Vista - Announcing Windows Vista SP2 Beta

You were able to install the .ISO properly ? Did you get it from MSDN download website ?

It look like the .ISO from MSDN website is corrupt... can't mount it or anything.

Thanks !

There was nothing wrong with mine. Downloaded and burn uneventful.

However from later today - NOTE LATER TODAY

Vista Service Pack 2 beta goes public

If you're the type who enjoys paper cuts, tight-fitting shoes, and tax planning, you'll want to know about the public beta of Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. You can now visit this page to sign up for Microsoft's Customer Preview Program (CPP) and volunteer as a Vista SP2 tester.

According to a post on the Windows Vista blog by Windows Product Management VP Mike Nash, the CPP is intended for "technology enthusiasts, developers, and IT pros" who want to test the service pack on their networks. Nash recommends that "most customers" wait to install the final release of the service pack.

I'll go even further: most Vista users should wait until several weeks after the service pack's final release to install it. That way, you can let the early adopters work through all the service pack's inevitable glitches and incompatibilities.

You know what they say: you can tell the pioneers because they're the ones with the arrows sticking out of their backs.

XP Service Pack 3 blocks .NET security patches

Did you uninstall SP2 pre-beta (that is if you installed the full version) . This cannot be installed over it. Also you must have SP1 to install this.

The download is available for public !

Rule 1 - Dont piss the Admin off when he has just woken up

That was absolutely uncool and unnecessary, now we have to deal with a pissed off Administrator for the day.

Sudafed and maybe some beachams

Hi there, I got Service Pack 2 from the link that FrAgZoU posted and after starting the installation and one restart I got the following error: Service Pack installation failed with error code 0x800704c7.

Does anybody knows what might be the problem?
I am using some third party themes for my desktop, is this an issue?
