Vista SP1 Prerequisites

KB937287 which is the servicing stack update and KB938371 which is a multi-component update are both required before installing Windows Vista SP1. KB938371 will not be offered to Windows Vista Enterprise and Windows Vista Ultimate systems until KB935509.

    "If you decide to install Windows Vista SP1 by using the stand-alone installer instead of by using Windows Update, you will not have to install the prerequisite updates separately. The prerequisite updates will be installed by the stand-alone installer if they are necessary. "

     

     

    Sounds like the stand-alone installer is the way to go.

    i did the standalone install of sp1 (don't ask how i got it). after 3 bluescreens during install, everything works fine. i've only been up and running for a couple of days, but vista does seem a bit more stable (i used to bluescreen 1 or 2 times a day). thank god this is a secondary computer now, i would never be able to experiment like this. i feel like in another year, vista should be rock solid.
