Source for SP3 for WinXP Pro
Hi,
A friend has WinXP Pro SP2 on his PC. He searched the web for SP3 for his version of WinXP. He asked me for help. Note: I have WinXP Home Edition SP2. Does anyone know a site where he can download SP3 for WinXP Pro? Thank you in advance, John |

WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe MD5 = bb25707c919dd835a9d9706b5725af58 331,805,736 bytes http://download.windowsupdate.com/ms...2300ebfde4.exe The number at the end of that filename, is the SHA1 checksum. I just ran SHA1 on my year 2009 download of SP3, and it's the same number. Paul |

(I know, stop calling you Shirley.) https://www.google.com/search?q=wind...p-3%20download 2nd result points to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ice-pack-3-sp3 but the link to the download gives a page reporting "We're sorry, this download is no longer available." Well, you and your friend already knew that Microsoft dropped support for Windows XP quite a while ago (extended support ended back on April 8, 2014). Searching online yields download candidates but from non-Microsoft sites; e.g., https://windows-xp-service-pack-3.en.softonic.com/, https://windows-xp-service-pack-3.soft32.com/ (and, yep, found using an online search on "service pack 3 windows xp rtm network installation"). |

I suppose that any of us who intend to keep using XP, should download and save this file, but I cant see myself spending a whole day at a WIFI to download it. |

Again, Thanks for your replies, John f One problem with the MS download site is if you don't have SP3, it won't let you download anything. Try getting it on an updated machine and then applying it on the old one. The link I gave, works in any browser. Or, you could use wget or curl if you want. And the number on the end is an official checksum, so you can run your MD5 or SHA1 or SHA256 checker after the download finishes. http://download.windowsupdate.com/ms...2300ebfde4.exe Even if you were running SP2, the browser isn't going to care particularly when you enter that link. And I use WinXP with catalog.update.microsoft.com, to fetch updates for various Win10 VMs, and I don't have a problem doing stuff like that, in preparation for updating a VM as efficiently as possible. There's plenty of stuff on the MS site which is "modal", and returns bad results in a browser. But this isn't one of them. Just about every MS help page I click, results in browser indigestion.

Paul Hi Paul and Everybody, I am SORRY for posting the, "Source for SP3....." message in order to help a Ham "friend" of mine. I just contacted (12-21-17) him on the radio and asked him if he was able to download SP3 after I sent him, in email, your replies. To my DISAPOINTMENT, he said he did not get around to it yet!!!! Thanks again for all your help, John |
