Windows Update in Vista (and Automatic Updates in other Windows versions)
downloads all updates to a temporary folder prior to installation, no matter
which of the first 3 settings in the following illustration are chosen:
http://www.microsoft.com/library/med...allupdates.jpg
Since this temporary folder still contained the installation package for
MS08-010/KB944533, you were able to reinstall it offline.
I should think that the Kaspersky firewall wouldn't interfere with Flight
Simulator if you tweak its settings properly.
Given other related threads here, I would not recommend attempting to
disable the firewall in Kaspersky Internet Security in favor of using the
Windows Firewall unless you can figure out how to completely disable the
former. If you manage to do it, please let us know how.
