Anyone tried installing SP2 over SP1 with WMP10 beta?

Or is it better to rid of WMP10 beta first?

I read it causes problems.

SP2 tries to update WMP to version 9 but if you are already on 10 it is a mess.

Worked fine for me. WMP10 is still on there, build 3615.

3615!

Is that the one in the XP media edition or something?

I only have the 3473
