Service Pack 1 is a prerequisite for installing Service Pack 2. Please make sure that your system is running Service Pack 1 before you install Service Pack 2.

SP2 won't install unless you've got SP1 already on.

Ahh suck it up. You get a nice sense of satisfaction when you install a service pack anyway so now you get to experience it twice.

Yes a nice sense of satisfaction of adding an extra 30 to 60minutes to do a fresh install just waiting for Sp1 to install...

Takes longer to install SP1 then it does to install vista :mad:
