    I don't have an internet access.So I need to download updates from another computers with internet. You know I need to validate my copy of Vista. But the computer I use for downloading updates uses WinXP and it's not valid i think.So I decided to use alternative way of validation and downloaded GenuineCheck.exe. I get it to my PC, but it said: This isn't for Vista.

    So I need a GenuineCheck.exe for Vista to get the code and go on downloading updates. How can I get GenuineCheck.exe for Vista on a computer which uses WinXP?

    The only way to install the WGA file is via the internet.  It must communicate with the WGA server in order to check and validate the product key.

    So, you're basically saying that we're screwed if we have a Vista computer that we cannot connect to the Internet. It just remains unpatched.
