SP2 Removal

**BouncingSoul** · May 18th, 2006

I hate our software vendors.... who makes stuff that doesn't support SP2 these days?

Anyways....

Is there anyway to remove SP2 on a system where sp2 was installed with xp and not through a windows update. There is a knowledge base article that gives steps but they don't seem to work and I think its cause sp2 came preinstalled. I'm not sure though, any ideas?

Almost sounds like you should reimage these pc's It would be a lot faster.

Was afraid you'd say that .... nice sig too!

no if SP2 was intergrated with XP, it would be like trying to uninstall individual bits of XP. Either a fresh install with just sp1 or will just that...

Now we get to see if we have non-sp2 install disk around. If not ... Win2k. GREAT!

Thanks for all the help.

What did you have in the end?

We gotta go win2k.

I think i have an xp disk with just sp1 on it if you'd like me to send it to you.

Disclaimer, of course you would need a legit XP key for it to work.

Thanks for the offer but we already put win2k on. We tore our vendor a new one and hopefully their next update will include sp2 support.
