Good point Bill. So let me rephrase my question - how can I tell whether I'm
running a Release Candidate of Hyper-V or the RTM version?

I know I had to do a manual upgrade from the beta to a release candidate. I
was expecting to have to do the same for the RTM.

If "Update for Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition (KB50050)" is listed in
Windows Update, View Update History, you have the RTM version of Hyper-V.

In Hyper-V manager select Help, About - the RTM version reports Version
6.0.6001.18016 (not sure what the RC version reported- sorry!).

Perhaps this is a dumb suggestion, but there are two flavours of the RTM
update,

one for Windows Server 2008 32 bit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6F69D661-5B91-4E5E-A6C0-210E629E1C42&displaylang=ena
that has just the update for ther 32 bit version of the Hyper-V Management
Console and Virtual Machine Connection tool

and one for Windows Server 2008 64 bit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F3AB3D4B-63C8-4424-A738-BADED34D24ED&displaylang=en
for the computer running the Hyper-V role.

If you attempt to install the wrong flavour, you will get the message you
report.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
