Yes indeed, Tristram, the problem was due to the additional
language packs I had installed, for example, to support
Danish which is my wife's native language. (When she not
swearing at me!) I also needed other languages to check out
support for non-English interfaces for software we support.
The installer told me I had to remove all but the 5
mentioned, and it was the removal process which took over a
day.

True the standalone download is a biggy and that is a good
reason to
wait for Windows Update to offer you the service pack, as a
dealer you
don't necessarily have that luxiury. The stand alone pack
has multiple
language resources in it which is what bloats it somewhat.
Most people
who brought their PC with VISTA (that measn most of not all
on this
list) will have only English on their machine therefore
should not meet
the problem of localisaton for their language not being
available. That
does mean that some people around the world will have to
wait a few
months for service pack 1 for their language to become
available but
that has always been the case. For those who have a brand
machine with
VISTA on it you may find it is worth asking the machine
manufacturer to
see whether they believe your system and its supplied
software should be
service pack 1 complient. Service pack 1 and 2 for XP broke
quite a few
PCs in their day it is just so long ago that many have
forgotton it. I
would admit though that It does take a while to get the
service pack in
but it is the sort of upgrade you would not want to do in a
hurry,
however a few days seems a little excessive, you must have
run into some
other problems.
