Updating computer with no internet connection/Remove IE7 from SP3?

[Guest Paul Chow]

I have a situation where I have a WinXP SP2 computer (Compaq) with no

internet connection.

I would like to apply all of the missing updates & patches to it.

 

I have a SP3 CD that would probably be the easiest way to update the

computer but I dont want IE7.

 

Can IE7 be removed or de-selected from the install?

 

I also have another XP SP2 computer at different location (Dell) that has an

internet connection and is up to date via Windows update (no IES7). The

computer is set to download, but not install updates. Can I copy the

Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder to the first computer (it is completely

different hardware)?

Microsoft has a web page for each update that lets you download the update

on one computer in a form that can be written to a CD, and then install it

on other computers. Go to microsoft.com and enter an update identifier in

the search field. You will get links to "Download details" for the update.

 

You can look at the update history in Windows Update on your connected

computer to get the identifiers of the updates. Update identifiers begin

with the letters KB; for example, KB954366 is a security update to Vista.

 

SP3 is a collection of updates. You can select which ones you want to

install.

Aren't there many, many updates (100+). There is no way to do it as a group?

I have to find each one individually?

The two ideas I proposed are not workable in some manor?

 

Thanks

IE 7 is not part of the SP3, either the full SP3 download nor the full

Windows XP install CD with SP3 "merged" in. It is completely separate

download / install.

I think Pope Leo I said (paraphrasing): "Install them all and let Windows

sort it out."

SP3 does not install install IE7. SP3 is a cumulative collection of

fixes and security updates and IE7 is neither of these. SP3 does include

updates for IE7, but obviously these are only installed if IE7 is

already present on your system.
