Hello,
Trying to slipstream SP2 in XPPro for install CD creation. I've got everything but the slipstream down.

Any Ideas?
 


I don't think you can.

SP1a or greater have to be installed before SP3 can be used on an install. I would guess this applies to slipstreaming as well
 



Yes, I have seen that SP1 requirement mentioned before; however, I have done it twice on separate computers, over a year ago, so maybe that SP1 requirement was not in effect yet.
 


Service pack 3 DOES NOT contain the SP1 components. Its always been that way. Though I think there is an update cd that did not need SP1. It was 200mb larger than the IT pro package.

I would guess that you were dealing with SP1 installs and didn't know it or had that cd.

How did you update those systems?
