What is the upgrade path from SP1 RC to SP1 RTM?

What will I need to do to install the RTM Vista SP1 if I install the RC1 SP1
now?

Thank you for the info!

Uninstall the SP, then reinstall the release once available.

Well, that sucks. Looks like I'll be waiting for the RTM. Thank you for the
info!

A smarter decision anyway unless you are doing this on a testbed machine.

It is a quasi test machine that I'd create an image from for testing
deployments, but I can certainly wait a while longer for the RTM. I just want
to start playing with it now!

You may be able to upgrade without uninstalling the beta, but it it is
not advisable.
You should uninstall the Beta before installing the final version.
Release Candidate (RC) are Beta just as much as other earlier
versions.
