XP Downloads
Hi!
Where does XP Pro save it's "Downloads". I would like to save them to disk so that I can re-install them after a re-install of XP, and not have to download and re-install them everytime. Mike from Africa South Africa |

Hello Mike
The target location of the download will be listed in the "Save In" dialog box. You can change the target by clicking the drop down menu button and navigating to a new location. See this link for a better idea http://www.worldstart.com/guides/download.htm hope this helps yellowpike "Mike van der Merwe" wrote in message ... Hi! Where does XP Pro save it's "Downloads".

Mike from Africa South Africa They go into a WUpdate folder and the contents are deleted when the installation is complete. To save the download, copy the file from that folder *before* clicking agree on the eula screen. Or use the download selection at the Microsoft support site to search for XP updates (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/s...displaylang=en). Download and save freestanding installation packages. NOTE: If you still have v4 of Windows update installed, you can use the "Windows Catalog" option (add to update page via settings) to obtain the freestanding downloads. -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows XP Shell/User |

Better yet, download the XP SP2 download (large download)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en, copy it to the hard drive and then use slipstream http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=188337 to create your own XP SP2 ISO file then burn a new install CD.

Mike from Africa South Africa Except watch the slipstreaming, The Network SP2 download as I understand it is a superset containing every change to XP since the original release (including SP1a) PLUS a system review program which will only apply those updates it finds to be missing from your present OS. I know this for a fact since I downloaded and applied this package to my OS. I then burned this package to two CDs. One for my permanent retention and the other for my friends/relatives to use. I suggest you do the same. -- Gene K |

Yes, it contains all changes for XP Home, Pro, Media & Tablet editions.
I just finished slipstreaming all five of my XO CDs (Two home upgrades, Two Pro Upgrades and one Pro Full install with no problem with the AutoStream software found at the second URL listed on my original post. Took all of about 1 hour for all five copies. Now I'll burn them to CDs and test them on one system I have as a strictly test system then I'll be ready for rebuilding if necessary.
