MD5 for XP SP3 RC1?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Then they are updated someother way I checked the mstsc.exe post installation on a gold\sp3 source and it is showing a file version of 6.0.6001.16659 (Which clearly shows it is updated)

The only way to really settle this is by using a post install comparison.

MinNtServicePackVersion = 256 means a minimum of service pack 1, not 2. (SP# * 256) But it'll still slipstream into a SP0 source without modifying anything. It may only apply to a live installation, even though service packs are supposed to be cumulative.

I slipstreamed XP Pro gold with SP3 and XP Pro SP2 retail that was distributed by MS, and these are the difference for the i386 directory and subdirectories. These files were not changed by slipstreaming the service pack, they were changed by MS. RTM w/ SP3 retains RTM versions for these files and SP2 w/ SP3 retains SP2 versions, they were untouched.

tscupgrd.exe has been updated by SP1 and SP2, but in SP3 they've not decided not to include it at all, so any version of that file other than RTM shows an error in setuperr.log.

Slipstreamed disks do not include a dotnetfx folder in the root of the CD. Retail CDs don't have cmpnents folder. Slipstreamed disks don't have updated tools in the Support\Tools from 08/2004.

None of it makes a difference, your integrated install will be the same as any other.

Yes my mistake sp2 would be 512.

I slipstreamed XP Pro gold with SP3 and XP Pro SP2 retail that was distributed by MS, and these are the difference for the i386 directory and subdirectories. These files were not changed by slipstreaming the service pack, they were changed by MS. RTM w/ SP3 retains RTM versions for these files and SP2 w/ SP3 retains SP2 versions, they were untouched.

My source is a stock OEM cd and reflect the the same as what you've stated.

There is a change related tscupgrd.exe in TXTSETUP.SIF i'm not exactly sure what the change means. But shouldn't the entry be deleted if it's not being updated/used anymore?

sp2

tscupgrd.exe = 100,,,,,,,,3,3

sp3

tscupgrd.exe = 1,,,,,,,,3,3

I agree that changes outside of i386 don't matter but discrepancies in i386 should be scrutinized.

Atleast SP1 required to install SP3 on a live install.

[cluberti]

That is correct - it should slipstream just fine into an RTM source (and technically, that is recommended), but installing into a running box requires (at least right now) that the box be running SP1.
