I believe I read somewhere that Microsoft has relesed a new build of
vista...54XX I believe.

I ran windows update, but I still have build 5384. How do I get the new
build?
 
You can't. It would not be on Windows Update anyway. Participants in the
CPP do not recieve interim builds.

The next version of Vista available to CPP will be RC1.

No new interim build is on Microsoft Connect for TechBeta participants now,
so it appears that you have seen only a rumor.

It is likely that TechBeta is about to receive a new interim build but if
you have not been participating in that program you will not have access.
TechBeta enrollment closed a year ago.
 
Windows Update will not update the version of Vista.
Build 5456 is the latest build for the Technical Beta testers.
Build 5384 is the latest public release and the build you probably have if
you are participating in the Customer Preview Program.
You may get a new build in the next month or so, but only Microsoft know if
or when.
 
You don't. Windows Update does not provide new builds. The next build
available to people who signed up for the Customer Preview Program will be
RC1.
 
Jane,
will there be an RC2?.
I know it might require you looking into your glass ball :) but I thought
there's no harm in asking.
 
There may be a New Windows Vista CTP Coming Soon (for Technical Beta
Tester's, MSDN Subscriber's and Microsoft Tech Net Plus Subscriber's), at
least according to the Microsoft Windows Vista Error Reporting Software, it
will most likely Not be a CPP, however, Just FYI.
 
An interim build for TechBeta (but not necessarily for MSDN) is indeed
imminent.
 
"at least according to the Microsoft Windows Vista Error Reporting Software"
Be careful what you read into the report.
A statement that the issue is resolved does not even suggest anything is
coming soon.
The most that MAY be guessed is that POSSIBLY the issue is resolved in a
later build.
Since there are regularly new builds that the groups you list never see
nothing can be assumed.

Or did the message specifically state "Vista CTP"?
Please post the exact message for clarification.
 
Jupiter,

The message does say it is a CTP. Here is the exact message that I received
earlier-


Error fixed in upcoming Microsoft Vista Customer Technology Preview release


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for participating in the Microsoft Beta program and sending an
error report.

Problem description

will be fixed in an upcoming Microsoft Vista Customer Technology Preview
release.

Solution

Thank you for the exact message, that makes it more clear.

A CTP is imminent, but whether is soon or not, only Microsoft knows.Also
that does not indicate whether there will be other builds released to the
tech Beta or other groups before a CTP comes along.
Kevin seem to want to assume it is soon, but that is not stated or even
implied.
We will all just have to wait and see.
Generally any predictions are pointless since they stand a good probability
of being wrong.
 
The Next Build Will Most Likely be a CTP Build Rather Than an Interim Build
in Order to Please Microsoft's Angry Stock Investor's, Just FYI. According
to Several Financial Sources, Microsoft's Angry Stock Investor's Want
Microsoft to Push Quality Over Quantity, in Each Monthly Windows Vista
Release. In Other Word's, Microsoft's Angry Stock Investor's Like Stable
CTP Releases and Hate Unstable Interim Releases, Also Just FYI.

I think people in this newsgroup...set up predominately to help the CPP
people..are getting confused on naming conventions.

As I understand it:
Interim builds are made every day but just used in-house for the most part.
There are other interim builds that are sent out for specific beta tests(the
German MCE build)
CTP is for Connect and other TechBeta participants(some of whom are MSDN
members)
and
CPP...which was were anyone with an email address can sign up..with 2
million participants or so.

Therefore..
Interim builds are currently being used that at 5472/5477 and higher.
CTP/Technet are currently testing 5456
CPP is 5384

What does a stockholder have to do with beta software? Stock holders want
MSFT to make money...since they are not making any money on their beta
software, it does not matter who the betas go to..

p.s. Aren't you the person who constantly told us that Private betas had
been cancelled due to the enormous amount of bugs reported by the CPP?
 
Whoops...there is another layer in the link.

CTP is sometimes only for developers (but not Connect Members)
The Visual Studio July SDK requires their users to run it ONLY on build
5472, which was not released to CPP, nor Connect/Technet members..
 
And some builds only go to TAP users.
