Just wondering.
Why is there a difference between the date and size of this sp3, as posted by jhmac77, digital signatures of march 20th - 331,774,504 bytes, and the one from windows download site as posted by IcemanND, digital signatures of February 12 - 330,554,920. I'm so confused. Which to choose.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

"Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP Service Pack 2"
... not cumulative ?

No it's not the RTM, I suspect we'll see at least 1 more build as this version added some things that weren't in there before and might need further testing & fixing. Considering this will be the last SP that XP ever gets, it's a good thing they're making sure it's perfect, but I'm just an anxious as you are (this SP is 1.5yrs late according to MS's original plans).

Thanks for the link. I nlited it and it works great.

Here is the link for the german users build 5508 -> windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-deu_bff98b4e9afe67c6b150e8ee3f7073d2c88aa971.exe

I was wondering the same thing, i thought it was a service pack, not a rollup package

i integrated on xp gold and it worked just fine.....

yeah Integration works fine with an RTM XP, but if you want to install the Sp3 on a running system you must have at least Sp1 installed

we'll most likely see the XP SP3 RTM release later this April. probably the 3rd or 4th week of April.



what MS said there is wrong. ALL service packs for WinXP ARE cumulative.

thanks for the link to build 5508, jhmac77.

5508 has to be rtm or a ealier buil;d like 5503,i can't see it hit build 5509 its vistas earlier build

I don't think so. 5508 isn't going to be the RTM release.

Regarding HDA support and XP SP3: I've recently checked the XP SP3 RC2 refresh build 5508 download and it only contains the hdaudbus.inf and hdaudbus.sys files. The hdaprop.dll, hdashcut.exe, hdaudio.inf, hdaudio.sys and hdaudres.dll files are not there. So right now XP SP3 RC2 refresh only contains partial HDA support, not full support.

hopefully MS will add the missing HDA files onto the final release of XP SP3.

guys,

can I integrate build 5508 into a XP SP2 CD using the same serial for SP2 ?

thanks

XP SP3 Coming April 21 for OEMs, MSDN/TechNet Subscribers

Hi all I just d/l the SP3 build 5508 and I'm just wondering after I slipstreamed it with my Win XP Pro build: 5.1.2600.0 (Gold) the build was 3311 not 5508. I wonder where did I go wrong? I also try to slipstremed SP2 first then SP3 but the build was still 3311. Can anyone help me please as I read here that some are having success in slipstreaming the SP3 5508. Thanks in advance.

probably a fakely named exe

wait for an ms sp3 link

I doubt it. Here is the link and i just select the "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe" file.

If you look at this note, it mentions that 5508 & 3311 are essentially the same: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPo...9&SiteID=17 In addition, when I slipstreamed 'it' on my original xp pro with sp1, on my computer/properties it just shows sp3, however, if you go to start/all programs/accessories/system tools/system info/hardware abstraction layer, it will list it as version 5508.
Hopefully the final version will come out soon.
Hope this helps.

Guess I'll just have to wait for the final release then. Thanks for the input.
