IE8 and Windows Vista SP2

I have been holding off on installing IE8 and today the Windows Vista SP2
appeared in my Windows Update folder. I hid both files. I am thinking
that I probably need to install IE8 before SP2. Am I correct?

On my x86 and x64 machines, I installed IE8 a few weeks back. I installed
SP2 today. No problems after 8 hours...

Hi,

No, they are unrelated and installing IE8 is not a requirement for SP2.
