Re: Download Windows Vista SP2 Pre-Beta Version by Registry Hack "Get Real" <get[ at ]clue> 10/26/2008 4:02:40 AM Gosh, thanks Benny, I was just sitting here thinking to myself, "Self", (which is what I call myself), "what can I do to my stable Vista SP1 install that could possibly de-stabilize it, so that I might have to go through a full system recovery and reinstall of all my software? Is there some ill-advised registry hack the might let me try out a pre-beta of Vista SP2? Is there anything I can do to make it necessary for me to waste many hours rebuilding my system?" And Benny comes a long and answers my question. Thanks so much! Anybody that installs a pre-beta of anything deserves what they get. <Benny> wrote in message news:OlIvFRxNJHA.3676[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... [Quoted Text] > 1.

Re: Download Windows Vista SP2 Pre-Beta Version by Registry Hack "AJR" <ajrjdr[ at ]comcast.net> 10/26/2008 9:15:44 PM "Get Real" - Agree with the tone of your post 100%. Regisrty values do not appear legitimate - note ",,,Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSp2...." a bogus value - where did the value "VistaSp2" (question reference to Sp2 rather than SP2) - real value would be SP2) come from? Also "...Wow6432Node\...." is a registry setting on 64 bit OS - it provides registry redirection of 32 bit values to prevent corruption of 64 bit registry. SP1 came in two flavors - 32 and 64 bit - seems logical that SP2 would follow same practaice. "Get Real" <get[ at ]clue> wrote in message news:uYZ3z%23xNJHA.4928[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...
