According to the site, you need to give it 15 minutes for the previous update to finish its self install. Trying on the VM now to see if it'll work.

I hadn't entered any product key, was down to 3 days for activation, and SP1 gave me another 30 days.) One benefit seen immediately - since I built the machine to test dial-up, those connections previously reported 14.4Kbps, now they say 45.2Kbps. No other change besides SP1. Startup/login time seems almost the same. Carl _____ From: Jon Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 12:34 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Vista SP1 ready... Yeah yeah keep it up guys just because you can get to the SP 1 does not mean the rest of us poor folk can. ;> Now I have to wait until it is released to WSUS to get it out and installed.
