| Guest | Keeping updates and installing them manually from hard drive Am I able to keep all the updates I downloaded via Windows Update in a directory on my hard drive for the next time I install Vista, and then install them manually? So I don't have to download them every time I do a fresh install. Are they being kept somewhere already on my hard drive? |

| Master | Re: Keeping updates and installing them manually from hard drive I believe if you manually download SP1 it includes all previous update before the release of SP1 then all you have to do is download the rest. |

| Guest | Re: Keeping updates and installing them manually from hard drive No. If you want you can manually download updates and save them for installation later Start with SP1 for Vista, then downloaded future updates from the catalog to save. http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what you want, Click the "Go To Download Basket" link. Type in or browse to the location where you want the updates saved to and then Click the "Download Now" button. Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.
