| 584633 | 2007-08-26 01:13:00 | When you update windows, where do the install files download to? I know where the KBxxxxx.txt files are (C:\WINNT\), but what about the actual installers (like when you download from the administrator link on windows updates). The reason I ask is that I know soon MS will quit all support for win 2K and I want all the updates that are relevant for my win 2K SP4 disc. Is there an app that can find all these updates, so I can write them to an updates disc? |

| 584634 | 2007-08-26 01:19:00 | In XP,I think they go to C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution In one of the folders. Not sure if they stay there, they may just stay here (as cached files), but once theyre installed they go. Dont know about 2k tho. Most of the XP updates i download manually, since it saves me getting it twice for the 2 PC's here. Then I just copy the updates across the network. I just keep them on a partition, along with 2k and Vista updates. I think I've got bout 200mb for 2k alone! Just for the updates. |

| 584638 | 2007-08-26 05:11:00 | Well....................I don't.I generally don't either, just do the install of Win2K SP4 and then maybe throw an AV on, but I figure support will run out soon, and someone may need me to sort out their 2K machine (as I have had to do recently with Win98SE) | Myth (110) | ||
