MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft now releases ISO-9660 CD image files that contain all the security updates that are released on the Microsoft Windows Update Web site for Windows. The ISO image files are released at the same time as security updates are released on the Windows Update Web site.
The ISO image files are intended for corporate administrators who:

How to use ISO image files
An ISO-9660 image file is an exact representation of a CD or DVD that includes the content and the logical format. The most common use of an ISO image file is to record, or "burn", the image file to a recordable CD or DVD. This operation creates a copy of the original disc that includes the file name and volume label information. You can open ISO image files and copy their contents to a local folder, similar to ZIP files. ISO image files can also be mounted and accessed as a virtual device.
Note To create a usable CD-ROM from an ISO image file, you must use third-party CD-ROM writing software. For more information about how to create the CD-ROM or about how to mount an ISO image file, see the documentation that is included with the third-party CD-ROM writing software.
