Yes, and last but not the least the quote above by Crabby is the most important..
Modify the ISO other than as prescribed by MS and it is NOT LEGIT. and none legit copies of Vista should not be asking questions on how to do.. reason. When the reply to a very accurate HOW TO FIX is "but my copy does not have that function." or that does not work on my version or that is GREYED OUT...

You can Slipstream official updates, patches, fixes into the original ISO, and still remain LEGIT. To slipstream you can find the official recommended method + code(s) in the MS site, with a little bit of looking.

Plus there are many other sites some unofficial that show you how to slipstream...
cd \
cd sp2
xpsp2.exe -x:c:\sp2 [ENTER] (X=extract)
Your computer will seem to pause for a bit, and then an Extracting Files dialog will come up and display the progress.

cd i386 [ENTER]
cd update [ENTER]
update -s:c:\xp [ENTER] (s=slipstream)

After a short pause, XP SP2 Setup will combine, or slipstream, the SP2 files into the XP install.

All the above commands are manually typed using the "CMD" function..
What I have showed you is Official Legit ways to do it..and any other method makes your copy 100% NONE COMPLIANT or ILLEGAL.
