VS 2008 SP1 standalone iso

I deployed my project on a new development system and realised that it doesnt work anymore. Quite a bit of functionality was missing. After spending a fair amount of time, I figured that the reason it had stopped working was because I was referring to code added in SP1.

In any case, I downloaded the installer for VS 2008 SP1 but surprise, surprise - everytime I would need to install SP1, I would have to download the file. Since, this seemed like a less than optimal solution, after a little bit of googling, I found a stand alone iso for the SP.

For all of you who need it, you can get it from the following link
