Vista - Fastest update to SP2?

I´ve got some (alot) Probs. with my Vista Home Premium x64.
The latest is that Windows Installer don´t work anymore. I´ve tried repair, search for problem solutions, made sure it´s set to manual etc. etc.
So now i´m facing a complete reinstall of my OS due to multiple errors lately.

Now to my Q: -My original Vista CD contains no service packs. The last time i reinstalled my OS it took about 1 week until automatic updates gave me the SP2.
Is there a quicker way? Can i DL SP1 and SP2 and install them without using the automatic update?
Or do i have to use it in order to get the updates in a specific order?

Sorry for bad gramma! Hope you understand what i mean!

If you can find them you can download and install them sp1 first then sp2

No need to update all securityupdates prior to Sp1 and Sp2 before doing so then?

If it´s so i´d be happy.

SP1 and SP2 are on Microsoft homepage, are´nt they?

I dont the the sec update prior to sp 1 are available as a group but they should be one at a time if you really want to

First I suggest try my method to fix Windows Installer -Import attached fix to registry and replace msiexec.exe file (file is stored in C:\Windows\System32) with my attached file

my fix to registry for Windows installer http://www.vistax64.com/attachments/...-msiserver.zip

msiexec.exe (for x64 systems)

msiexec.zip

If it also don't help and you let me view into your system maybe I could fix the issue -I need log from VistaForumsysInfoTool VistaForums SysInfo Tool

The best solution for you would be prepare Vista DVD with itegrated SP2 see how to do:
Sliptream Vista SP2

And one my personal warning to sleepstreaminig:When you install system to sleapstreaming do not enter product key otherwise you new Vista DVD lose ability to do Repair Install if ever time need

You do not need to install anything but SP1 and SP2 to get to SP2, as for the waiting, you do not need to wait.

Here are the installers;

Windows Vista SP1 x64 (5 Language)
Windows Vista SP2 x64 (5 Language)

Seeing as you are having multiple errors with things, it might just be best and faster to do a clean install, prior to installing these. Though if you wish to do otherwise that is your choice.
