False. Install the SP2 first and then get the updates. I've done it on
dozens of computers with outstanding results. Even though this is from
an MS site, SP2 includes all the updates from the release of SP1 to the
release of SP2 so I don't understand their guidance.


Go to the

You should *never* use Express Install unless you want WGA/N, IE7 and
other flawed crap.
