Thanks. It sounded a bit crazy, because I have slipstreamed several SP3 builds on RTM before and it worked fine every time. I just wanted to avoid nasty surprises.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsxp/cc164204.aspx This article says at least SP1 must be installed before installing SP3!?? Does this affect integrated installs also?

Saw that one before. I kept IE, so that's not the case. But thanks anyway.

If I try installing (the latest build) on a running machine, I get an error "...\i386\update\update.inf file is not correct." After that - silence. Extraction works fine. Both MD5 and SHA-1 hashes check out. Didn't find anything helpful via google. Any suggestions? Great work BTW
