Go and get it:

Click here, it's 32bit version

64bit

Or, you better use Windows update. As the file will be smaller and you don't have to worry about your OS language.

BTW, I just downloaded and didn't let me because I have the 64bits, so if you have 64bits version, then don't bother

What a waste of 400MB, they didn't bother putting the version. Or am I blind?

for 64bit: just search in their downloads, or use Windows Update.

This is supposed to be x86 and x64: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Sig … Pack.shtml
It says in the softpedia news article, linking to that, but honestly it looks the same as the official link.

nope - more a... lol epic fail for you! Blame MS for OP just given an x68 link? and a big DOH for not seeing the X86 in filename.

and it should arive soon enough on Windows Update for all soon enough and be much smaller download.....

MS wrote:
Microsoft strongly recommends using Windows Update to download and install Windows Vista SP1 on single PCs:

The download size from Windows Update of Windows Vista SP1 for x86 is 65 MB (compared to 450 MB from the Microsoft Download Center).
The download size from Windows Update of Windows Vista SP1 for x64 is 125 MB (compared to 745 MB from the Microsoft Download Center).

Windows Update will recognize PCs with known problematic drivers and postpone downloading Windows Vista SP1 until the PC has updated drivers or other applicable updates.

Using Windows Update will help ensure you have the most trouble-free update experience possible.........

Also since its only in 5 languages so far - if you use another you wont get it on Windows Update for that reason.

Sorry for the noob question, but i have Vista 32 bit, Danish version.

Can i just use the link OP has posted, and then just install ?

xGj: Official lame Crysis fanboy.; +84|6646|Netherlands tbh

Yes you can. But you may aswell check your Windows Update to see if there's an appropriate Danish version available there, it's smaller too.. I'm downloading the standalone from the interwebs rather than WU because my WU is broken -.-

If you have a language specific version of the OS itself you need the matching language SP (or thats the way it has been before)

As the list so far is: English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese - you'll have to wait a little longer.

Titch2349: iz me!; +358|6627|uk

Its now on Windows Update (Click start-> type in Windows Update in the search bar, and click it when it shows up, along the left click "Check for Updates".)

It took me 2 "checks" and my friend 4, but it shows up on there eventually, and its only 67mb instead of 450mb.

Just wait for Windows Update if it isn't showing up already (click refresh in the top left).

Seriously though, it's not like you need it in the next 24hours or however long it will take for it to be relesed in all the languages etc.

It's just more sensible, and safer.

Mine's 94% done

Yea, I edited my OP, I think it would be better idea to wait.
