Expression Blend Service Pack 1 Update

Hi, I’m Bret Ahlstrom, the new release program manager for the Expression Studio suite of products. I’ve only been in this job a few short weeks, and the first thing I get to report on is a problem with the Expression Blend Service Pack 1 that was released last month!

It turns out that some people can’t get the patch to install on their systems. This is due to an incompatibility between the SP1 patch and some versions of Blend (Japanese, Korean and German for starters.)

We think we have identified the problem and are building a new SP1 patch to address it, and this updated path should be ready to go in a few days. To clarify, only people who have had problems installing SP1 should need this patch. If you have already successfully installed SP1, then you won’t need to download and install it again.

Thanks and stay tuned.
