If you are one of the people that had problems installing Vista SP1 last month, Microsoft says they have fixed the problem and automatic distribution will resume tomorrow. If you’ve already installed SP1 without any problems then you do not have to do anything.

To clear up any concerns for those of you who have already installed the update: There is no problem with the files that make up the Servicing Stack Update (KB937287); the problem some customers encountered was with the installation process for the update. That means if you already have the update installed, you do not need to uninstall it or install the rereleased version of the update.

seems odd but if 1 million did this... and they fixed 1 issue... are they not risking another batch of 1million .. giving new auto install bugs?

what about legal issues? if they do this in the future... and they implement a forced download that opens up security holes or tracks users and gives databack to them without permission... wouldn't that be a sham as well?
 
can you imagine how responsible they would be for losing our precious porn!
 
I did a full uninstall of the RC SP1 and installed the stand alone SP1 install last week. Not a problem. While I still have some Vista reservations, I can say that it is more stable than XP in my experience.
 
When I installed SP1 for the first time it did its damage. Im not sure what it did was part of this error. What it did was make any Microsoft Office 07 program crash right after it opened, took out my network drivers, the Windows Media Player libraries became corrupt and it couldnt find or add any of my music. So I said fuck it, new install here I come. All my important stuff was backed up on my server so I just had the long task of installing all of my programs...
 
Had no problem installing on a computer with ultimate edition, but it won't install on a VMWARE 6.0.2 build 59824 same ultimate edition. Anyone have the same problem.

Have you tried an image program so as not to have a "long task of installing all of your programs"
 
the original story had a thread with hundreds of satisfied [H]'ers and only a fraction of them had any issues with SP1.

BUT when you multiply the hundreds that respond to a thread by the thousands that don't respond to it and then the thousands of other readers that do not even read the forums, the potential is there to have a handful of people here interested in this update.
 
Already moved back to XP-pro after Vista SP1 hosed my system. Now no more problems.
 
I installed Vista on a new, completely separate system and used it for work for almost two months...the whole time keeping my Win XP box as a "just in case" system.

Ended up not needing it.

My SP1 install went fine as well, I had heard a few horror stories so I made sure I backed up and such before doing the install. Again, ended up not needed it.
