Hi - I am waiting for my cd to arrive of the sp2. I was
wondering if when I do choose to install the new sp2, if
I need to uninstall the sp1 or does it replace it
automatically. sp2 is a 75 MB file and dont want to hog
up any space if I dont have to.thanks
 
Hi

There is no need to uninstall SP1. The SP2 update is cumulative so will
install what is needed.

Hi

No, do not uninstall SP1, SP2 will just install itself on top of SP1.


For folders you can consider deleting and other disk cleanup tips
after a SP2 installation, take a look here:
