Is there a Build 7600 version that is NOT RTM ?

[Fif23]

I just reinstalled my windows 7 7600 from another CD, and the Folder Icons are "regular" again, like vista.
In the other 7600 I had, the folders were more yellow and a bit different in shape.

Are there 2 versions of BUILD 7600 ? or 7600=RTM ?

Yes!

Windows 7 Build 7600 (6.1.7600.16384) It's not RTM

Windows 7 Build 7600 (6.1.7600.16385) Is RTM

If you obtain it direct from Microsoft, there's only one 7600 version and it's RTM.

If you're not careful about your source, however, there are indeed other 7600 builds out there (like subset 16384, or like a 16385 that was assembled in an unofficial manner, and perhaps still more).

So yes, there are things circulating here and there that say 7600 that are *not* the totally final and official software / RTM.

How do I check which "6.1.7600.16385" i have ?
Winver doesnt show it ...

Lets say it like this:
Are the regular folders in the real RTM different than all the RC's ?

Open System Information, it should be next to "Hardware Abstraction Layer". But could we have a screenshot of these supposedly different folders? I'm going to assume you didn't get 7600 by legal means...so help is going to be very very limited. (At least by me.)

You can check this by checking the properties of any file that comes with Windows. In this example, I have used Notepad. Note that it is the actual file and not the shortcut.

This is from the official RTM. Check that ALL highlighted items match what you get.

16384 was the build just before the final released rtm .

Thanks for the quick help !!!!
Seems like I have the fake one then (84)
The real one is on another CD, can I just boot up from hit and hit Upgrade without losing any information ?

I just "upgraded" with a 16385 disc and nothing changed after 2 hours upgrade- it's still showing 16384 in windows files...

This is for sure 16385.....

Is a clean install the only way ?
Thanks

Most likely.
