Can you upgrade Vista RC1 to RC2?

Vista

Has anyone tried upgrading Vista RC1 to RC2? Is it possible? I've got RC1 running at home, don't want to reinstall right now if I have to. If I can upgrade to RC2 I'll do it, otherwise I'll wait for the final release before I start over.

Thanks for the help

I've upgraded from RC1 to RC2 without problems, but I didn't have many programs installed and didn't use RC1 very much.

Thanks Martin, exactly what I was hoping! I'll try the upgrade myself tonight.

I had no problems either except I have a slight niggle with VS05 that wasn't there before to do with library dlls

I upgraded RC1 with RC2 with no problems either but I also did not have much installed nor did I use it extensively.

I upgraded from RC1 to RC2 but noticed that there was some performance problems, I then did a clean install of RC2 and performance has improved significantly, it's definitely faster that RC1

I upgraded last night, didn't notice any problems.

Once vista ships officially I'll do a complete reinstall, but for now I didn't want to repeat that process just yet.

Anyone want to post a download link since Microsoft took the download down for now...?

I had to get it through my MSDN subscription
