System Update Readiness Tool

The Vista sp1 update is not available for me via windows update.

So I installed the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista
(also referred to as KB947821) The installation took about 15 minutes
but said install was ok. I looked at the "view update history" in windows
update, and it shows successfully installed.

My question is, now that I have the System Update Readiness Tool
installed, how do I use it , or run it, or execute it, or whatever it is
that needs to be done to make it do its thing ? I looked everywhere I could
on the MS website to find the answer, but no luck.

I have Vista 64bit ultimate installed. (and yes, I did install the 64bit
version of the System Update Readiness Tool )

Please help me to understand how this tool works.

Thanks
Mike

If you installed it, it already ran and did not find anything it could fix.

This is the third time I've answered this question from you. PLEASE CHECK
FOR EARLIER REPLIES! (Not that you'll see this one either, I bet.)

It runs automatically, you need do nothing. Did you read this?

Sorry, you are right, I did post this three times.
I don't know why, but the first two posts never
showed up on my end. So I changed the title and
the third time it worked. I don't know why you
can see all three posts, I can only see the last
one. I did not mean to offend you. But apparently
I did. Sorry for that.
