I tried to do this on SP2, but needed to be in an X64 enviroment to slipstream, would it be ok to do this on Microsoft Virtual Machine?

I've also heard that you can extract the service pack and replace update.exe with a standard 32bit one and it'll integrate just fine.

(That said, I did it in a VM myself :P)

dont you need a 64bit OS to emulate a 64bit VM?

Thought you did. If so why not just update it in the native os :)

No, VMWare allows for 64bit guest OSes on a 32bit host OS (assuming you have a 64bit processor)

I used the update.exe and updspapi.dll from the 32bit 2003 Server SP2 update and it worked fine. :thumbup

Uhhh are you sure? I tried setting up 64bit guest OS on VMWare so I can test XP x64 ISO without reformatting my old slow UDMA 2 HDD.. VMWare says I don't have a 64bit CPU.. and its written right on the box supports EM64T and I've run XP x64 on it before...
