I cant install my ati catalyst drivers poperly because i dont have framework.net 2.0 installed. To do this it recomends I have all the updates for xp installed. I dont currently have an internet connection and I need to know if there is some way to install all the current xp udates in an all in one istallation that can be transferred from one pc's drive to another or do the updates have to be installed only on the machine that downloaded them. jackyboy

Hi Jackyboy, welcome to the PCHF.

Unfortunately there's no real way of doing it. It would be easier to borrow a mates internet connection. All the updates should only take around an hour - unless you don't have SP2 yet, then it will take a bit longer and you can get SP2 on CD or anywhere to download pretty much.

Here you go. Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 2 for IT Professionals and Developers

Download and burn to a CD. Or a thumb drive. The time I did this, it didn't install the latest stuff for IE, but if your not online, that should not matter.

Thanks Tractor

Thanks For Answer. Im New In Town Though And Dont Know Any Body With Internet Connection. Will Wait For Service Pack 3

THANKS VERY MUCH. i HAVE SERVICE PACK 2 FROM 2004, DO U THINK I CAN STILL INSTALL FRAMEWORK.NET 2.0 WITH NO PROBLEMS IF I HAVE NONE OF THE UPDATES OF PATCHES SINCE THEN
