Thanks mim0 for your reply. It seems, that I do not stated clearly what I do want. Well, my fault. I plan to slipstream: - IE8, - WMP11, - latest available post-SP3 hotfixes, into XP SP3. After reading your post, I went to your list and read the KB972582 issue once more, now carefully. So, if I will slipstream IE8, I have to: - put the IE8-WindowsXP-KB980182-x86-ENU.exe hotfix (the one intended for IE8) into HF\ folder. - extract (and compress it by makecab) the shdocvw.dll from the WindowsXP-KB980182-x86-ENU.exe (the one intended for IE6) and put it into REPLACE\I386\ folder. Is it correct?
