Vista x64 SP1 is now on WU for some users

[Guest Colin Barnhorst]

Vista x64 SP1 just went live on WU. If you see any optional device driver

updates for your system on WU you may have to complete the device driver

update(s) before WU offers you SP1. I did.

It won't be as bad as you think. My download was only 121.5GB.

Re: Vista x64 SP1 is now on WU for some users

 

Well, I got it downloaded and installed. Now takes about 1 1/2 times longer

to boot up and twice the time to shut down. On the plus side, I was able to

delete messages from Windows Mail that would not previously delete in 2 and

5 months respectively.

Re: Vista x64 SP1 is now on WU for some users

 

Well, I must not be one of the "some."

 

I even restored a clean backup of Vista Ultimate and brought it up-to-date

over five reboots and WU simply states... I'm up-to-date.

No SP1.

In the Vista group it was posted that it was a mistake to have put it on WU

and that it has now been pulled.

Re: Vista x64 SP1 is now on WU for some users

 

It wasn't a mistake.

 

A small number of users got issues with SP1 script. MS thought it best to

remove the script in order to fix the issue for all!!

 

A few 100 compared to over a million users.

Maybe over a million users, but there sure weren't millions of downloads of

64-bit Vista SP1 before it was pulled.

Re: Vista x64 SP1 is now on WU for some users

 

Of course John, but if you beta tested and also you how many illegal

downloads got the script (because I sure do see complaints from users who

were not on the beta), I think you know what I mean.

So is this why I had it available on the 21st but did not install and now

when I go to install it WU doesn't even indicate it as being an option?

The story goes that the herald file that precedes the main download caused

an issue on a few machines so MS pulled the update for a fix.

My start-up is back to normal, but the shutdown is still about 25% slower,

Re: Vista x64 SP1 is now on WU for some users

 

Correct. I just tried the update file from Connect and it installed fine.

 

The issue seems to be with the script (nut I may be wrong).
