question about clearing all pending updates from setup.exe

question about clearing all pending updates from setup.exe

[LMH]

Hello,

I need to update my python version but at this point, I don't want to install any 
other updates. This is an old xp box and I don't want to fiddle with it overly much 
given that xp support is going away. If changing python causes issues, I can always 
change it back.

I know I can select, "pending" under view and go through the list changing the new 
version number back to "keep" but the list is long and I was wondering if the was a 
better way to go about this.

Thanks,

LMH

Select "Keep" button instead of the default "Current";
than replace on the "New" column the "Keep" for Python with last version

I suspect you will need to update something more including
cygwin.

Thanks, I thought there was a way to do this but couldn't remember.

It looks like I need python 3.2 and it seems as if cygwin only goes up to python 2.7
