Vista x64 SP1

[Guest Chris Cowles]

I just bought a new HP m9100t with VHPx64. I'm happy with it so far. I

have a full retail license for Vista Ultimate and a technet

subscription allowed me to download Vista Ultimate SP1 x64.

 

I tried to upgrade the VHPx64 using SP1x64 but it wouldn't let me. It

said I could only upgrade SP1 to SP1. I used my retail Ultimate x64

DVD to upgrade the OEM VHP x64. There were no problems.

 

Is there any way to use the technet SP1 full install DVD to apply SP1

to the existing OEM install?

Re: Vista x64 SP1

 

Have you tried using just the SP1 x64 package, not the full

Vista x64 w/SP1 package?

No. Where would I find that?

Re: Vista x64 SP1

 

They are supposed to be on the 1st page when you log in to

TechNet, but there seems to be intermittent problems with

them showing up. I downloaded them a couple of weeks ago,

but I don't see the Top Downloads today.

 

Instead of see this in the gray box:

 

Top Subscriber Downloads

If you were a TechNet Plus Subscriber, you would be able to

initiate downloads of select products directly from here.

 

Not a TechNet Plus subscriber? Find out more.

 

you should see the links for the SP1 packages.

 

Unless they have been removed.

However, there remain driver issues for some users.

 

It will be available through WU sometime in the next few weeks. I suggest

that you simply wait.

I found it. I have a brand new computer so driver issues are unlikely

but I really don't want to screw it up before I even get to use it. I

will wait. I have lots of other stuff to do to make it usable.

Re: Vista x64 SP1

 

Well, Colin, your link does give visibility of the Top

Downloads after I login, but when I just start at the

TechNet page it's random for me. Wish I could understand

what the glitch is.

Re: Vista x64 SP1

 

I am not a TechNet subscriber so I don't know. SP1 was only up a short time

on WU (apparently by mistake). I upgraded through participation in the

Techbeta program so I don't know if it is currently available on TechNet or

was withdrawn again at the time it was withdrawn from WU. The hold has to

do with installation issues on some computers rather than SP1 itself. I

would just wait. It can't be much longer before it all gets squared away.

Re: Vista x64 SP1

 

Hello,

 

From what I gather, The Vista x64 SP1 was pulled for now because of a

security issue. All of the download pages on ms downloads all lead to a not

found error.

It was not a security issue. It was a premature offering.

Re: Vista x64 SP1

 

xGamer:

Vista x64 SP1 wasn't pulled for security reasons, it was pulled due

to an installation conflict on some systems. I run the Vista Enterprise x64

version which is on the software assurance program. The updated version

which includes SP1 has been available for download for a few weeks. Have a

great day.

Re: Vista x64 SP1

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "pulled"? Windows Vista SP1 is not scheduled

to go onto MS Downloads or WU publicly until mid-March. It is available now

to MSDN and TechNet Plus subscribers, plus of course the OEMs have it to

test with and set up their custom images before it goes "live".

 

As for the 'install issue" being referred to, perhaps you mean the contents

of the Windows Vista team blog. I recommend reading:

 

http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2008/03/03/language-packs-and-windows-vista-sp1.aspx

 

and

Re: Vista x64 SP1

 

SP1 was available on WU for 1-2 days. I installed it from WU on 2/21 by

2/23 it had been pulled. Many want to know why.

Chuck:

Thank you for the links giving an explanation. For me I rebuilt one

system with the SP1 disk without any problems and my other systems will wait

for WU. Have a great day.
