The standalone setup installer for Windows Vista and WS 2008 SP2 contains all 36 languages to support all localized operating systems. No need to wait for any separate language waves to be released.In essence, the SP2 for Vista and WS2008 should release in only 2 waves, much like practice when releasing Windows Vista SP1 – wave 0 for 5 core languages and wave 1 for all languages. There is confusion that wave 1 of the SP2 may be limited to just Italian, Dutch, Russian and Traditional Chinese, but it’s the release waves for Windows 7. However, for Windows Vista users who want to download a smaller SP2 update files, standalone SP2 installers for wave 1 with just 5 benchmark languages are also available.

You need to download and install the latest KB947821 update which came out a couple of days ago.
May 1st, 2009 19:32
SORRY CORRECTION
Of course the correct error message is:
“At least one Systemcomponent, which is required for Service Pack 2 is missing. You’ll get further Information by clicking on the Link below”
May 1st, 2009 19:30
Hey guys,
I cannot install SP2. After my first click on “Next” the Setup tells me “At least one Systemcomponent, which is required for Service Pack 2. You’ll get further Information by clicking on the Link below.”
1) I just translated this Error message from the German Language, so I dont know if it will be displayed exactly like this in english.
2) Of course I clicked on the link “below”. Its a Microsoft Knwoledge Base Article, but it doesnt help me out.
3)I already installed KB947821, which is required for installing SP2.
Can somebody tell me what component my system is missing?

Correction: The http download of wave 0 x64 via depositfiles aborted suddenly after ~ 57 MiB, couldn’t even download the torrent because I was “already downloading a file” and the only other I found was the one with but the entire image.
April 30th, 2009 03:23
Goodness, depositfiles is atrocious. Slow as a slug and the x64 wave 0 torrent only contains the entire OS image.
Rapidshare or megaupload, anyone?
Thanks anyway.
April 30th, 2009 03:15
OK, installed the SP2 into my VM Server 2008 install as a test – it reset the activation timer back to 60-days. I applied the current Server 2008 activation bypass & forced the clock ahead 4 months – it still works!
Again, I don’t think this patch works for Vista. Google ‘Windows Server 2008 Bypass Activation v1.1′ & look for the release data to be May 3rd. of last year…
April 30th, 2009 03:05
Okay, anybody with VistaLoader install this SP2 can tell me if it deactivates the vistaloader?

[...] SP2 hit the torrents on April 28, hours before Microsoft officially announced it was done (via a posting to the Windows Vista Team Blog). It’s tough to say exactly when SP2 will be available for sanctioned download. Originally it was expected by the end of April (which still could happen if Microsoft posts the code to one of its download sites by tomorrow). But it also could slip into early May. [...]
