There were upgrade disks around for a while if I recall. But you can do anything you want, repair install, upgrade install from the full ISO or do you mean just the service pack alone? It needs SP1 installed first. Copied from my instructions on another forum:

Vista SP1, if not already onboard, should be installed first following the same principles laid out below. The standalone download for that is HERE (x86) and for x64 - HERE. (Change Country at bottom left if necessary)

Vista SP2 Standalone is HERE (x86) and for x64 - HERE. (Change Country at bottom left if necessary)

Or are you asking if Microsoft ever issued an ISO download for Vista including all service packs, no they didn't, only including SP1. To the general public anyway, but they did make available to their MVP's ISO's of the entire thing, Vista including SP1 and 2 and I have it stored in my Cloud storage.

If you care to post your email address, disguised as in abc AT xyz DOT com, I can email you the link. You can then come back here and edit out that information once done. For obvious reasons I don't post it in public.
BTW there's an entire very long thread about this here: http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/296167-vista-iso-download.html

ah ok. i have pc with vista home basic coa sticker and i did download vista home basic iso but it had sp1 and 2 integrated in it. i also have copy of retail windows vista ultimate upgrade. so when i try to use the upgrade on home basic it didn't work cause the home basic has sp2. and vista ultimate upgrade has no sp.

Exactly. Your product key decides what version gets installed and I have the universal ISO that will do all versions, except Enterprise, which of course you don't need anyway.
