Hi,

Under what situations did you think that you had to go for SP2 RC1. Did anyone advice you to install that.
And when you were about to install that you would have got a warning saying that this software is not fully tested and shouldnt be used on productive workstations and support is not available for that.
Any how you should have asked in the newsgroups here whether it was necessary to do that installation of SP2.
