XPE SP2 Tools Say Evaluation Copy

It sounds like you downloaded from the public MS site... in order to get the
non-eval version you have to get it from the OEM secure site
https://microsoft.embeddedoem.com

I downloaded from https://microsoft.embeddedoem.com. However, I did not
install SP1 tools first - could that matter?

Tim,

Correct download but incorrect install sequence :-)

SP2 is just an upgrade to SP1. You need to install SP1 (non-Eval) first.
