be an 'express' installation for sp2?

[Guest]

If one has been faithfully keeping up with all the security and service patches through Auto Update, will the size of sp2 be reduced accordingly,like sp1. My friend says that you will have to DL the 'full' version. I say, as in all previous SP's, only new files will have to be downloaded.

I have a couple of drinks riding on the answer.

TIA

Service Pack 2 "Express Install" size will vary according to what
components need to be updated. Each instance will differ.

The full "Network" based install will total well over 200 Megabytes.

You Win.

Hello,
If you use Windows Update, you will only download what is needed. You do
not have to download the entire service pack, to "express" install size
will be smaller than the full download.
Thanks,
