Ya need XP Service Pack 3? Yeah buddy. I got ya servicepack3 right here!

Blog In these first 2 days of the week, I've managed to install XP SP3 on about 4 different systems using 3 different SP sources, on-line, using the ISO and then using just the executable. In all cases it installed perfectly fine even the one I...

Service Pack 3 OR Surprise Package 3?

XP SP3 is Sick Puppy 3, Stupid Patchwork 3, Stupendous Pain-in-the-A__ 3
Blog Comment When I finally decided to use the SP3 Windows Update service, I deliberately only allowed WGA and the Windows Installer to update their patches and then I tried using the SP2 ISO image I had gotten a while back (a week or so), no go.

DebbieToo, a new Serverbaby, is running.
Blog So it loaded and installed almost faster than installing the CDROM ISO version of SP3 on one of the XP systems I did today! Installed Debian 4 (etch) on Debbie's hard drive and this time I did it the easy way.

A $40 CONSUMER-class router has created SP-Update-Hell.

Ya need XP Service Pack 3? Yeah buddy. I got ya servicepack3 right here!
Blog Comment The trick seems to be that either a) you've used an old version of SP2 and you have to connect to the Windows Update site to install more patches (SP2+) and then use Windows Update to upgrade to SP3 OR b) you've downloaded a later version of SP2...

"♬ Service Pack 3 Done give me the Blues♬♬"
Blog I'm going to have to test that idea out but I think I'm on to something and the reason the Gorilla has been relatively quiet about it is that very few people download the entire SP3 ISO. I stupidly went at it again.
