Offline Update for Windows XP

Hise Security's Offline Update was recently featured on an episode of Security Now. Offline Update is a solution to a common problem.

To often I've installed a fresh copy of Windows XP on a workstation only to spend hours downloading and installing necessary updates and security patches. Offline Update allows you to create a CD containing all the updates and security patches necessary to get Windows XP current. Of course you'll need a computer (with a CD Burner) connected to the Internet, but this is all you'll need. Offline Update features a simple interface (built with AutoIt) that allows you to select the language you want, and then it does the rest for you, downloading the patches and writing them to a disc.

If you want to try Offline Update you can download it here.
