I"m sure this has been covered before and appologies but I have not been on
the newgroup in a long time.
I have a build of several devices in SP1 and I'm needing to move to SP2. Is
there a link on the MS webiste on upgrading? Do I just download a file for
the update? Where?
I was planning to install my TD onto a different PC for this and do all the
updates to SP2 and make a fresh build.
Thx

David
 
The Image Difference Tool is the best way to upgrade an image from SP1 to
SP2. The key is to make sure you setup the iDIFF.XML file to list the items
that need to transfer from SP1 image to the final update.

good info.
Maybe I should rephrase.
Yes, I want to make a new build but using SP2.
This is all new hardware so I don't need to upgrade in the field.
I have TD installed with SP1.
I just need to upgrade my PC 2 SP2.
Where to find simple How to?
Free download?

I was thinking of Installing my original SP1 TD then downloading upgrade
files for SP2?

Or can I download the trial version of TD w/ SP2 and just input my
registration KEY?

David,

If you are planning on building licensed images you will need the Full version of the tools. Contact your XPe distributor so that
they can provide it to you or Microsoft.
 
Forgot to mention about FP2007.
It is highly recommend that if you upgrade to SP2 you also pick up the FP2007. It is quite nice toolkit upgrade as well as some
great features added such as USB 2.0 boot, Registry filter, etc.
 
If I already have a liscenced copy of TD w/ SP1, will I be charged for it or
just something my reseller provides (Avnet)?
 
I can't answer that question. It is between you and your XPe distributor.

IIRC, the SP2 and FP2007 was free of charge for those who have purchased full version of the product (SP1).
