* Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 : How to check whether its installed or not ?

There are basically two ways of checking whether SP1 of VS 2005 is installed on a XP machine :

• Registry -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VS\Servicing\8.0 -> The value of SP shows the service pack installed.
• Visual Studio -> Help -> About Microsoft Visual Studio -> Version 8.0.50727.762. The version before SP1 will be 8.0.50727.42
