XP SP3 Local Download

Do I have the RTM version if it is indicated as SP3 V.3264 in System Properties?

It was the latest Final release according to their website. The rest are the betas ;) I'll probably upload the beta too if the other one is not acceptable?

There were some compatibility fixes for later SP3 builds (5503) which I think might be important but if he's only slipstreaming and creating a Image it shouldn't be a problem.

Btw. The beta's are fine, the official releases only come every so often and I'm not sure how Nuhi decides when to make it non-beta but I don't really see a difference in stability.

I think that the SP2 in the XP install is proably causing the problem, could be wrong? (have not got to mess around with nLite just made a SP2 SS install)
 
Ok i got SP2 and SP3 integrated into my install is that bad or good
 
Ok thanx man i got everything working and flipping fast was running

I'm also downloading that one...

Can anyone here confirm whether that Sp3 has given them issues and if it's the RTM?

The Agasa FTP server's one seems to be the RTM version. After it is installed, it is stated as SP3 in the System Properties, without any version number. No issues so far after a clean install of XP and then applying the SP afterwards on a laptop.

The download might take some time though. Speed of a single download is limited to 50KB/s and it is somewhat unstable, unless it was IS who was at fault.

On a 4Mb/s line it took me 2 hours to pull the file of 324Mb.

Yeah it should, I've been waiting for the official SP3 but some guy was bothering me that he needs help with his XP and I said I'll make him a SP3 copy but he did not pitch up after I downloaded it from the links
so I wasted 300MB. :mad:
