It is a cumulative update. Go straight to SP3.

The only flavour I have not updated yet is XP Gold (pre SP1, or XP w/o a service pack).

I have had no problems upgrading from SP1 --> SP3.

As long as the XP install has at least SP1 installed, you do not need to

install any other updates before SP3.

Sp3 should install just fine if you don't have any sps installed. I

just made my own xp cd with sp3 using the first version of xp. I

installed windows xp using that xp cd that I created with sp3 on my

niece's dell and voila. Everything installed like a dream.

I would also suggest that you get a copy of Autostreamer and try to

slipstream SP3 onto your install CD. This will make later re-installs and

repairs much, much easier.

Note that some OEM CDs cannot be slipstreamed if they have other updates

applied. Unfortunately, one of the only ways to find out is to try.

Re: SP2 and SP3

Hello Tony,

A person DOES need either SP1 or SP2 to be installed in order to install

SP3.

SP3 will NOT install directly on top on just XP 'gold.'

Ramone, where did you get this idea?

The Microsoft page Nonny cited, http://tinyurl.com/2denpw , says

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

updates for the operating system."

And, under System Requirements, it can be installed on any of:

Windows XP;

Windows XP Home Edition;

Windows XP Home Edition N;

Windows XP Media Center Edition;

Windows XP Professional Edition;

Windows XP Professional N;

Windows XP Service Pack 1;

Windows XP Service Pack 2;

Windows XP Starter Edition;

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

Since XP alone is on the list, I conclude that SP1 is not required.

Hmm..that's the way I first read it as well, then everybody jumped in

and said different. Would be nice to be clarified, not having to

install SP1a would sure save a lot of time!

What you are reading is the requirements for the "Overview of Windows XP

You didn't read far enough.

Download one of the three documents that you can access from that

article and you will see that SP1 or SP2 is a requirement:

"SP3 is cumulative, so users can install SP3 on top of Windows XP SP1

or SP2.

Windows XP SP3 supports the same languages as Windows XP did in its

initial release.

You can run the SP3 update package on any edition of Windows XP SP1 or

SP2."

Did you actually try this? Do you have a Gold XP cd that you can use to

install XP without any service packs and then apply SP3 to the virgin

installation that has no service packs installed? If the answer to

these questions is "no" don't present your opinions as facts.

You concluded wrong, if you read here

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389 you will find that:

"You must have either Windows XP Service Pack 1a or Windows XP Service

Pack 2 installed in order to install Windows XP Service Pack 3."

Your conclusions or notions as are just that, you are not helping any

one by spreading incorrect information.

John

May 22, 2008

Re: SP2 and SP3

SP3 requires at least SP1 to be installed prior to update to SP3. SP1 is that

base level that Microsoft has place for the security and WGA checking. (It is

part of the notes for installing SP3.)

*DOH*... read it again.

you are reading requirements to read the overview (one of the following

files)

Overview of Windows XP Service Pack 3.docx

Overview of Windows XP Service Pack 3.pdf

Overview of Windows XP Service Pack 3.xps

To be able to read ONE of the above documents, XP without service pack will

do just fine. HOWEVER, to install SP3, you'll need (at least) SP1a.

May 24, 2008

Re: SP2 and SP3

The "system requirements" section of the web page

http://tinyurl.com/2denpw does not refer to what you need just to read

the documents as you seem to think, but to actually install SP3.

Heck, you don't need XP at all to just read the documents!

I am reading the PDF version. Are you saying they're different?

I guess it all depends on our interpretation of the sentence under

Deploying Windows XP3: "SP3 is cumulative, so users can install SP3 on

top of Windows XP SP1 or SP2."

Is that three options:

1. XP

2. SP1

3. SP2

or two

1. Windows XP SP1

2. SP2

I think it's worded a little vaguely; it would have been clearer with

commas:

Windows XP, SP1, or SP2

which solidifies the first interpretation, or with repetition,

Windows XP SP1 or Windows XP SP2

which solidifies the second interpretation.

No... it's ONE:

You MUST have SP1 installed

You may ALSO have SP2 installed, but SP2 isn't required.

> The Microsoft page Nonny cited, http://tinyurl.com/2denpw , says

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

> updates for the operating system."

>

> And, under System Requirements, it can be installed on any of:

> Windows XP;

> Windows XP Home Edition;

> Windows XP Home Edition N;

> Windows XP Media Center Edition;

> Windows XP Professional Edition;

> Windows XP Professional N;

> Windows XP Service Pack 1;

> Windows XP Service Pack 2;

> Windows XP Starter Edition;

> Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

>

> Since XP alone is on the list, I conclude that SP1 is not required.
