I finally got around to replacing my beta version of Vista SP1 today - I hadn't done it to date due to the hassle of needing to uninstall it first before installing the new one.
However, after waiting a good half an hour to uninstall it, and then another half an hour to install the final version, I checked in system properties and found that it still listed the same version number as before (668, rather than just SP1).
Yes, in classic numpty fashion I discovered I had run the wrong executable from my drivers dir when installing SP1 again - I figured because it was called "wave1" rather than "wave0", and was also a larger file size, that it was the later version. I just assumed and didn't check the datestamp!
What made it doubly annoying is that it meant I had to go through the whole process again - a prolonged un-install process before I could even begin installing the correct SP.
Anyone else done something as stupid?
