I don't know what an ISO image is.
The file is on the Microsoft website. When downloaded it creates a folder with this file within, X86-en-windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu_c81472f7eeea2eca421e116cd4c03e2300ebfde4.exe 324 mb in size. -- Don Vancouver, USA "Joe727" wrote in message ...

I saw the following note on the location you give which caused me to
continue searching until I found the location I gave in my earlier posting. DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download for individual users is now available on Windows Update. The best way to ensure you get Windows XP Service Pack 3 is by turning on the Automatic Updates feature in Windows XP. You can use our step-by-step instructions or, if you prefer, let us do it for you. -- Don Vancouver, USA "Nepatsfan" wrote in message ...

Windows XP SP3 on CD?
Thanks. I slipstreamed SP2, and I want to slipstream SP3.
However, I got a SP 2 CD from Microsoft when SP 2 was released, which made slipstreaming SP2 a simple operation. I recall ordering the SP2 CD online.

The file you download is nothing more than a data file, same as your pictures.

Windows XP SP3 on CD?
I have yet to see a site where you can order an SP3 CD through Microsoft.
I'll go out on a limb here and predict a few things that you can expect when they do offer SP3 on CD. First, I don't think it will be free like the SP2 CD was. Second, they'll try to steer those who will be updating multiple computers to the site where they can download the .iso file. The CD that is created from that file is similar to the one they shipped for SP2. In fact, the first two screens that appear when the CD autoplays are nearly identical. For anyone that's looking to create a slipstreamed installation CD, this file, or the one that Don pointed out, will do the job just fine. Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Keep in mind that the CD produced from the .iso file contains this same file. The additional items included on the CD are things which the average home user will never need. Good luck Nepatsfan "Joe727" wrote in message ... Thanks.

Windows XP SP3 on CD?
What you downloaded from the Update Catalog is the full service pack. That file
is also available through this web site. Note the same warning. Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Microsoft would prefer users obtain SP3 for their computers through Windows Update. For those who are looking to create a slipstreamed installation CD, they'll need the full service pack file.

Thanks for the info Pats Fan. I'll simply create a CD from the ISO file and
use Autoslipstream from there. Joe "Nepatsfan" wrote in message ... I have yet to see a site where you can order an SP3 CD through Microsoft.
