permanently download XP update files

[jhmac77]

Does anyone know how to permanently download XP update files on my Windows xp Home hard drive. I am an administrator and have a password and have followed the instructions given by Microsoft on my Windows xp Home software, but it does not work. I have tried several time and it does not work.

That's too vague.

Is it hotfix or software updates?

What methods have you tried?

What error message?

What instructions are you talking about? AFAIK, there aren't any instructions for permanently downloading the hotfixes.

If you want the hotfixes themselves (the .exe files), the easiest way of downloading them all is to use jcarle's Windows Updates Downloader - http://wud.jcarle.com

Otherwise, you'd have to write down a list of all the hotfixes you want and search www.microsoft.com for them.

Or use autopatcher
