XP SP2 RC2

[rampel]

I upgraded to SP2 RC1, then found RC2 of the same and tried to upgrade but it didn't work

I wanted to uninstall SP2 RC1 but I don't see it as an option in "Add/Remove Programs" control panel

Any one had the same problem?

Got an idea / suggestion?

specifically: How to go back to my original settings: XP Pro Corp + SP1 (without erasing my HD and re-installing completely)

TIA

I would erase that last part about your operating system name..... Saying corp around here is like saying you got it warez even if you didnt lol.

Either use System Restore (unless you were foolish enough to turn it off before installing beta, unsupported software), or get into the Recovery Console and use the uninstallation batch file that's in the Windows directory somewhere, usually under $ServicePackUninstall$.

Yap, I was foolish enough to turn off system restore

How do I get into the recovery console, is it in the cli interface?

Just click on the checkbox that says 'Show Updates' and SP1 should be listed in add/remove
