Vista sp1 hack rar

Technet and MSDN subscribers can download it now. According to Computerworld , it will be available next week. But just like before with SP1 Beta, there is also a little hack that allows you do download it right from Windows Update. Since it is a release candidate it might make sense to check it out to see if the problems you had with Vista are solved now. He has more than 35 years of experience in IT management and system administration. He links to a rar file which is a bit cumbersome to download.

So I converted it into a zip which you can download here. Like before, you have to start a script which will create some Registry entries. Note that you have to uninstall SP1 Beta first. Check out the word file that comes with the script. When I ran the script on a test machine, Windows Update offered me two other updates.

After installing them and rebooting twice, the Service Pack was still not visible in Windows Update. I had to click several times on the " Check for updates " link until it finally showed up. The download was extremely slow. It seems the interest in this SP is huge. From a system administrator's point of view, it is interesting to know that the schedule still stands, i.

SP1 is slated in the first quarter of Microsoft will release Vista SP1 in two waves. The second wave will launch 8- 12 weeks later and will contain all other remaining languages. I find it a bit strange that there are still different language versions. Why not just one version with different language packs? It is important to know that there is a service pack blocker tool that will prevent installation of SP1 via Windows Update. So if you have already deployed Vista and want to test this SP before it gets installed automatically, you should get this tool.

It notably accelerates the file copying system, and it includes support for third-party search tools. If you want a more stable and secure operating system, download and launch this essential pack.

From what I have heard, this SP1 is sort of pre-beta and a regular bug-fest. Nah, I'll wait till they get the kinks worked out.
