bucketbuster Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Do they differ in size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangwooksohn Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 Oh, yes. They do have the same size, but it has slightly different decompressed size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Better to extract both service packs and run a "WinDiff" on both folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I was thinking exactly of the same. Now I want to know what's different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebells Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 maybe one of them won't have the rtm in its tag? The rtm shouldn't bother me but it kind of does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 The bits part of the url should have something to do with it... since it stands for:Background Intelligent Transfer Service, a new Windows Update related service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe is the official one, and it has the proper MD5 checksum.I'm second guessing the other one is the network install that was released to MSDN suscribers between Aug 6-8... By any chance, does it not have a signature? Note the URL also starts with oem... (it's the OEM system builder website, so it's definately not for the same "audience")Personally I'd use the official one, but most likely it's just different packing but same contents.
