The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

well hopefully august 4th is the release date on the web, and RTM comes sometime this week! if RTM is in the build strings, it should be this week. plus, i recently installed 2162 and it is so much better than RC2. my computer is not running slow like rc2 made it and it hasnt crashed yet! lets go rtm!

Hey all,

With RTM only days away... and RTW soon to follow. I'm going on holiday :no:. So I have asked Cream to look after the SP2 Thread few its last (and probably most important) days/weeks.

Thanks to Cream and all of you who have helped make the thread what it is...

:cool:

IMPORTANT Please read the following:

?    Build 2162 will be visible on the WU v5 site only if the following conditions are met:

    o    Windows XP is the operating system

    o    A special registry key is set

?    Build 2162 may only be installed over non-slipstreamed installs of Windows XP SP2.

?    Build 2162 is only compatible with the following builds of Windows XP SP2:

    o    Windows XP RTM

    o    Windows XP SP1

    o    Windows XP SP2 RC1 build 2096

    o    Windows XP SP2 RC2 build 2149

?    If you are using an interim build of Windows XP SP2, you should re-image your hard drive with a compatible version of Windows XP. Returning to a system restore point is also supported.

So according to that, I belive there is no way to install 2162 over your slipstreamed copy. If it wasn't a slipstream copy of RC2 then you would have been able to install 2162 over RC2

Yea, I was hoping someone would have a work around by now. The lack of firewire support in rc2 is a pain. Thanks though. :)

5/8/2004: RTM (Release To Manufacturing)

10/8/2004: RTW (Release To Web), Web Release

So we can expect leaked download of the RTM release by 5/8/2004. Cant we?

BTW, what are the differences between RTM and RTW? Will RTW contain more latest built files?

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
