Vista - Re: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 upgrade nightmare?

11-22-2008

Strange, I know that there are pre-requisite updates you must install to
have a smooth installation of Vista SP1 and the installation process itself
can arduous and long sometimes looking like it has stalled. I am sure once
you get the Vista with integrated SP1 you will be able to do an upgrade from
your Vista RTM installation.

Just for information, I have my system upgrade anytime there is one to
be posted. I am sure they all have been posted and installed and if
one had not I would think the CSR Level 2 tech would have said
something. It has bewildered me but am waiting on the disk to see if
that will work prior to having to do a clean re install. Will post if
it does or not!

Hi Andre

Thanks for your reply, am still waiting on my disk from MSoft and will
post if it works and if not that I had to do a clean install. I
have saved the post from William Walsh also just in case I have to do
a clean re install with the new Vista disk. I hate doing that but if
necessary I will. Even bought a HD Caddy and a new 500 GB HD to clone
the old stuff to so I don't lose it all if I goof it up.

Just as an update I am still waiting for my disk w/SP1 from MSoft to
date no replies when I send an email asking what happened and a
supervisor sent it back unopened. Sure is a long 7 - 15 business day
as it is just about 2 months on the 18th.
