[Question] can i slipstream SQL2000 with SP3 ?

[XP_2600]

Im installing SQL 2000 in several machines, and alot of apps need SP3 to be installed to function well, is there anyway to slipstream SP3 with the SQL installation ?

There is no known/documented way to slipsteam it in MSSQL 2000 unfortunately (supposedly due to the fact it uses an IS installer). That, and I don't see why you would use such an old SP (unless your app will NOT work with SP4, which I highly doubt, having never seen such a scenario before. You'd hope they'd have updated it to work with SP4 otherwise). SQL Server 2005 is likely to get slipstream support eventually, but AFAIK SP1 is not slipstreamable (haven't even bothered trying, in good old SQL Server tradition)
