This release is only for Windows Vista in English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese. An updated release for the other 31 supported languages will be made available later this year
If Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows Update, this problem occurs because of one or more of the following causes:
Cause 1
You are already running Windows Vista SP1.
Cause 2
Windows Vista SP1 has not been released for the language of the language pack that you have installed.
Cause 3
Windows Service Pack Blocker Tool is used to block the delivery of Windows Vista SP1 from Automatic Updates or from Windows Update.
