Can't get sp2162 to overwrite 2149!.

[haloeighty8]

Anyone have any idea on how I can force 2162 to install over 2149, what I did was made a slipstreamed version of winxp with 2149. So I can't uninstall it!!. I really don't want to do a fresh install.. any help would be appreciated! Thanks..

You can update using WU but you need to add a registry key in your registry for WU to see the upgrade. You will have to look for the key but it is easy to find.

that is wrong !

if you made a windows slipstream you SHOULD NOT use WU to upgrade to the latest build. WU itself even warns you about doing this.

Well then how should I do it? I grabbed it off the newsgroups.. the full install of 2162 and it comes up with a message still telling me I can't upgrade over the current version.

Hi,

If you create a .txt file and paste in the following and rename it Install.XP.SP2.over.SP2.reg and double-click, it will delete 2 Registry values that should enable you to install 2169 over 2142.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]"CSDVersion"=-

"CSDBuildNumber"=-

BTW, it should be OK to do install 2169 over 2142 this way, but you take the risk, not me.

You could name it Turn.into.Longhorn.Server.1998.reg and it would do the same thing :rofl:

Filenames mean nothing people :yes:

And your point is. :sleep:

I must say, that is a strange attitude for a Forum Moderator to have.

A question was asked and a solution posted, isn't that the point of these discussion forums. :sleep:

I tried installing 2162 over 2149 without doing anything else, worked perfectly.

Been running on my computer 3 days now.
