Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RTM x86 leaked


Recommended Posts

Yeah for 64bit you need to give yourself owner rights and full permissions over the dll files :p or just use "take control" linked in that link!

What I mean is that there is a uxtheme.dll inside the sysWOW64 folder as well as in System32 folder. And the size differs from the one in System32. Hence my question.

All I can see is reg hacks to what seem to be beta builds :(

Please google Windows Vista SP1 Refresh 2 Reg ...4 letter word that begins with h...

RC1 Refresh 2 is the same as RTM, don't listen to what anyone else says about it, it was confirmed by MS.

If interested....some of the torrent sites have slipstreamed sp1 into vista. I took my LEGAL

product ID, wiped out a backup laptop drive, installed it and activated it with no problem.

Personally, when a SP comes out, I prefer to wipe and install with the SP slipstreamed.

Finally got my hands on the x64 version and have it installed. I've noticed a little more pep in the system. I tested copying a file, which was SP1 x64 and 726mb. It took about 30 seconds to copy, yay!

For those that are holding off to download the file from Microsoft, it's available on their OEM site. It's a DVD image that contains the standalone installers for SP1 both x86 and x64.

Link is here: http://oem.microsoft.com/downloads/VistaSP...frmcsp0_dvd.img

However, the download speeds are horrific. I'm just about managing 12KB/s. Download does take a while to get going.

Use of a download manager is highly recommended.

There appears to be 2 versions of the standalone installers, and I'm not sure which one is the offical..

The first is the ones that appears days ago that people were downloading from different mirrors.

The MD5s were:

X86: d597866e93bc8f80ecca234c4e9ce5a2

X64: 983308426e8ee7649f53b41f4e5c42d4

However, I downloaded the ISO that contains both of the files, as shown here:

The installers on this disc, have different timestamps and MD5's.

If we compare the 2 x64 installers:

Can anyone shed any light on to which installer is the one to use?

Could you check the actual installers? Have a look inside the actual exe and see what the time stamps etc are inside?

When will people learn, DON'T DOWNLOAD LEADKED FILES I would not have installed it to be honest but people will jump into the fire and get burned.

not again..... :p i guess digital signatures don't mean anything to you?

    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
