INTRODUCTION
The Readme.txt file that is included with the Deployment Tools (Deploy.cab) in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) contains the following incorrect note:

You cannot run Sysprep.exe on an installation of Windows XP SP1 that was upgraded to Windows XP SP2 using Update.exe. Sysprep can be run only on integrated (&quot;slipstreamed&quot;) Windows installations.



MORE INFORMATION
We do support using the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep.exe) to create a Windows XP image on a computer that is upgraded from Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) to Windows XP SP2.
