Hi,

Tried this tonight and it's beautiful!  You select the platform and 
architecture.  It downloads the files and you can select to either make an ISO, 
a USB installer or just leave the files in the folder you execute the app from. 
 Copy it to a DVD and run the update.exe under the client folder and away it 
goes.

Dead handy to carry the updates around with you, especially when dealing with 
clients with slow computers/connections.  If they dont' have the latest SP 
installed you'll need to manually reboot after this installs.  However, once 
that's done you can temporarily allow it to auto reboot/recall and it flys 
through.  What it actually does is creates a temporary Admin user account for 
this.  If you are using any form of A11Y you can start this up once it logs in 
to the temp account to monitor the install progresses.
