Creating USB stick with just one OS

Is there a way to update all the OSes and Office packages, and then break up the created USB folder so that I just have an update for, say XP and all Offices, or Vista and all Offices? I know I can do an ISO for each, but that doesn't really work for USB sticks, does it?

Thanks,

Jim

The only way I know is to create the ISO and extract it to your usb stick.

Hi!

The option "Copy updates for selected products into..." does what it says, so if your HDD patch repository contains previously downloaded updates for e.g. wxp and o2k3, you may subsequently let copy wxp only to USB if you unselect o2k3 and, if you like, select "Skip download".

Greetings!

Sorry if not the best place to post this. Just tried the usb copy with no download from an attached network drive to a local drive.
Unchecked all the office, dotnet and other parts but the xp. With service packs unchecked too.
It did copied the whole client\ofc\glb directory. With around 1G in size.
(it was v. 6.7.2)

Best Wishes!

Sorry, I can't reproduce this.
Looks like you did not uncheck the option "Global (multilingual updates)" in the "Office Updates XP - 2010" group.
