.net 2003 <--->sp4 W2k

[Shurik12]

Hi,

Have a question concerning the following. I have W2K SP2 and .NET 2002. The other day I decided to upgrade to .NET 2003.
Now I got to know that SP4 for W2K is highly desirable for the installation (correct?).
What really scares me off is the immense amount of negative feedbacks from people who installed SP4 on their machines
(it just seems to be a pure nightmare if you read all those posts)


The question is: has someone around upgraded from .NET 02 to
.NET 03 on W2K machine? Any related information to the issue could be of a great help too.

Regards,
Shurik.

Isnt Service Pack 4 still in Beta until April or May?

SP4 is Beta? I dont think so.
I installed it as well as .NET 03 without any problems.

Sorry, i was confusing it with Windows XP Service Pack 2 that is currently in Beta.

Im running VS 2003 on W2K with SP4 and have had no problems whatsoever?

Thanks for your responses.

Thats the point with SP4 (in its current state) its installation seems to remind a lottery.
I just got know that SP3 is very likely to be enough to run the .NET 03 installation.
Will give it a shot.

Just to add, my employer of some 4000+ has a very large IT department/infrastructure etc and test things to death before pushing updates out to users PCs.

SP4 was pushed out some time ago and there has been no negative feedback from the staff

Well thats a good news about SP4 in general then.
