Build Number for Vista SP1 Refresh
Hi,
I installed SP1, supposedly the "Refresh 1" version, using the "Method 2" instructions here:
Download details: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RC Public Availability Program

However I see elsewhere, the build numbers listed as follows:
* Windows Vista SP1 RC Refresh (Build 17128) – released 01/11/08
* Windows Vista SP1 RC (Build 17052)– released 12/13/07

The logo appearing on my desktop, lower right corner, says "Evaluation copy: build 6001", which doesn't match either of the above.

Does this mean the wrong version of SP1 got installed, or was this number just not updated properly? I find it a little suspicious because I noticed the "Physical Memory Free" number in Task Manager is exactly the same after installing SP1 as before.

Should I de-install SP1 and try installing it again?

Hi bheiser,

many people have had the same problem as you. It is the Beta SP1 from Microsoft Update.

To get rid of it please read this... Get Rid Of and Remove Evaluation Copy Watermark in Vista After Installating SP1 » My Digital Life

regards

Steve
