FAQ for XP SP2, Answers to those common questions.
This is an effort to provide answers to some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Service Pack 2 for Windows XP.
NOTE: This FAQ is a work in progress, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know. ;)
Q) What's new in SP2?
For the answer to that question, I defer you to Microsoft's document on the subject.
Q) When will build XXXX be released?
At last check, the following are the expected delivery dates:
RC2 = "Any day now, but by June 7, 2004 at the latest." (previously "May 26, 2004.")
RC3? = (unknown)
RTM = "Q3 2004?" (previously "Late July 2004.")
Q) What languages is build XXXX available in?
For the beta, the only available languages are the following:
English
German
Japanese
Upon its release though, SP2 will be available in all of the usual languages.
Q) How do I slipstream build XXXX?
Prior to build 2120, the process was the same as XP SP1 and it still is for non-VLK copies. For the latter though, look here for 2120's fix and here for 2126's fix.
Q) How can I force build XXXX's installation over a previous SP2 build?
Just go to to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wndows NT\ in the Windows Registry and delete the keys CSDBuild and CSDVersion, but user beware of the results. Therefore, fully uninstall any previous builds whenever possible.
Q) Where can I download the modified/patched uxtheme.dll for build XXXX?
Just visit vortex's scratch-pad. Then, look here should you need information on how to properly incorporate this new DLL.
