Why I was not getting Vista Service Pack 2 offered to me
So I had authorised Vista SP2 in my WSUS server and i had noticed other machines on my network installing it. But my machine didn’t show it up in the updates to install list. I eventually went and downloaded the full standalone version. In the meantime i came across this post by Susan Bradley about having important updates not installed stopping SP2 from being available. I went and checked but that wasnt my problem.
When i tried to actually run the SP2 download I got this message:
I went into the control panel to Regional and Language Settings
From here I selected Install / uninstall languages, selected the non required language packs and chose to remove them. I had to do each individually and then restart the computer.
Problem solved – Vista SP2 coming up!

Does mean MS has released a
Does mean MS has released a Service Pack that is English-only? Not only that, but actually *incompatible* with other languages?
Way to go.

not at all - the stand alone
not at all - the stand alone pack is actually for 5 main languages. other languages have their own packs. however the fact i had unsupported languages for this pack installed stopped it from installing. if i had needed those languages i could always reinstall them after.
