Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 file information notes
- The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
Version | Product | Milestone | Service branch |
6.0.6001.18xxx | Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 | SP1 | GDR |
6.0.6001.22xxx | Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 | SP1 | LDR |
6.0.6002.18xxx | Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 | SP2 | GDR |
6.0.6002.22xxx | Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 | SP2 | LDR |
- Service Pack 1 is integrated into the original release version of Windows Server 2008. Therefore, RTM milestone files apply only to Windows Vista. RTM milestone files have a 6.0.0000.xxxxxx version number.
- GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
- The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 and for Windows Vista" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
