SP3 Inclusion of WMP 11

[Guest Rich]

Greetings,

I understand that WMP 11 will be included in the SP3. I currently use WMP

10 because it syncs with my Dell Axim PDA.

Will WMP 11 be installed automatically? If so, will I be able to revert to

WMP 10?

If not, will I be able to have the ability to "selectively not install" WMP

11.

Thank you for your help,

Rich

Where did you get THAT from?

 

From the MS site:

 

"Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released

updates for the operating system. This update also includes a small

number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change

customers’ experience with the operating system."

 

Keywords: "operating system".

Sorry. I didn't know this is sacred ground, PD43. I do use XP, and Outlook

Express is an integral part of XP. But I have never used MS Outlook, so why

would I belong THERE?

You mean that I was RIGHT? MP11 is NOT gonna be in SP3???

 

THANK YOU. I was gonna check into a nursing home.

 

Now I don't have to.

Re: SP3 Inclusion of WMP 11

 

The article you reference is simply wrong. I have been using SP3 since the

beta came online and it has never addressed any of the bundled programs.

 

Download and install SP3 RC refresh and see for yourself. It is feature

complete and has been since beta 2. As in all previous service packs, the

bundled programs (WMP, IE, OE, etc) are not included and updates to the

bundled programs are not included. Even the .net framework is not included

since that is optional with XP. The bundled programs all are updated

separately and always have been.

Nope, Outlook isn't the same as Outlook Express. ;-)

While it does not specifically say that WMP11 will NOT be included in SP3

(and I and many others have not been able to find such a statement on any of

MS's web sites) it does say that IE7 which has also been available for an

extended time is NOT part of SP3

Re: SP3 Inclusion of WMP 11

 

Not to worry. The bundled programs have never been updated by an OS service

pack. You may very safely assume that WMP is in no way affected.

PC Magazine articles from way back in the development of SP3 were wrong then

and are wrong now. Another reason not to listen to them, I suppose. ;-)
