Microsoft makes available Windows Vista SP2 for public download.

Microsoft just released Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista. It is now available at the Microsoft Download Center for public download. You can either download the standalone installer which will install SP2 on your Windows Vista machine or you can download the ISO image which you can burn it to a DVD and install/reinstall later. If you are looking for a decent software to burn the ISO image to a DVD then learn from this article on how to burn an ISO image to a DVD.

The only pre-requisite for installing Windows Vista SP2 is that you should have Service Pack 1 installed. Keep in mind that Service Pack 2 is not a cumulative package and what that means is that Service Pack 1 is required to install Service Pack 2.

The standalone installer is around 350 MB. If you think downloading and installing such a huge file is an overhead just sit back and wait till June 30th for the Windows Update to take its own course.

You might have to run the System Update Readiness Tool before you install Service Pack 2.
