Dear John. Lovely Lad as you are...

..can you guarantee that If I pop into my local Game shop and thrust £60 into the hot, sweaty hands of the proprietor, take FSX home with me and attempt to install it, I wont get this message pop up....

"Warning: This programs requires Service Pack 2. If it is not in place the install will fail....trust us".

If I cannot get my £60 program to install without SP 2, I shall arrive on your doorstep, post haste, to remonstrate with you for giving me duff information....  Angry...!

I will say this only once...

Service Pack 2 WILL NOT install on my original OEM version of Windows XP Pro!

...Repeat....WILL NOT...!
(Uncle Bill has told me so!).

Try as you may, to sell me Uncle Bills SP 2 add-on...!

Paul...Wink...!

P.S. Do you have shares in Service Pack 2...?

Hi Fozzer - when SP2 fails to install what exactly is the error message? Erm, I'm trying to think how to write this without getting banned...I have a legal copy of XP pro which Microsoft  doesn't think is legal and so won't allow me to download updates and instead want me to pay for a new license. So... to get updates I have to go to certain websites and do naughty things to Windows.  I would much rather I didn't have to do this but I also like security updates as well. What I'm saying is there's probably a workaround.


Hi Hypo....Wink...!

I get your message...LOL.... Wink...!

It's all to do With Bill's Paranoid Security System, regarding upgrading Windows XP involving certain OEM installers registration letters/numbers.... Wink...!

I really am quite happy with my original OEM SP 1, I don't have any problems with running it, and its fancy Firewalls, etc, are of no importance to me.... Grin...!

The only thing I am concerned about are various reports from the ACES design team, etc,  that it will be necessary to have SP 2 in place for the FSX install to work successfully..
(Without it, the install will fail...apparently).

Paul...Wink...!

P.S. Ta for the heads-up re: upgrading.... Wink...!

...you disappoint me Comm...You finally gave in to "He Who Must Be Obeyed"....Cry...!
With SP 2, Uncle Bill will now be aware of your every key-stroke and peering back at you from your monitor...Shocked...!

I always thought you were much stronger than that, and were able to resist the temptation...
It seems that we all fall by the wayside in time.... Embarrassed...!

Cheers Comm....

Ok Fozz
This is what you need to do!! I don't know if you live in SE England close to London but if you do you're in luck. You need to goto one of the monthly computer fairs
see http://www.britishcomputerfairs.com/
There you can acquire quite cheaply a pucker copy of XP Pro ie one that's not OEM. When you get home delete your XP directory and install the new version in it's place. Yes, it's a bit tedious having to reinstall other programs in order to recreate the registry. As far as FS9 goes reinstalling doesn't seem to affect the scenery and a/c files etc. And you can create a backup copy of the cfg file  to replace the newly generated one on fresh install. Then you can decide as to whether or not to install SP2.
Despite what has been said many times on this forum the pucker Windows XP Pro (UK english version) does NOT need to be registered. Remember that we are in the EU which means we do NOT have to register with Uncle Bill in order to run the programme!!
As you may know M(qualcosa)s is not allowing third parties access to Vista coding so in theory we would only be able to use Uncle Bill's "very own" virus checker! Amongst other things!!!! The EU has said that unless M(qualcosa)s gives in they won't be able to sell Vista in Europe as it contravenes the previous legal decision against them.
Vololiberista


PS Anyone who has XP Home is shot! As it will not reinstall onto a new motherboard. So you can't upgrade!!!
 
Andiamo in Italia&&...
