I have program that I need to install on windows 2000 pro, SP1, but the program won't install because it is looking for SP4 Is there any way to tweak windows to make it look like it has SP4, to this program so it will install anyway? (Don't want to install SP4 because I need this PC clean SP1 patch only) thanks MC
Probably not, unless you know exactly what file / registry entry the install is checking "MC" wrote in message news:uDfNn$RLIHA.5360@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I have program that I need to install on windows 2000 pro, SP1, but the >program won't install because it is looking for SP4 > Is there any way to tweak windows to make it look like it has SP4, to this > program so it will install anyway? > (Don't want to install SP4 because I need this PC clean SP1 patch only) > > thanks > MC
That is exactly what I like to know, where does a program look at to determine if windows 2000 has Service Pack level 1, 2 3 or 4? I am sure it is looking at a registry key or a single file to determine if windows has right patch level.

What it checks would be determined by what the programmer selected, which could be any number of items "MC" wrote in message news:%23NjurpTLIHA.1168@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > That is exactly what I like to know, > where does a program look at to determine if windows 2000 has Service Pack > level 1, 2 3 or 4? > I am sure it is looking at a registry key or a single file to determine if > windows has right patch level. > MC > > > "DL" <address@invalid> wrote in message > news:%23NHCLeTLIHA.5224@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> Probably not, unless you know exactly what file / registry entry the >> install is checking >> >> "MC" wrote in message >> news:uDfNn$RLIHA.5360@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >>>I have program that I need to install on windows 2000 pro, SP1, but the >>>program won't install because it is looking for SP4 >>> Is there any way to tweak windows to make it look like it has SP4, to >>> this program so it will install anyway? >>> (Don't want to install SP4 because I need this PC clean SP1 patch only) >>> >>> thanks >>> MC >> >> >
