Hi everyone,

Ok, if WMP 11 is not included, then which version is in SP3? WMP10 or WMP9 ?

Also, is it true that after slipstreaming the Retail and Corporate versions of XP Pro will be the same (that is, binary identical)?

In other words, will I be able to repair both retail and corporate installations with the same CD?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards.

I have been accepted into the XP SP3 beta, I am going to install it this weekend. I intergrated it into my XP that
went fine. It nice not adding the 80 or so updates to my CD.

I saw Beta Build 3025 on Connect.

Approximately 350MB for the languages English, German and Japanese

Download Link: http://connect.microsoft.com/windows/Downl...DownloadID=8704 (invitation ID required).

Most of all are security and networking updates.

I have no idea how some of you got this to slipstream. When I try it it won't take any of my legal product keys, either vlk or retail. I've tried slipstreaming it onto sp2 and sp0, both times no luck. It does install fine on an existing sp2 machine with my employer's vlk but not on an sp0 machine. Is there something I'm missing?

Yes.
That should be because retail & VLK fresh-install keys weren't supposed to work with build 3180 (and its timebombed?).

Wait for public betas.

The only possible bug is that slipstreaming SP3 into SP2 Media Center 3.0 results in SP3 Media Center 2.8. I think they might be rolling back some code for a new Media Center 2008, but it's too early to tell.

I looked into this and I think its only got to do with MEDCTROC.INF being replaced

Before

CODE

[Strings]
MCE_version = "3.0"

eHome_DESC = "Media Center"

After

CODE

[Strings]
MCE_version = "2.8"

eHome_DESC = "Media Center"

OH and Multimedia Home Networking (MHN) seems to be missing from 2.8

easy

4. Does it include Update rollup 2 and last October 2006 XPMCE update rollup? What happens when SP3 is slipstreamed to XPMCE 2005 OEM? What's the version in MCE About?

No MCE 2006 update rollup is not included with SP3. Installation of SP3 on MCE 2005 would not modify the version
