And here it is! The most awaited Vista repository with Server 2008 updates (atleast for the few people who care about the OS).

Included in here are updates for both x86 and x64 architectures, and all versions of .NET available for Vista, from 2.0 to 4.6.1. If there's anything missing, do let me know.

I would like to direct a huge thank you to @VistaLover and @2008WindowsVista, for testing out the updates, and listing them in an easy to copy way :)

 You are welcome @greenhillmaniac and thanks for creating the MEGA repo; is the link to it going to be stickied in the Windows Vista forum?

Or, possibly, could a mod let you create a "new" #1 post in this current thread, which could, hopefully, be updated every month from now on?

And a clarification about "Update for .NFW 4.6[.1] on Windows Server 2008 (KB4020503)", published May 2nd:

The relevant KB article details that it patches an error specific to "Windows PowerShell v3.0+"; since PS v3.0 isn't available on Vista SP2,

I would argue that patch (that I did include in my list in my previous post and you, too, included in your repo) isn't strictly needed on Vista SP2 :unsure: ...

Did it give you an error, when trying to install? Dunno... sometimes M$ includes aditional fixes in patches like these, so unless it doesn't install, I don't mind leaving it on there.

 No, it did not error out when I tried to install it - if you inspect my "Installed Updates" (second) screenshot you'll see it there; I just thought, after reading what it patches, that it should be redundant for Vista :unsure: ...

You probably know a lot more on this than I, so it's up to you what you do :rolleyes: ; thanks again!

Oh come on.  lol - at least let me retain credit for bringing initial attention to this.  Even with Windows 8, greenhillmaniac allowed that courtesy to remain, and I appreciated that.

 It was never my intention to show any hint of disrespect, so my sincere apologies if it came through that way :). I only suggested (without giving it much thought, apparently) what appeared to me as a convenience for fellow Vista users (i.e. ease of access, much like what is being currently done in that other Vista thread, "Last versions of software for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008").

Again, sorry for any misunderstanding caused! :rolleyes:

Oh no, I was half serious and half joking.  I never was offended. :)

Great Guys you peeps made vista alive upto win 7 life

Well... in order to achieve that we would also have to:

  • Port Intel USB 3.0 drivers
  • Port AMD video drivers
  • Port future nVidia video drivers
  • Get Google Chrome working
  • Get the lastest Office working

You know, small things :P
