Download specific version of Virtual Server

Hi

I can't seem to seem to find out how to download a specific version of
VS. I've been given a VM (with a saved state...) from a machine that
has been decommissioned. But I can't boot up the VM on my VS
installation as they are different version numbers. Can anyone tell me
how I can install a specific version of VS? Failing that, can anyone
tell me if just installing Windows Updates will take me to 1.1.629.0
EE R2 SP1 (this is the version of the image, and is newer than my
version)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
James

Older VMs will run in newer releases, you'll just be prompted to
update the VM Addition.

Good point, I missed that sentence this morning.

This update is where you get to 1.1.629.0 from an SP1 install

Thanks for your help guys - I'll download the patch and see what
happens. I've currently got version 1.1.603.0 EE R2 SP1. Failing that
I'll just recreate the machine and hope the integrity is still ok.

P.S. There's a .vud file as well - do you know if undo disks are
useable across minor version changes?

Thanks
James

Undo usually works. Generally, its just saved states that aren't
