As of today when you update your Windows XP release via APUP, all updates replaced by SP3 will be removed. Additionally the Windows 2000 and 2003 (x86) releases have been updated in order to support the SP3 transition and will need to be updated if used in conjunction wiith the XP release.

Math 101:
Before SP3 - AP XP total download size = 302MiB
After SP3 - AP XP total download size = 145MiB
Ain't math grand?

Hi,

Are there any plans to include a module to install SP3 (with or without the SP3 download itself)?

Kind Regards

Am I correct in assuming that what you're really saying is that all (or most) of the update folders in C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$ will be removed?

@PsiMoon314 - I'll work on a module for SP3 and add it to the Standalone modules a little later. I don't want to add this to APUP until AutoPatcher.exe supports conflicting modules.

@StingRay - All updates located in the "modules" folder within your AutoPatcher directory will be removed. APUP will never touch anything on your local computer other than the AutoPatcher release files.

Hi Erik,

I have a working SP3 install module that uses the RunOnce method to install a Service Pack at the next reboot.

If you want to take a look at this module then let me know.

A option to set a module as exclusive when selected would be useful (e.g. when a module is selected then everything else is unchecked automatically).

Kind Regards
