Updates for PC without Internet Connection

Hi, can anyone tell me how I can download updates on my first PC and then use
them to update my second, which I never connect to the internet? I don't even
have an ethernet card in it as I use it for recording music.

Thanks, Chris

If you dont connect to the Internet, or use third party iffy software theres
little need.
Use MS Administrative Updates, download & burn to cd

You can also download individual updates from the Catalog and save to be installed later.
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp

Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what you want, Click
the “Go To Download Basket” link. Type in or browse to the location where you want the
updates saved to and then Click the “Download Now” button.
Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.

For security and other patches released for a given month :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms##-***.mspx
Replace ## with the two-digit year
Replace *** with the three character month abbreviation

Providing there are releases for that month, you will see the list of "critical"
"important" patches for that month
Check on the 2nd Tuesday of each month - later in the day.

Thank you for the help. I have downloaded all of the updates I need, but I
don't know what order to install them in. Is there a way to figure this out
or does it matter? All of the files have Modified date of today.

Preferably date order.
Look at iuhist_catalog.xml file for clue on what updates downloaded and
dates etc.
