Windows Update - HowTo save download for later use...

[Ted]

Quick details -- I'm moving overseas and will not have
dial-up or online access; yet I'm sure I will need to
reinstall my OS at least once while gone. I can take my
OS CD's with me, but I cannot connect to windows update
for the updates.

Is there anyway to "save" the downloads from Windows
update to my machine instead of just having them "auto
install". I'd like to keep the installer around, put it
on CD, and have it ready so I can re-install the updates
later when I don't have any dial-in or network access.

Thanks.

Go to the Windows Update website and click on "About Windows Update". Scroll down to the section titled "Windows Update Catalog". Activating this will enable you select and download your updates, fixes, and drivers. It also provides a method to keep track of what you have downloaded.

Hi,

Go to the update site, on the left column click on the catalog option. If
you don't see it, add it using the personalize link. This will allow you to
download the updates in executable form that you can burn to CD>
