Windows Vista SP1 anticipated to be available to MSDN Subscribers by end of week (NOW LIVE Feb 14 0900 PST)

  • Article

We heard you.

 Look for it in the Top Downloads list by end of week, on https://msdn2.microsoft.com/subscriptions

Feb 14 0900 (PDT) - NOW LIVE. Happy Valentines Day!  

The SP1 patch is located in the Top Downloads list on the MSDN Subscriptions Home Page (https://msdn2.microsoft.com/subscriptions). To access it go to the page and sign in to the site (top left of page). The Top Downloads list is on the left side of page below headline articles. If you just click the link on the page and are not signed in, you will be required to sign in before the download will be initiated.

The slipstream versions will be provided in the future. I am not sure of the exact date.

    It kind of begs the question...why does it generally take so long to get RTM's posted for MSDN Subscribers? It seems like after Microsoft announces the RTM of some particular software, it takes days/weeks for it to be available to subscribers.

    Hope it will be released completely (all languages, platforms and slipstreamed) from the beginning unlike it was with W2k8.

    Forgive me if I'm stupid, but I can't find it on MSDN. I've logged in, expanded Operating systems and then Vista and then English, it isn't there.

    >> Feb 14 0900 (PDT) - NOW LIVE. Let's see, that'd be 8:00 AM PST. It's now 3:15 PM CST, which is 1:15 PST. So it's at least 4+ hours. I don't see it in the tree under Operating Systems/Windws Vista/English. Am I looking in the wrong place, or am I just in the wrong time zone? :)

    "An internal error occurred while installing the service pack" Wow, that's just brilliant, fresh machine with nothing else done to it, all the updates are there through Windows  Updates though.

    You know it's a very good new cuzz I think the first version of Windows Vista without any updates has a lot of bugs. I hope this service pack solve those bugs. Anyway, Thank you.

    What is the Slipstream version? Will all Vista users get a free updated disk of SP1 very soon? Has the internal error occurrence mentioned by James on Feb 15th been rectified as yet? Has Microsoft really got the very best technology guys in the world....?

    Feorais, a slipstream version is a new DVD ISO that allows you to do a "full" installation of Vista with SP1. It'll work just like a regular Vista installation DVD except that SP1 will already be installed for you.

    I see the news about SP1 being pulled and updated so that patch wasn't needed before hand. The one that would cause the machine to instantly reboot all the time. So is it the updated version?

    Still the problem with Akamai. It is not prompting me to Save file, but Im redirected back to the list of the downloads. I deleted all hitory and temp files, msdn and downloads sites I put to the trusted sites. On the trusted sites I enabled all ActiveX options in the IE security, disabled pop-up filter, I tried disable and delete Akamai ActiveX and then install it again. Still the same. When I click on the link, Im redirected form page: http://downloads.msdn.microsoft.com/download/release/msdn/de_en_es_fr_ja_windows_vista_service_pack_1_x86_72327.exe?lcid=..... etc... back to the http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/default.aspx Can you help me please?

    The slipstreamed version is now available for x86 from Subscriber Downloads. x64 is coming soon, apparently.
