Need SP2

« on: November 05, 2007, 05:10:47 PM »

Just had to re-install XP using a license that was for pre sp1!

So I now need to download and install SP2.

Questions.

Can I install SP2 without SP1?
M$ don't seem to be giving me the option of dowloading SP1 or SP2. Is there a way I can still get them?
Because our Internet connection is soooooooooooooo slow at work I'd prefer to download them at home, burn to CD and then install on the computer at work. Is this possible? How?

SP2 includes all the SP1 updates. In other words...yes.

Use the link I posted above. It's a big fat EXE that runs SP2 installation without needing the net.

Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
And the science gets done, and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive
