I hope this is the right forum for this question. I am in the process of using nLite to slipstream SP3 into my existing version of XP-SP1, including all of the updates and hotfixes. I upgraded to IE7 in December 06 and upgraded to SP3 in June 08. Should I not include all of the updates to IE7 that were loaded before the upgrade to SP3? I tried to do this and out of the 11 IE7 patches before SP3, 6 of them failed to integrate.
