Excellent, Richard, thank you very much!
Before proceeding, some further questions arise for Richard or anyone who knows...
There were 2 versions of SP1 - SP1 contained the MS Virtual Machine and following the acrimonious legalities with Sun, MS was required to release SP1a WITHOUT the MSVM. (I have both SP1 and SP1a on a CD, so can use either as necessary.)
Presumably under the same legal constraint, SP2 does not contain the MSVM.[list=1][*]Do I (or does anyone) need to retain MSVM on a Windows system?
[*]If I wanted to retain the MSVM on my machines would I have to do a 2-step integration, the first with SP1 to force inclusion of an updated MSVM, followed by an integration of SP2?
[*]Seeing that MS is no longer allowed to distribute MSVM, what, if anything, would I be losing if I did not integrate SP1 first?
[*]Would the old, unupdated MSVM still be installed (as it is part of the original XP disk to which we are integrating)?
[*]If it is, what are the security implications if not updated with SP1?
[*]If it isn't, what functionality does one lose by not having MSVM on a Windows machine?[/list=1]
Thanks in advance
