Before you install SP1, note the following requirements:
Note During SP1 installation, any previous customizations that you made to the Web Author will be overwritten. Therefore, you should backup these files before installing SP1 and then restore them after installation. SP1 automatically backs up the IIS_NR and IIS_CMS directories. The files from the SP1 backup are found at <MCMS base directory>\SP1 Backup\IIS_NR and <MCMS base directory>\SP1 Backup\IIS_CMS. Note that SP1 does not backup the IIS_NR_RO or the IIS_NR_RO_ASP directories. You must backup those files manually.
Migrated MCMS 2001 directories. For more information about migrated files, see Files That Have Been Migrated From MCMS 2001 to MCMS 2002 Must Be Updated After Uninstalling SP1. As with any update of your system, backing up the system is a recommended operations procedure.
Note You may be prompted to restart your computer after installing SP1.

With the release of SP1, MCMS 2002 now supports the following software:
Note Windows Server 2003 does not support .NET Framework 1.0. With Windows Server 2003, you must use .NET Framework 1.1 which is included with Windows Server 2003. For more information, see the section Using MCMS 2002 SP1 with the .NET Framework 1.1.
The supported software listed above is not required, but if you plan to use the new software, it is recommended that you install it before you install SP1.
SP1 also includes an upgrade of the MCMS Site Manager and Site Stager. The prerequisite for these components is the Microsoft Visual J#™ .NET Redistributable Package. You must have the Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package installed before installing Site Manager or Site Stager from SP1.
Note If you have .NET Framework Version 1.1 installed, before you can install the SP1 Site Manager or Site Stager, you must install the Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 1.1 from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=16283.
If you have .NET Framework Version 1.0 installed, before you can install the SP1 Site Manager or Site Stager, you must install the J# .NET Redistributable Package 1.0 from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14506.
