It did say on the update page that it was on DVD. You can get it on

But, you know, you could get a DVD drive for about $20, so, why not
just go get one?
Well, for one, DVD drive support on Windows, especially WinXP, is
decidedly problematic. It's not provided by the OS natively, but by
add-in software.
WinXP, in particular, has similar problems with CD-R/RW drives, ones
which are inherent in the OS, and not correctable.
Optical drives with WinXP are very problematic.
Wow -- I never knew that! When I installed WinXPpro(SP1 which I have
since upgraded to service pack 2) on my desktop, I had a CDrw drive and
a DVDrom drive. They both worked excellently after I installed WinXP
and required no extra drivers to be installed. Then I took them both
out and replaced them with a single DVD+-RW drive, and it records all
matter of media except dual-layer DVDs, since it isn't designed for
that, all without any installation disk, all without any problems.
From my experience with WinXP I would say that support for optical
drives is great.
