Why doesn't the Windows Component installer want all files to be from SP2?

[Guest Spin]

Gurus,

 

If I install Windows components on my Windows Server 2003 SP2 computer, I

first get prompted for the location of the Windows Server 2003 SP2 CD-ROM

and I point the installer to the C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles directory.

Then I et prompted for the location of the original Windows Server 2003

CD-ROM, which means I have to point it to the CD-ROM drive, which only

contains the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM (with SP1) media. Then the

installer is happy and finishes it's job.

 

My question is, why does the installer ask to pull files from the SP2 CD-ROM

directory only to later ask for files from the SP1 CD-ROM? Why wouldn't it

want all files to be from the SP2?
