Windows XP SP2 RC2 Now released!


Recommended Posts

mine was 115 even though it said 100 on update....and after I restarted it repaired msn messenger for some reason...anyone else get that?

well i guess it was scanning to see what we needed.. I installed all previous updates before going.. perhaps that is why my package is smaller??? :pinch: I hope.. would be a waste of a whole 20 minutes haha :rofl:

<3 dsl

,Jun 15 2004, 16:04] When i tried using windowsupdate, the download was 100mb, probably cause i already have rc1 installed

Btw does sp2 contain all fixes,etc that are in sp1, so that theres no need to install sp1, then 2. I take it, it does.

i have rc1 installed also... strange how mine is in the 70mb range..

I installed sp2 rc2 and when my computer rebooted it had a diff boot screen. The bar was blue and it didnt say windows xp home just windows xp. I got it from windows update.

O ya hi every one I am new here :D

Aw, you spoiled the surprise :laugh: :p

Bah, mine's still failing at the 1.6 MB mark on Windows Update.  :hmmm:

Did your download fail or just appear to hang up? Mine appeared to hang at 1.6 mb but I think that it downloaded 1.6 mb of stuff and then did some analysis of my system. When it resumed downloading after a few minutes the size of the download dropped from 100 mb to 95.8 mb.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
