We are available to a limited group of testers the Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (Pre-Beta). With a simple trick to apply to the Windows Registry appears able to download it directly from Windows Update.
Learn everything you need to know about SP2.
There is now no longer any doubt, Microsoft is actually working on SP2 for Windows Vista. This is a great mega paccone between 290.7MB and 296.9MB identified as Build 6002.16489. There should be no new features coming, SP2 would only represent a collection of updates released so far.
Applying the hack you can download the 'hotfix KB955430 that will magically appear SP2 on Windows Update. Open Notepad and copy the code below, save the file as "servicepackdue.bat" clik and run over.
@echo off
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSp2 /f > NUL 2>&1
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSP2 /f > NUL 2>&1
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSp2 /v Beta1 /t REG_SZ /d C21A5C64-2530-CC19-042F-9ABDB4ED27F9 /f
IF NOT %errorlevel% == 0 ( goto ERROR)
:SUCCESS
@echo.
echo ================================================== =========
echo Windows Vista SP2 registry key has been set successfully.
echo Please check for updates in Windows Update.
echo ================================================== =========
@echo.
goto END
:ERROR
@echo.
echo ================================================== =========
echo FAILED to set Windows Vista SP2 registry keys.
echo Please run this script by right clicking and selecting
echo "Run as Administrator".
echo ================================================== =========
@echo.
goto END
:END
pause
I honestly do not run to try to install this SP2, with time running better keep away from possible trouble, the beta testing we will do later.
