Can you Uninstall Vista SP1?

Can you uninstall Vista SP1?

Could find a way in the control panel.
No 'How to uninstall Vista SP1' articles on the net
Conclusion, you cannot uninstall Vista SP1.

I would love to be proved wrong

Guy

The reason you cannot uninstall Vista SP1 is because it has not been released
yet, not due until first half 2008.

Uninstall updates here (you'll have to wait for SP1 to be released first):

Control Panel > System and Maintenance > [Windows Update] Installed updates.

But if you happened to install the SP1 Beta (like I had) and wanted to
install the SP1 RC1 (like I wanted to), then uninstalling of the
original SP1 Beta must be done first. The official installation guid
for SP1 RC1 says:

>Use the Control Panel applet "Programs and Features" and select "View
>installed updates" from the top left of the task pane. Under Windows,
>look for "Service Pack for Windows (KB936330).

This worked for me.

The price of jumping the gun. Never install any pre-released Beta on a production machine. Asking for trouble which I now think you have found

Very nice resource. Thanks.

Dear Bob

People keep telling me I have not installed Vista SP1, but I have. I got a
copy from connect.microsoft. My Computer properties say: Service Pack 1
v.275.

Judging by the fact nobody else is replying, the nuance is that it cannot be
removed.

Guy

We won't know until the Service Pack 1 is finished and released to the
public. As for the beta version you apparently have, probably not.
That would have been explained to you when you joined the beta program.
