SYMPTOMS
When you use the update.exe /integrate: command to update a Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) distribution point with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (MSJVM) files in Windows XP SP1 are removed from the distribution point.

Note The Windows XP SP2 features and components are included in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, we strongly recommend that you create a separate distribution point for Windows XP SP2. Installing Windows XP SP2 from a separate distribution point does not remove the MSJVM from client computers. For additional information about creating a distribution point for Windows XP SP2, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
