Hi guys,

its been a while. just have an important quesion about vista build. is there a way to hack or tweak a CSD version or build number of a Vista RTM to make other programs think its an SP1 or SP2? this is possible in XP.

also if there is no way, well can it be done by at least replacing a specific file using "replacer" maybe?

tia,

cheers,

Installing SP is such a pain. Being a technician, we normally resort to running CheckSur, Check disk, SFC /SCNANOW, to address SP2 installation issues. Repair install would be the most helpful but does not guarantee a resolution specially if the disc does not have any Service pack at all or If a customer for example does not have any Disc. (sometimes they only have oem recovery disc)

Vista RTM is EOL, so there are no new Updates. Update at least to Sp1, but better to Sp2
