It has been noted elsewhere that the Betas of SP2 did not update the SP1 FFC classes correctly. I don't know if the release version of SP2 has the same issues or not, but I do know that SP2 is a Windows Installer patch file and that the Windows Installer file versioning rules can result in non-versioned file such as .vcx not being updated for the reason I mentioned in the earlier post. Doing a full uninstall/reinstall avoids this issue.

The general consensus among the people who have been posting about it seems to be that a full uninstall/reinstall is the best way to go. AFAIK no one from Microsoft has commented on this one way or the other, though.

The "Additional Information" says Make sure you uninstall CTP or Beta versions of SP2 before installing the final release.
