    I've just re-installed Panasonic Factory Image of Vista Business and updated all updates (including Vista Service Pack 1), however when I run the Windows Upgrade Advisor for Win 7 it tells me that I need to install Vista Service Pack 1. When I run Windows Update and look in History, It says that it has been successfully installed. Where do I go from here?
    This is all in preparation for running an upgrade of Vista to Win 7

    Further Google Searches found this obscure thread:
    Windows update offering KB936330 to install repeatedly - Microsoft Community
    I followed the Step 2 in above link, and then found a new download of KB936330 here:
    Download Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone (KB936330) from Official Microsoft Download Center
    Plugged in the Toughbook and re-installed KB936330 following the directions.
    It took around 80 minutes or so, therefore be patient and let it re-boot on it's own several times. Now all updates have been installed and the Upgrade Advisor says I'm good to go regarding upgrading to Win7 and/or Win8.
    Regards,
