Installing Vista SP2

**MLD**

From everything that I've read, IE8 is not a part of SP2.

Propman, thanks for your reply. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough with my
request. I'm trying to make sure that if I deselect IE8 as a stand-alone
WU, but request that Vista SP2 be download, I want a way to make sure I
don't get IE-8 bundled in to SP2.

Is there a way to do that or would invoking an SP2 update automatically
force IE-8 to come along which I don't want?

Thanks again...................Paul C.

I've just been offered Windows SP2 via my Windows Update manager. My
history on this computer is excellent with regards to updates so I'm
inclined to have this update installed. Everything regarding updates is
current except for IE-8.

My one reservation is that I've declined to update IE-8 in the recent
past as I'm a Firefox user and I've seen all the traffic about how
cloggy IE has been for some.

I tried finding out if Vista SP2 includes IE-8 but am having no luck.
Can someone tell me if Vista SP2 includes IE-8? And if so, is there a
way to download SP2 but choose not to have IE-8 included.

Thanks much in advance............................Paul C.

Have you checked "Control Panel - Windows Updates - View Available
updates"?

Mine shows IE8 available; the "upgrade" can be toggled off though.

Also, FWIW, mine only shows a SP2 available for "The 2007 Microsoft®
Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)"; it doesn't show that a system SP is
available.
