Usually you would need to un-install any Release Candiate (RC) software
before installing the Final, and official, version.

In addition to Will's link you will have to uninstall RC(x) before
installing the final build.

When the final version of SP2 is released, it will not install over
a beta version of SP2. You'll have to uninstall SP2-RC1 as a
prerequisite to installing the final version of SP2. If you experience
difficulty uninstalling SP2-RC1, then a "Clean Install" of Windows XP
will be required, although a "Repair Install" may be a viable alternative.

thanks, that's the answer I was looking for.
Wasn't sure if RC1 even could be installed, or if there were issues with it.
Thanks
