yep. that can be found in here, but it fits only to English, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish and it fits for Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista x32 only. i'm looking for the x64 version for it. if someone find that, please post the link for the download page, like the one that is presented in here
edit: according to the infos that i've found, sp2 isn't cumulative and the user must have sp1 prior to the install of sp2. also, if the vista edition was stripped by vlite, then the sp2 install will fail, according to the stripped features...
edit2: download link for vista x64 is in here and it has the same limitations than the x32 version, aka:
edit3: security updates that are included can be found in here

we are checking the updates that should remain, because ms was dubious in the vista sp2. i suppose that all yours must be aware that ms says that windows search 4 is now part of vista sp2. problem: if yours look at sp2 replacement list, the kb of search 4 isn't in the list, despite be in the description of sp2. how can we trust, if even ms documentation about it is confuse? also, there's the windows installer issue. ms documentation about sp2 states that windows installer is included also an update, it is listed in the replaced list of sp2, and yet, there some people around the globe that say that it isn't included. and, to say the least, those are are just 2 of the issues that we will have to track about sp2. how can we track those issues? there's just one way: do an clean install, check each file, of each update that we know that may have an issue, take the exact file versions, then check every single file with the ones included in the updates for those services/security updates.
i could say that this is easy, but don't, this isn't. it requires full and clean reinstalls, taking several hours straight. so no, this isn't easy and this isn't fast. even for vista x64, that we did an public beta, not even a single word, except from an certain troll that said "screw your documentation", in his own words (and he got an ban because of it). we know, this isn't the first time that ms don't talk with ms. because we know that we can't fully trust in everything that ms write about, we can't just say "screw your documentation" without first test it, and it takes time.
also, thanks to DesertJerry, we are now aware that there's an potential issue that we soon will face, related to an update that is about to come. also, due an test that i did, we also are aware that autopatcher will not handle windows seven without be updated. and we also need test it.
all this takes time. so, i just can say this: all those tasks will be done, one at a time. but everything will be done when it's ready, just that
