Seeking Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 3 Download (self.windows) submitted 9 months ago by nx_2000 I am trying to find Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Embedded (possibly named WindowsXPESP3-June2009-x86-ENU.exe). We have DELL thin client with windows embedded sp2 image. Is it possible to install SP3 to this thin client with windows embedded version? The main goal for us is to have RDC 7 on thin clients and without SP3 it is imposible to install it. Thanks aurimas. Wednesday, June 30, 2010 9:40 AM.

The Windows XP Service Pack 3 will be released to the public tomorrow. A lot of users have already downloaded the service pack from various locations like download portals and the Bittorrent P2P network. Many users however were very cautious and decided to wait until the service pack would be available through official Microsoft channels. Tomorrow, users can download the service pack directly from Windows Update. Downloads may be rather slow after the release as caused by the expected rush, and it does make sense to download the service pack 3 for Windows XP early. Cautious users will be delighted to know that the official download links of service pack 3 have been revealed and that it is as of now possible to download the Service Pack 3 directly from Microsoft servers.

Available are service pack releases for various languages. All for 32-bit systems only though. The languages that are available are English, German, Russian, French, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. All downloads are directly from Windows Updates.

If you have been wary before downloading the service pack there is nothing more to fear by using this official download. Microsoft removed some downloads from its Support website. The Service Pack 3 for Windows XP from the company's Microsoft Update Catalog website. Download speed is fine. I'm getting about 330 Kilobyte per second currently. Windows XP Service Pack 3 direct downloads The Service Pack 3 for Windows XP has finally been added again to Windows Update and the Microsoft website and every user has the opportunity to download and install it.

The ISO is provided for system administrators who have to distribute the Service Pack to several computers, and home users who want to update more than one system, for instance their own and their parent's computer. There should not be a problem however to distribute the executable version of the service pack to multiple computers as well as long as they are all using the same language version. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • You need to burn the ISO images to CD or DVD first, or mount them, while you can execute the executable files directly on the PC that requires updating. Network administrators may want to check out the Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package that Microsoft made available, which allows the updating of multiple computers on a network.

You can also order Windows XP Service Pack 3 DVDs from Microsoft. Information about the procedure are available here. I never liked Windows Update and prefer to download the patches, which includes the Service Pack 3, as a direct download so that I can burn it once on a CD or DVD and distribute it to every computer that needs the update. Production Tools Software Bundles there. Block installation of Windows XP SP3 Several users encounter problems and issues during and after installation of the two new Windows service packs that Microsoft released earlier this year. Both service packs will be automatically downloaded later this year to computers that have automatic updates enabled, which could prove disastrous for companies who cannot afford that they computers stop working after the update. A solution is to disable automatic updates, but that's probably not a preferred solution by many as well as it interferes with regular patches. The easiest way to block the automatic download and installation of both Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is a Registry key that has to be added to the Registry.
