Definition
|
Integrated installation
|
Also known as "slipstream installation," in this installation method the service pack is integrated into the operating system, and therefore the operating system and service pack are installed simultaneously. You can use the integrated installation to upgrade computers and to perform new installations on computers that do not have an operating system.
|
Package
|
A collection of files that represents an update or optional component. Packages include the component files as well as the necessary metadata needed to manage it. The package can be compressed into single cabinet file (.cab) file.
|
Service pack
|
Service packs are the means by which product updates are distributed. Service packs are packages that may contain updates for system reliability, program compatibility, security, and more. All of these updates are bundled together for easier downloading and installation. A service package includes all fixes released to date as well as improvements to existing components.
|
Stand-alone package
|
A standalone package contains all of the files needed for the package to be installed on any computer. In contrast, when you install the SP1 package from Windows Update, only the files that are needed for that specific computer are downloaded and installed. For more information, see .
|
Update
|
Noun: Refers to any update, update rollup, service pack, feature pack, critical update, security update, or hotfix that improves or fixes a software product that is released by Microsoft. For definitions of each of these types, see article 824684 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=43258).
Verb: To make a computer or file more current.
|
Upgrade
|
Noun: A software package that replaces a version of a product with a newer version of the same product. Upgrading typically leaves existing data and preferences intact and replaces existing software with the newer version.
Verb: To update existing program files, folders, and registry entries to a more recent version. Upgrading (unlike performing a new installation) leaves existing settings and files in place.
