chiang mai Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Can anyone recommend third party software to download and save to disk, any or all XP OS updates, I would like to be able to do this outside of the XP update process? Yes I realize that SP3 contains all updates up to that release point but really I'm interested in the ones from SP3 onwards. Thanks

It functioned similar to Windows Update but worked in FF and didn't install the WGA crap, etc. (IIRC) I thought Autopatcher was shutdown by MS, great to see they survived and are still able to help out.

I was just trying to say that they've each got strengths and weaknesses and WinDiz was great when i had someone who just wanted an easy way to update without going through MS.
