[prasad_den]

Thanks for the info.....!!! Will download now..

[Krazy_About_Technology]

Are there any changes with the prerequisites ie. KB937287, KB938371 and KB935509??

They were causing problems with some configs and Microsoft removed them from WU, AFAIK.

@anandk: At your website in the prerequisites article, www.winvistaclub.com/e8.html to be exact, you have written :

These are prerequisites required for Vista SP1. For all versions KB935509 is a must. For Vista Ultimate and Business users, KB937287, KB938371 too.

I think this is a mistake, KB937287 and KB938371 are actually for all versions as they update the Servicing layer of Windows Vista as well as some other compatibility issues and KB935509 is for Ultimate and Buisness users as it updates the BitLocker component of these versions. Plz correct me if i am wrong.

This is not a driver incompatibility problem and rather a software incompatibility issue. The list of programs that does not compatible with Vista in some way is described here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935796

Also for your case, there are a updated version of ZoneAlarm available at the official site. Check it here : http://www.zonealarm.com/store/conte...try=US&lang=en

Doesn't make any difference for my PC. Always updated with latest patches and Vista works like a charm on this.

Me too.

Just confirmed that the file version on the previous MSDN release and the public release are same, both are 6.0.001.17028. I just downloaded to confirm it. But typing winver on the RUN menu reveals that it is indeed SP1. Checking other dll files in the system32 folder also confirm that the final build is 6.0.001.18000. Also, DX 10.1 is included in the that folder.

BTW I also have both Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe and Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave1.exe

[Krazy_About_Technology]

Can anybody who downloaded the SP1 from MSDN subscription downloads before confirm the timestamp in the digital signature of their exe? I can see a differences between the two. The timestamp of this new executable is 1 feb while the MSDN one is 17 jan, size is also different. is that means there is any difference between these? Plz someone confirm it

[debsuvra]

The MSDN one has a timestamp of Sunday, January 20, 2008 9:17:20 AM while the Public release has the following timestamp : Friday, February 01, 2008 1:58:26 AM.

AFAIK, there are two different versions of SP1 to download. One have only five languages packs included in it and named Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0 (size 434 MB). While the other has all language packs available in it and named Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave1 (size 543 MB). I got the later version from MSDN. The first one is released for public downloads as of now.
