I think you are seeing things - or you didn't install the RTM.

Nothing like that in the EULA I am looking at - on any of the machines I
have installed it on. Nothing about 180, one hundred eighty or anything
similar.

You have a "Pre Release" version. Not the full SP2
Just read the screen shot you posted.

Did you notice the prefix in front of the word 'release'?

Not everyone has this. I don't, for example. Apparently those who
installed over earlier versions have this there, but those who
didn't, don't.

Well, since your screenshot not only clearly states "Prerelease version" as
well as the version is not the 2180 of the RTM, I again state - and with
your proof in hand - that you have installed the PRE-RELEASE and not the
OFFICIAL "Released to Manufacturing" Service Pack 2. (Build 2180)

It's great when people post pictures to prove my point for me. *grin*

Also - no matter WHAT Microsoft says - I would UNINSTALL the prerelease
versions FIRST before installing the Full Release. Why take the chance?

I absolutely concur about first uninstalling a pre-release version even when
Microsoft the version you have is an approved installation path. However,
we are seeing this anomaly on most systems wherein a legit version of RTM
SP2 was installed over a pre-release version approved for upgrade to SP2.

Yeah - I read a little more and came back to add this part because it did
seem to be a more common problem than I would have thought - surprising it
would not overwrite the EULA!

So do we need to uninstall SP2, then reinstall or is there anything we

Hi Joe
I can't say I'm seeing that on any of my machines here, have you upgraded on
the final build over the top of an evaluation beta or release candidate
version?

Hi Mark.

Hmmm...

My EULA says that, too. I had downloaded SP2 RTM from MSDN on 8/6/04,
burned a CD from that, and installed SP2 from that CD, without first
uninstalling Build 2149 (RC1).

The WinVer screen says:
"Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 : Service Pack 2)"

And the EULA starts:
"180 Day License

"Prerelease Version of Service Pack 2 for
Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Home,
Media Center, or Tablet PC Edition"

Where did you get your copy of SP2 RTM, Joe?

It appears not to matter from where you downloaded it, as long as it is
legit. The problem seems to appear when a user has installed over a beta
build even if it was an approved upgrade path to RTM.

The RTM EULA is there, it's just not linked to the box that appears when you
use winver to determine your version.

Well, no one has had it yet for 180 days so we really don't know for sure
what's going to happen. I can tell you that several MVPs have this issue
and thus far none of those with whom I have contact are uninstalling. We've
done some checks on those systems of the properties of Kernel32.dll where
Version should be 5.1.2500.2180 and the versions appear correct. No one
thus far is having any issues as a result of this.
