j4ever Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 well hopefully august 4th is the release date on the web, and RTM comes sometime this week! if RTM is in the build strings, it should be this week. plus, i recently installed 2162 and it is so much better than RC2. my computer is not running slow like rc2 made it and it hasnt crashed yet! lets go rtm!

ElliottLan Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 although rtm would be mighty cooo... i think rtm has been in the build strings for at least a week now, or at least 6 days anyway :( Literally 100s of people are just waiting to reformat :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/75970-the-sp2-thread-reloaded/page/44/#findComment-2561991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypx Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Unfortunately I installed winxp with sr2 rc2 slipstreamed. Because of that I am unable to install the 2162 build. Is there a work around for this? Thanks. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/75970-the-sp2-thread-reloaded/page/44/#findComment-584253533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan V Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 IMPORTANT Please read the following:? Build 2162 will be visible on the WU v5 site only if the following conditions are met: o Windows XP is the operating system o A special registry key is set ? Build 2162 may only be installed over non-slipstreamed installs of Windows XP SP2. ? Build 2162 is only compatible with the following builds of Windows XP SP2: o Windows XP RTM o Windows XP SP1 o Windows XP SP2 RC1 build 2096 o Windows XP SP2 RC2 build 2149 ? If you are using an interim build of Windows XP SP2, you should re-image your hard drive with a compatible version of Windows XP. Returning to a system restore point is also supported. So according to that, I belive there is no way to install 2162 over your slipstreamed copy. If it wasn't a slipstream copy of RC2 then you would have been able to install 2162 over RC2 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/75970-the-sp2-thread-reloaded/page/44/#findComment-584253573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant we? BTW, what are the differences between RTM and RTW? Will RTW contain more latest built files?
