A service pack is a tested, cumulative set of all hotfixes, security updates, critical updates, and updates. Service packs may also contain additional fixes for problems that are found internally since the release of the product and a limited number of customer-requested design changes or features.

Service packs are cumulative. Every new service pack contains all hotfixes, security updates, critical updates, and updates that exist in previous service packs, together with any new fixes. Therefore, you do not have to apply a previous service pack before you apply the latest one. For example, you do not have to apply the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1) before you apply the .NET Framework 1.0 SP2.

The .NET Framework 1.0 service packs cover all English versions of these products, together with all localized versions of these products.

Every service pack detects the files that you have installed on your system and then installs the appropriate hotfixes, security updates, critical updates, and updates. Localized versions of these products include the following:

• Chinese, Traditional
• Chinese, Simplified
• French
• German
• Italian
• Japanese
• Korean
• Spanish

The ReadMe file contains descriptions of the fixed bugs and lists all changed files.
