Manually downloaded and installed for both my Windows 7 as Windows XP installations. Windows XP was connected to the internet for this purpose only and disconnected immediately after installation of the update completed. I use Windows XP only for applications that do not run on Windows 7 and later and don't need an enabled internet connection.
