I want Windows Update on a CD...

[Aarmenaa]

Is there is any way to get the updates that are on Windows update, and put them on a CD, so I can install them again later, or on another machine? I really need to be able to install the latest updates on computers without internet access at the moment.

I don't think so. Windows update must scan the PC in question to determine exactly what you need. That changes each time you install. You can go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp?

and get quite a few things. You'll need a 5-pack of disks, I think.

I managed to get the Win2K service packs on a download, but it was from a Win2k selfhelp website.

Do a google search and you might come up with something similar, because BeeBee is correct.

Yes, you can use the Windows Update Catalog. What operating system are you using?

Here's http://corporate.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp a link to a site that might help you out. I've used it with some success in the past.

That's the puppy!

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog

I gotta bookmark that! Nice find, Rainman!

Wow, nice site. Cheeers Rainsford.

If you are using Windows XP, you don't have to bookmark it. Go to the normal Windows Update site, select the "Personalize Windows Update" link, then select the button that says "Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog".

Now you'll always have a link to it on the left under "See Also".



If not running XP, you'll have to use the normal URL.

That's just what I needed-all the updates for every version of Windows under the sun!:p

I had seen the corporate site once, but it never occoured to be that I might be able to use their updates-nice find, Rainsford!:cool:
