XP Auto Updates

[webmal]

I've got XP Auto Updates set to 'download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them'. I haven't install them, do you know the location of the downloads?

Thank you.

All you have to do is go back to Windows Update, check for updates manually, and you will have them cached. Install from there.

That's not the point. I need the location to copy the files elsewhere. Thanks.

Took a few tries to get the right keywords, however, Google yielded the answer here:

Another method to save the patch locally is to install the update 'as usual' from the Windows Updates page. Once the copy process is complete and the Install process is about to begin, look for the WUTemp folder in C:\ (or whatever drive you've installed Windows). This is the destination folder used by Windows Updates to save the hotfix. The hotfix will be deleted automatically once installed. Therefore, copy the WUTEMP directory contents to a new folder, while the install process has just started.
