This is a bit off topic, but may change the programming environment.
After a few minutes I found that by altering the "vs_setup.pdi" file, you can eliminate the need for the prerequisite service pack!

My question is: Could this make the something not work?

I have not had any problems so far, but wonder if there could be a specific dependancy issue, that someone knows about. On the other hand, if it's so rare, then why bother worrying about it?
