Guest Tony Sperling Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Integration/Slipstream The 'Trial' was never meant to be upgradeable - you try it, by an OEM and make a clean install - or you will sometimes have the option to do a Repair Install on to that version, which in effect is sort of an upgrade. I can only guess that the trial is missing some piece that the Service Packs would need to do it's integration trick. In short, the trial is not meant to be the source for slipstreaming, and in the end you'd probably not want to keep such an installation, because it might give you trouble? SP1 was already built-in with the trial and doesn't have to be slipstreamed. What you might want to do, is to slipstream the SP2 into the Realease Version, not the Trial. Tony. . .

Guest Charlie Russel - MVP Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Integration/Slipstream The Eval version doesn't support slipstreaming, apparently. (SP1 is already part of XP x64.) Once you have the full version, I'm sure you'll be able to slipstream if that's what you want to do. Personally, I'm a bit reluctant, since there are definitely some machines where I'm avoiding SP2 for the moment.
