XP updates after SP3, is there a list?

Dr Zoidberg · 22 Jan 2009 at 23:38

Does any one know of a way, or any where there is, to get a list of XP updates that are needed / available after SP3

I have had a look at my add/remove programs list, but all the updates have dates except SP3, so i cant compare that list.

I have several PC's that will want a clean install for different people in the near future and would like to try and get hold of all the updates after SP3 in advance, rather than having to download them several times.

Thanks

I have just done a fresh install, these are all the ones i got after SP3. At least I'm fairly sure they are, i checked one, and it was released after SP3, so i imagine all of them were. I installed .net before SP3, so i can't help with the updates for that though :/

Thank you Lord Filbuster thats great

No Problem, i think some might have been packed with sp3 though. May as well just get all of them, there aren't too many.

I was expecting the list to be longer after the last tie i done it, but that was with office installed and updated as well, there are probably as many again if not more for office on top of XP.
But that gives me a good few to get downloaded in advance.

What version of office? I can give you the list for 2003 if you want.

I tend to use Windows Update just to get a list of the KBs I need and then download them manually to keep for future use.

use this...

copy your xp disc to C:\XPCD

slipstream Sp3 if it's not in it already
use the RVM integrator to slipstream the Post Sp3 update pack

now your xp disc will be pre-installed with the latest updates

Out of interest, does this update pack install author information/custom logo's or anything in the my computer > properties area? I've used 'internet' customised installation discs before and they've always given me headaches...

Also, the update pack seems quite small? I did a post sp3 update the other day and I'm sure it downloaded over 100mb? I might be wrong tho

You've obviously used these packs tho bledd, so I'll be guided by you

Thanks.

nope, ryan doesn't put any crap in them, he just relies on donations

also, it doesn't include .net packs, since they can't be fully integrated

just checked and christ, been a member there for over 4 years now!

to save him costs, check the main site for the latest version, and use his torrent tracker to download them
