where can i get SP1 for vista?

i have 64bit, i haven't DLed it yet, it isnt in windows update.... and i dont want the RC, if im correct, the real deal came out on the 8th

 

You'll find information about it here:

Only the 32bit is out the 64bit was only re;eased for a couple of hours on accident.

 

The real version is being rolled out in phases, and it not technically here yet.

 

It seems they had released it but soon thereafter pulled it due to problems. You'll just have to wait a little longer unless you want to do a registry hack. The hack isn't worth it IMO.

 

SP1 gave me a bluescreen every 20 minutes when I got it a while ago. I uninstalled it and havent had another since. I'd wait for it to be set in stone 100% and fully tested as stable before updating.

 

oh, i just htought somthing may be wrong and i should DL it... if it technically isnt out i guess i will wait... i dont have any vista probs (accept when i got autocad 08 it was for 32 bit only

 

Wait till March 18th to download it officially from microsoft.

 

If you don't have any problems you don't need it, I haven't even gotten a increase in file transfer between disc performance, and I got SP1, quite a disappointment in terms of performance, and neither did I get any more features or stability :\

 

I am running Vista 64 with SP1 and I have no problem. The SP1 DVD I got including 32 and 64 bit version.

 

the sp1 released on accident, was that the real deal?, because my vista dl'ed it from windows update.

Will I have to uninstall and install the one out on march 18th?

 

If it downloaded, and downloaded without the hack that others have used, this was an "interim" release that as others have pointed out, was released by accident.

You should uninstall it.

But, make certain that it was indeed the sp1 update, and not the sp1 rerequisite updates (a series of 3 updates that will make sp1 load correctly). these were small releases. Sp1 was quite large and required your PC to reboot 3 times during install

 

You may want to review this blog before you try installing SP1.
I was hit with this through auto update.

Sp1 was released on the 4th of February and it is the same thing as the last RC refresh they've released in January (which they decided to make RTM). There was no other release besides the RTM since then.

 

it was indeed "service pack one for x64 based systems" it installed during the "accidental release".

 

Eh, I have the x64 SP1 update. It is running fine for me so I'll leave it on.

 

yeah, same....i was just wondering if it was going to be the same thing i downloaded thats going to be released in march

 

They'd probably change some things...I'd uninstall it and wait for the official public release just in case.

 

No, they will not.

 

It's final, Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (x86, x64) has been realeased in 5 languages. I did a fresh install myself, I have Vista with SP1 release on DVD so once my Windows installation completed SP1 was already there.
