SP1 refused to install on most vLite'd installs of original Vista, so to keep things custom we had to use vLite to integrate SP1 and customize the install.

It would be nice to be able to just install SP2 onto my system as-is, then delete anything it keeps around for uninstalling SP2.

sp2 won't install on a vlited sp1?!

I haven't tried to install SP2 yet, would be nice to know what can be removed with vLite, while adding SP1, and still be able to install SP2.

Been doing some research and looks like for the first time Microsoft has released a non-cumulative service pack so SP1 must be installed before SP2.

It also looks like the author of vLite isn't going to "step up to the plate" and update it to integrate SP2, so we're back to the 'reverse integration' method. I'll have to find somewhere to shift a few gigs of files to do that- then I'll be stuck with all the crap I removed from Vista Ultimate SP1 using vLite.

If you removed components from your vLite'd SP1, then no, SP2 won't install. Otherwise, if you haven't removed anything, then I believe there's a registry key you have to remove in order to get SP2 to install (search the board - it's been mentioned tons of times).

I haven't installed SP2 until;
I had installed version 6000, then update SP1, and then update SP2.
Version 6001 that has been integrated update SP1 by using vLite, will not work during install update SP2.

yes, german users also discovered this. Integrating Sp1 into a DVD with offline Hacks (vLite) causes trouble while installing Sp2.
