Installing Vista SP2 32bit

[JamesJ]

I want to manually install Vista Service Pack 2 32 bit.
My installation disk is Vista Basic with SP1.

Is the only prerequisite to install SP2 is to have Vista Service Pack 1
installed?

Thanks,
James

To have control, try this. Install your Vista Basic SP1. Set up Windows
Update to notify you of available updates, but *not* to automatically
install. Install everything *except* SP2, then manually install SP2.

I'll use the Format option in Vista Basic w/sp1.
The first thing I always do is set the AutoUpdates to notify.
Will sp2 be a seperate update from the rest?
I don't recall.

I've already downloaded the sp2 file.
I'm doing this because i'd rather not install any anti-malware software
until sp2 is installed.
Does this make sense?

I always seem to forget to make a system restore point prior to these major
updates.
Hopefully i'll remember this time.

IIRC, yes.
