Unable to uninstall Vista beta service pack

I think I may have a problem: I have installed the Vista beta service pack (6001). But I don't know how to uninstall it. I have gone to add/remove programs/view installed updates and it doesn't appear there. I definitely have it, because under My Computer it says:

Windows Vista ™ Ultimate
Service Pack 1, v668

On my desktop, on the bottom right hand corner, it says: Windows Vista ™ evaluation copy. Build 6001.

In Windows Updates, it has an entry on 15/12/2007: Update for Windows Vista (KB937287) - Build 6001.17052 (x86). Status: successful. When I double click on it, the information panel says (among other things) it cannot be uninstalled.

It has another entry, also 15/12/2007: Vista Service Pack 1 Release Candidate 1 - Bulid 6001.17052 (x86). Status: failed.


I believe that I have to uninstall the beta service pack before I can load the full version when it is released. Also, I believe the beta version expires in either June or July.

So where do I go from here? How do I uninstall it?

If not, then you can try doing a System Restore using a restore point dated before you installed the SP1.

If you still cannot uninstall the SP1, then you will have to do a reinstall. :(

Hope this helps you,

I had to do a fresh install before installing SP1 RTM but I'm glad I did.
My system is very stable and responsive now. No major issues at all.
The beta improved things quie a bit but since performing a fresh install and
SP1, my system runs great.
