I have a Dell laptop running Vista Home Premium. Vista SP1 will not install either through WU or manually. I've tried several possible solutions, but it appears it is due to a corrupt manifest file (0 length file).

Microsoft wants me to do an in place upgrade. I requested the DVD required from Dell but the DVD they sent has SP1 included.

My question is, can I do an in place upgrade on a non-SP1 system, using the SP1 slipstreamed DVD? Or is this just asking for trouble? If it would work, I would automatically have SP1 installed.

Thanks!
