I am gathering up drivers for an unattented installation project. When I browse the "Windows Update Catalogue" I am unable to select Windows XP SP2 as my operating system. What gives??? This seems absolutely ridiculous.

Here is a screenshot of the "select your OS" prompt that is MISSING windows xp sp2? any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Is anyone else running into this problem? I would think this is a somewhat large problem for anyone that uses the msft driver database for unattended installs and deployments.

Well...anyways...perhaps there is a better driver database I should be using. If so, I am open to suggestions.

any responses are greatly appreciated. thx!

click on find updates for Microsoft Windows operating systems

brings the page with the drop down box

For me that includes the following list of XP versions:

Windows XP Family

Windows XP Home Edition RTM

Windows XP Home Edition SP1

Windows XP Home Edition SP2 <------------

Windows XP IA64-bit edition

Windows XP IA64-bit Edition RTM

Windows XP IA64-bit Edition SP1

Windows XP IA64-bit Edition Version 2003 Family

Windows XP IA64-bit Edition Version 2003 RTM

Windows XP IA64-bit Edition Version 2003 SP1

Windows XP Professional RTM

Windows XP Professional SP1

Windows XP Professional SP2 <-------------

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

Windows XP RTM

Windows XP SP1

Windows XP SP2 <------------

Windows XP x64 Edition Family

As for drivers, maybe they don't think thereare substantive differences for component drivers between SP1 and SP2
