by rit no...

SP1 is mainly a big pack of hotfixes and patches since Vista hit the store... so any Vista machine should be able to install it...

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can help me install SP 1 on my Vista x64. I tried to install it using Windows Update but it keeps failing everytime. So I downloaded the standalone installer from the Microsoft website here : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

When it tries to install on my computer the loading bar goes halfway then this error comes up : 0x800736B3

Any help would be appreciated

I upgraded from Vista Home Premium [OEM] to Ultimate X64 couple of months back. The retail Ultimate was not updated with SP1 and I ordered the Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 64-bit DVD - English from Microsfot and it cost me nothing except the shipping charges.

Hi guys, I'm having trouble updating to SP1. I'm running Vista Business.

When I click on install update, this follows:

It will just be stuck at 0kb total, 0% complete until the error appears:

Tried numerous times, but to no avail. Sometimes it doesn't even show the wording 0kb total ... but just freezes there with the green bar not moving

Help please, thanks guys.

in ur System Properties (right click ur My COmputer > Properties) go to Security..
u'll find it there.. i use the 3rd option "notify me but dont automatically download or install them"
so i can choose which update to install. windows will inform u if the updates is 'Recomended', 'Optional' etc etc

Yes. They'll update and install automatically. Of course update is better than didn't update. You can choose other options. Such as download first but you choose when to install.
