Windows XP Service Pack 3 Build 3311 RC2
Windows XP Service Pack 3 Build 3311 RC2
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) provides new proactive security technologies for Windows XP to better defend against viruses, worms, and hackers along with increased manageability and an improved experience for users.
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 fixes a range of bugs in Windows XP. It doesn't matter what XP updates you have previously applied to your system, SP3 will update any unpatched, partially patched or completely updated system (it includes all previously released patches and updates). XP SP3 fixes the security holes so you won't get attacked.
Microsoft periodically combines updates, fixes, and other improvements into a single package - Service Pack. Microsoft develops updates, fixes, and other improvements that address issues reported by the company’s customers and partners. To make it easier for customers to get these updates and enhancements, Microsoft periodically combines them into a single package, and makes that package available for all Windows customers.
These packages are called service packs", Microsoft revealed in the introduction of the Overview of Windows XP Service Pack 3. With the Release Candidates of Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 heading to increased testing pools the past week, and with Microsoft cooking the first public build of the first refresh for its latest Windows client, the official overview for XP SP3 is the only crumb from the service pack fiesta over at the Redmond company. The Release Candidate of XP SP3 in a pre-final stage has already shipped to MSDN and TechNet subscribers.

All builds prior to 3311 used the same KB number, so it was difficult to determine which build you were truly getting, even after 3300 was released, the website still (erroneously) listed it as 3264.colornokia wrote:This is a link for 3264 and I think RC2 should be 3300, am I worong?
RC2 is build 3311.

How to "slipstream"/"integrate" (add to non-SP XP CD) this WU version 3311 of SP3 RC2?
update\update /integrate:J:\XPdisk does not work for me
(where J:\XPdisk is the directory containing the entire non-SP XP including the necessary i386 directory)
(I copied all extracted files from the Windows\Software Distribution folder after it was dowloaded; could not find the kb*.exe file)
update\update /integrate:J:\XPdisk does not work for me

(I copied all extracted files from the Windows\Software Distribution folder after it was dowloaded; could not find the kb*.exe file)
We are one, but we are not the same... Talk to each other!
OK, I have been playing with this integrate situation, currently the only thing I have had work (as far as getting it to slipstream, still making disc and testing) is......
I took complete RC1 3300 build KB file, extracted it, and i copied the files/folders from the extracted 3311 file into it to match the original... ie copy the contents of the root from this 3311 into the 1386 of the 3300 and all subfolders into corresponding folders.
At least it reports it integrated correctly, will let ya know after installing

it won't as it comes from MS (well, RC2 anyway.. all prior releases have), but I'm tryin to beat thatChiefZeke wrote:Right now I don't remember where it was I read it - but I seem to remember that XP SP3 will not slipstream to and update an XP with no SP CD - the user must have an SP1 or SP2 source.

I was able to that with RC1, but not with RC2 (the public versions).redxii wrote:By using the integration options. I slipstreamed SP3 v3300 into a source with no service packs and it worked, I've done nothing special.
Note that the build number of my RC2 is 3311, not 3300.

Why not consider to use japanese and/or german inf's from standalone sp3.3311 as model ?
japanese.sp3.3311
german.sp3.3311
sp3.express.enu.3311
See http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5687

german.sp3.3311
sp3.express.enu.3311

Where's the English build for 3311? I find it hard to believe that both the Japanese and German versions can be discovered on their servers, but not the English full installer. It's a U.S.-based company...
That long number at the end of the file is a sha1 sum. If you know the sha1 sum then you can find it, but you can't get a sha 1 sum without knowing where it is first.

I spend some time trying to find the name from servers caches but ( probably ) an full english does tot exist. Only the express that start Windows Update process.
And sha1 from file only can be obtained. I tried some combinations of "update/software/svpk/2008/02/windowsxp-kb936929" plus or minus some terms. Bad luck !
tried and strings like this used in the web update process , finded in files , etc. none. Only stupids that post 3264, 3282 and 3300 as later edition.
? And strings like this "xyz661eb-2423-451d-bf5d-13199e37df28" from where is obtainned ? used in "download.microsoft.com/download/x/y/z/xyz661eb-2..." paths.
And sp3.cat files seem to expire in 5.april.2008. need a new activation? or is date of a new beta/final release ?

incomplete because if you look there is a file in ther called usedelta.....
That tells it to only update files in the old sp with files in the new sp, so it does not incled all SP3 flies, only changed ones, that is what makes it tridky slipstreaming.... i will have aupdate latere that hads the files, as needed (compressed or not) to replace files in old sp files...

yup, that's build 3311, has an internal build date of 12Feb2008, and is about 22Mb smaller than build 3264.
And I refer everyone to this KB article if you've done any hacking to ntoskrnl.exe (such as a custom boot screen).
