As expected, Windows Vista Service Pack 2 RC and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 RC is now available to general public for download. You can download the SP2 RC for both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 below: - ISO for Windows Server 2008 x86/x64/ia64 and Windows Vista x86/x64
- x86 for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista x86
- x64 for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista x64
- IA64 for Windows Server 2008 ia64
The service pack is delivered as a single release for both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. There will be a single 32-bit standalone installer (302 MB to 390 MB) for both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. However, there will be two 64-bit standalone installers, including one which covers x64 architectures (508 MB to 622 MB) and one for Itanium 64-bit (384 MB to 396 MB) Even though the download page and TechNet website still says its SP2 beta, the download file name reveals that this is indeed the SP2 RC build - 6002.16670.090130-1715_iso_update_sp_wave0-RCSP2.0_DVD.iso. This build is the same build sent out to select testers last week.

Please make sure that your system is running Service Pack 1 before you install Service Pack 2.This post has been edited by fariz: Mar 4 2009, 08:35 PM |

Fail to install this Service Pack Update....  After waiting about 30 minutes at stage Install Updates 3 of 3 100%, suddenly it said " Service Pack did not install.. Reverting Changes...  Fuhh...have to wait another 15 minutes for the reverting process..  And after last restart, got notification at windows that Installation was not successful. An unknown error has occurred. Error 0xc004f013 |

i think we would be better off with a alpha/beta version of windows7 than whatever service pack that vista team comes with... - more service packs mean more problematic OS, cos micro$oft almost never add new features in service packs unless absolutely necessary... mostly are bugfixes...
look at the size of that service pack...

lol Service Packs will always be part of Windows' releases ... it's Vista SP1 that made Vista SP0 more stable/accessible/compatible ... MS is so eager to get W7 out just to fix their sales performance  |
