Hi all I just d/l the SP3 build 5508 and I'm just wondering after I slipstreamed it with my Win XP Pro build: 5.1.2600.0 (Gold) the build was 3311 not 5508. I wonder where did I go wrong? I also try to slipstremed SP2 first then SP3 but the build was still 3311. Can anyone help me please as I read here that some are having success in slipstreaming the SP3 5508. Thanks in advance.

and i just select the "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe" file.

If you look at this note, it mentions that 5508 & 3311 are essentially the same: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPo...9&SiteID=17 In addition, when I slipstreamed 'it' on my original xp pro with sp1, on my computer/properties it just shows sp3, however, if you go to start/all programs/accessories/system tools/system info/hardware abstraction layer, it will list it as version 5508.

Hopefully the final version will come out soon.

Hope this helps.

Guess I'll just have to wait for the final release then. Thanks for the input.
