Tom Warren from Neowin: Microsoft has released a standalone installer for Windows Vista SP2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2 today.
The software giant posted some things to know about the service packs last month, one of the warnings is if "vLite" was used to customize your Windows Vista installation, you may have removed required system components which prevent Service Pack 2 from installing. Microsoft has a workaround for this issue.
Microsoft is expected to post the bits to Windows Update in the coming weeks but if you are eager to install SP2 today then the download links are listed below.
Download: Vista SP2/Server 2008 SP2 32 bit Download: Vista SP2/Server 2008 SP2 64 bit

If you use NOD32 V4.0, be careful! There are MAJOR issues with NOD32 V4 and Vista SP2.
This is the first time I've been upset with ESET. So far they are sweeping the issues under the rug, and don't even acknowledge them on their site anywhere I can find. And it's a very serious issue.

@TechLarry
this happens because the lazy antivirus vendors still have to test the SP2 even if they got it more than 1 month ago!

Here is another issue I encountred. After loading SP2 after resuming from sleep it would sometimes take 30-60 seconds for my wireless logitech keyboard/mouse to start working again. You could hear the system redetecting the items each time. It is a known issue and had to do the following to fix.

It's looking like a clean install is the best way.

I used to like NOD 32 a lot; I had a lot of issues with V3 and V4 does not seem to be much better.
I will give a try to the AV version alone instead of the suite.

Fritz, they are all pretty bad these days.... Vers 4.x of NOD is so so, but nothing like 2.7, which was the last great version. One can get it to run well, but it takes a custom install and some tuning.
I never ever ever ever thought I would say this, but from what I have tested, Norton's latest BETA has been the best. Fast, light and clean. Who would have thought.... but there it is.
Though not monitored by Win 7 RC well, Panda's AV 2009 is also now good again.
