I have a batch file which makes SP1 download available through the windows update. Run the batch file first. Then, watch for the special updates KB937287 KB937954 and KB938371 on the new update list . After you install three of them, Vista SP1 will be available for download. This new service pack build's version number is v.652 .

 

batch Code

 

@echo off
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSp1 /f 2> NUL
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSP1 /f 2> NUL
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSp1 /v Beta1 /t REG_SZ /d 37d55f36-65d6-4fe4-9dc7-892fcbe6222b /f
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSP1 /v Beta1 /t REG_SZ /d 37d55f36-65d6-4fe4-9dc7-892fcbe6222b /f
echo Vista SP1 registry key has been set. Please check for updates in Windows Update.

Checking Windows Update on me english Vista x64, right after running this batchfile revealed only:

"Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB935509) - v1.005"

Published: 2007-10-30

 

I'd hate to see the blue screen with the display error (or something) again, like after installing the 2 previous SP1's ...

I installed on to a fresh Vista (no service pack installed before) with no problem (32-bit). Since it is still Beta i cannot say it will work for your system too.

I think KB935509 is also required. After restart other updates should appear if not installed before.

Yup, forgot to mention that I've got all the updates from M$ and here so that's prolly why some updates may or may not appear.

Oh well, will check it out anyways, even if it means reinstalling Vista again, can't resist it... ;)

 

...and a quick Thank You for this no matter what! :]

Done! ... I think...

After installing the mentioned above KB935509 and rebooting it showed "Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB938371) - v1.018" which I've installed and rebooted how it asked.

After that it showed "Update for Windows Vista (KB937287) - Build 6001.17036 (x64)" which I've installed and running still since it had not asked to reboot.

That be all for now? I mean I do know the SP1 contains all the language packs and all, but come one, that was only about 4-20MB! of updates... I'm disappointed... ;)

Pardon my triple post mayhem, but after a reboot the SP1 finally appeared in my WU.

It's "Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Beta - Build 6001.17036 (x64)", published on 2007-10-30, to be precise and weights around 120MB.

Hopefully it'll work... seeya tomorrow! :]
